The Blancpain collab was not as successful as the Speedy, but in reality it was never going to be as there was no “baseline, OG” version in the lineup, and the brand and model is not as well-known outside of watch circles as the Speedy is. They corrected that later, with the “Moon” one, but it was an afterthought. It also suffered from being the second drop, so the hype was lower. I also think they look bad and wear terribly, because I have eyes and a watch-wearing wrist, but that’s by-the-by.

I agree, and I appreciate the discussion. Passion is great, but you do need to get paid. It’s the same in any industry, the race to the bottom is real.
