Also the hands on the Mil Spec are so basic and boring. They add nothing to the design. I understand why BP used them but I grew to dislike them. Same with the hour markers. I prefer the regular FF markers on the dial. Lastly the moisture sticker looks like a cheap sticker and therefore gimmicky. If anyone ever see me trying to sell my FF you have my permission to smack me.

As an owner of mil spec for a couple of months, I do agree with your comment! It’s a bit on the boring side and I certainly prefer a regular FF hands and markers more. Unfortunately my wrist is smaller at around 6inch. As for now, Mil Spec movement, accuracy and finishing quality is just outstanding!
Will I keep it for now? For sure. I might sell it later, but I don’t know how much hit I can expect, I have find Blancpain is really for a nich market.
