Some Thoughts on Approaching a Blancpain Flyback Chrono - Input Appreciated

[Gcnlm995]

I would love to brainstorm with the Franken brains on this one. I have a flyback chrono Dial obtained from EBay:

. The reps are few and far btwn but those that exist are not true to spec (38mm). However I noticed there are a number of watches that seem almost direct copies. I post a Raymond Weil gen. But equally the zenith el primerio which is repped.

. I’m not sure where this will end up maybe nowhere (I paid little for the dial and can resell it if needed) but I’d love to take a crack at a good Blancpain flyback chrono Franken. Many thx for your ideas!

is it a datewindow at the 6 marker on your dial? if so, that might me trouble because there is also a subdial there

Probably would work with an LWO?

A movement that fits. I think the correct reference is LWO 283. You could of course look for a F. Piguet 1185, but I think you´d need some luck(and more funds) to get one. On the other hand you would have the "same" movement as the gen.

random aside (I’m not a raging feminist ... promise) but WTF is this? What would a women’s watch box look like by contrast?

Funny. Got the answer. Looks like a 50% discount.

It means you can fit a man inside it.

@Rabbagasten have you seen any reps around or have any thoughts on cases other than those tossed out above?

I think it would just have one space. For an Apple Watch lol. Ok. Maybe 2
