Photo Report: Recapping The HODINKEE Celebration of Blancpain's New NYC Boutique
On Wednesday night, HODINKEE was proud to welcome some of our readers into Blancpain's brand new Fifth Avenue boutique. You know, the one we showed you here. The official opening of the store won't happen for a few months (though doors are obviously open now), Blancpain invited HODINKEE to be the very first co-hosts of its new North American flagship. Read on for a photo report of the evening. 2 OF 47 What made Wednesday night special was that it was actually the very first time Blancpain showed its 2014 BaselWorld introductions to the public. This included several new pieces, but most notably the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Chronograph with brand-new high frequency F385 caliber. In fact, the very first one to leave Switzerland for sale was on offer that night. 3 OF 47 North American Brand Manager (and all around great guy) Adam Bossi welcomed guests and gave everyone a little taste about what makes his brand so special.

Deal on an Omega?
I am no expert on Omegas but this seems like a really good deal. It's not mine by the way. Had I not had a major expense in the last week I would have bought it..6speedonline/forums/s...d.php?t=132738Best Regards,Thomas Carey

Pre-owned BLNR from AD
Hey everyone, I went to the AD who helped me out with fake tt sub I bought on ebay. I told them I would like to buy a new watch from them, a BLNR. None in stock, but they had an excellent condition BLNR from 2014 for 8k. I was tempted but decided to go on the wait list. She told me it should be maybe a couple months. I was good with that but thought about turning around a few times on my way home, lol. Not many BLNRs out there, but I would love a brand new one for msrp, even if I have to wait a bit.What would you have done?
