Yep, Fifty Fathoms. Now there is a watch that you do not want to look at TR! Or you will sell your Subs and Panerais both to buy! LOL The watch the Sub was designed after. And the new FF with it's 45mm size, super lumination, sapphire bezel, in house 5 day auto movement and anti-magnetic case, and sail cloth strap is a very impressive watch. Plus, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms probably has the most Military History out of any Dive watch out there, plus many Oceanic expeditions under it's belt!

But, again, I say be content with your 2 subs, your Rolex your Father gave you (the one I would never ever sell) and your 2 Panerais. More than you ever could need. Look at how fortunate you are to just have those. Most people in your country make less in a year than what one of those watches cost. Now go out and get those watches scratched up and dinged up on some adventures. All the Panerais and Rolex watches you have well stand up well to abuse, and look even better with some scrathes! The watches are made for diving, trekking, and exploring!
