Frankly, it's everything I need in a watch wrapped up in a drop-dead gorgeous package
It wears very comfortably - and much smaller than the dimensions suggest. Switching between the FF and a sports Rolex is pretty seamless The build quality is outstanding - closely examining the watch with a loupe is a joy. Above all, I like the fact that just one watchmaker built it. Bear in mind that Blancpain produce the same amount of watches per year that Rolex churn out in a week...

Thanks Drew - the sun broke through just as I pressed the button, and I rather liked the effect!

A great watch, always been a stealth fan of the FF (previous and current incarnations)
I have a few Rolex itches to scratch and then at least one AP then the FF. So I am looking at 20 years from now if I am still married before I will have one on my wrist
