I’ve been lurking around these too for about that length of time and am sorely tempted. I rather like the ethos of well designed and built tool watch that flies beneath the radar.
Also in the same boat with these, can potentially see it being next up after I filled the Pam320 sized hole in the slush fund.jimmyslr said:
This page is on a roll for me today after the one just above!
This blancpain is a super watch. I was excited when they came out in this smaller size vs the rather large mainstream version. My wrists aren’t up to wearing the regular on but this looks much better imho.
Out of interest, where did you get it as there seem to be very few around? The only ones I’ve seen on the market have been on the second hand market overseas. If I could see one on the flesh in London, and it was actually for sale, I’d be sorely tempted.

I got lucky and got it off a mate on TZ-UK. He only sold because he snagged one with a bracelet. 500 were made. Just 100 came with a bracelet.

I have been reading a fair bit about these.... very clever technology.
What are the service intervals on this mechanism?
4 years apparently, although the AD said that people tend to run them for much longer without issues. TBH Mrs OMITN’s Rolex has only been serviced once in 15 years and it runs just fine....What are the service intervals on this mechanism?

Yebbut, nobbut, yebbut.... the Rolex is running at a fraction of the speed of your Seiko.

Hmm. Will investigate. Anyway, no rush: it’s only a year old (I think it was the last SBGA011 sold in the UK).

Long time lurker. I received this from Lorne last week after deliberating for about 2 years!
I know it's a cliche but photos really don't do it justice.
(Particularly this one!)

It is, without doubt, the most impossible watch to photograph. I've been trying for years!
