I started on my blancpain journey a couple of months back with a couple of dsn builds but I wanted something else,
I found a couple of Vietnam cases and as 1701 movements with blancpain branding and hunted down the parts I wanted/needed,
The end result is this ,
Thanks to tripdog for trimming the dsn bezel inserts to fit, my attempts ended up not being very round.
