Wanted to share my Blancpain

Hello all

Wanted to show off this watch I picked up like 6 months ago. Blancpain Leman Flyback. It’s a 38mm case like 10-11mm thick. Uses a FP1185 movement modified by Blancpain to add the flyback complication and the 6 o’clock date. This watch is stunning in photos the case and dial have so much detail. It wears very nicely (if you like smaller watches) I find it pretty unique because it is sized and detailed like a dress piece but has screw down crown and pushers. Couldn’t be happier, you can find these at great prices it is very good bang per buck. Mine is mint like must have been in a safe of something it could pass as bnib.

Very nice and beautiful! I have been thinking of getting a Leman Flyback for some time too. Right now, I am happy with my Flyback and GMT, but soon. Where did you get the Blancpain cap? Looks cool.

A guy I know through a FB watch group sent it to me recently. It is a really comfortable hat

Congratulations. I've always really liked the looks and size of that watch. It was a good value new with the typical Blancpain discount and pre-owned it's an even better value. Your sample sounds like a great one. Enjoy it.

yes i agree 38mm is a good size. with the traditional looks of that watch dial layout and numerals i think anything larger would look pretentious and cheap.

Congrats! 38mm is, for me at least, the perfect size. It's a looker, too.

Beautiful chrono and impossible to match at its current price point. I’ve owned mine for over a decade and appreciate the renewed interest in this model. Bracelet is built like a tank as well.
