My first love

My first watch - Blancpain Leman Ultra-slim.  Probably the bracelet is a bit "uncle" and the watch needs polishing, but it is still extremely accurate and super comfortable to wear.  it has an impressive 100 hours power reserve for a ultra slim case!

blancpain is always technically good...
personally i never attracted by its classic design... compare to breguet, alange, un, ap... just personal was like i never like vc design...

this one is quite simple gd looking....

100 hrs PR. That's quite an achievement for such a slim watch. How is it done? Multiple barrels?

I believe it is twin barrels.  I quite like this watch as it is very accurate and has relatively long power reserve.  One interesting thing is that this watch changes date instantly at 12am on the dot whereas my Royal Oak and GO Pano change dates at 12:07am and 12:08am respectively. 

One thing I am thinking of doing is to change it to leather strap.  Would appreciate suggestions on where to change the Blancpain strap.

I think this can be tuned if you send it for back for service later... i mean jumping of date at midnight

Nice watch!

if i remember correctly the first diver watches was from Blancpain even earlier than Lolek's submariner??

[peanut]

I don't know if Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms was the first diver's watch but it is widely used by world wide military/naval divers and also was used by Jacques Cousteau in his ground breaking Le Monde du Silence.  For diver's watch, I will take BP FF over RolexSub any time.
