2 months ago I was being invited to a Breguet/Blancpain. Honestly, I never gave much thought to those brands before (well...maybe except Breguet old Marine Big Data.. love it).
Anyway tried on Bancpain standard FF, 45mm.. Just so thick and big on me.. Until a few days ago, tried on my friend's BOC III (40mm).. Love it~~ Put me in a hard position, my AD actually got me one just a few weeks ago but I declined because my cash is a bit tight these days. I could have flipped my PP 5164 travel time and make some nice profit..
BUT, it's my first Patek and one of the best GMT!

Anyway, AD sold it to someone else in the afternoon.. Not sure if it was a stupid decision?! (it's like decline to buy a Daytona at a MSRP these days).

40mm really grows in me, and I may prefer 2017 Mil Spec more.. Still possible to get it? Or pre owned so I no need to worry about resale value?

Or wait til next year, because my friend said it's likely they would do 40mm more.. Worth to buy one of those limited edition, eg BOC???
