Hands-On: With The Blancpain Villeret Tourbillon Squelette 8-Day In Platinum (PLUS: You're Invited To Celebrate Blancpain's New Boutique With Us!)
While perusing the wares of the brand new Blancpain boutique on Fifth Avenue a few weeks back, I stumbled across this guy here.

Milgauss daily beater
I would love to hear who uses a (blue dial) Milgauss as a daily beater for more than a year. Preferibly guys with smaller wrists (I have 6 1/4 inch). Do you still like it? Is the dial still as spectacular to look at as in the beginning? Do you feel comfortable wearing it with short sleeves? Pictures please? Is the thickness of the case an issue for you?

Question for Deep Blue owners...
Im just curious...For those of you who own the JC version of the DeepSea, would you have ever considered the original Black Dial version...Or was the JC the only one you would one...
