Corgi Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hello dear friends! A few weeks ago Narikaa informed me he had stumbled upon a Blancpain Leman, one of the most sought-after watches in the replica community. Although hesitant at first, I quickly jumped at the chance to own a piece so few get to experience first-hand. Today was the big day. It arrived and to my surprise, looked even more beautiful than the pictures originally suggested. I'm so happy that I'm now an owner of this watch, because I've been waiting for over a year to have a "BLANCPAIN" in my watch-box. Please enjoy the photos I snapped up quickly... and excuse the quality as I took them in haste. The size and design makes it a great understated classy dinner watch. The highly-polished stainless steel reflects like platinum, and setting is a breeze with a pop-out crown and fully functional complications! I know it may not be MBK Aquanaut level quality, but this is such a rare find that it really doesn't matter. Thanks Narikaa for another great transaction!!

Corgi Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 just a question, why exactly is this watch so sought after?! Not just this watch, but finding any example of a Blancpain replica is very tough at this time. A few dealers used to stock one or two models a few years ago but then they all pretty much disappeared off the market. In my time on this forum I've only encountered two pieces, only one of which was owned by a forum regular. To be honest, I do not know of a more elusive brand. Oh, and thanks for all the kind replies everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 That is a nice looking watch. It looks like stick on letters on the plate on the back...hopefully those don't fall off like the infamous IWC rotor letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
