Not sure I like 100% yet. Certainly interesting and it is nice that they have brought back some classics - like that Air Command Chrono

Another beautiful 40mm from Blancpain.
I'm disappointed that the 40mm Tribute to Milspec has not been repped yet.

Supposedly the reason is that with one case set they cannot make more models (like with the 45mm) but at least now they could make two :)

repping the 40 case would open new models, it's a shame none exists

I like this one more than the Fifty Fathoms. At 40mm it is better balanced for most wrist sizes too. Definitely a rep possibility I would think.

@ 40mm its an awesome fit. I'd also love it if someone did the Bathy in 38mm....that classic size is perfect for that watch...the Bathy @ +43mm is just too much for most to pull off :(

I actually quite enjoy this one, for a variety of reasons. I'd be very interested in trying this one on. But I think it's too small for my wrist.
