I also really love this watch, but I'd like a watch on a bracelet if I am going to drop so much money on a watch. Any reason you opted for the sailcloth strap rather than the bracelet? I especially liked the X-70 bracelet which they don't provide as an option anymore.

I actually got this gray market used from the famous Nakano Broadway area in Japan so I was able to snag this for a steep discount around $12,000 CAD. I didn't see any models with bracelets and for the price I couldn't resist picking one up with the sail cloth band.

The metal bracelet does look amazing though so I'm probably going to try getting one in the future so I can mix it up. Do you know if Blancpain directly sells them if I went to an AD or boutique, or would I have to search used?
