I prefer the JLC. The design is more appealing to me.

Captain Kirkwood · 30 September 2011, 02:09 AM

I agree with others on a FF non-chrono. Otherwise the JLC.

That's my ultimate preference in the FF line-up, the non-chrono.

FF no-chrono looks awesome.

One of my favorites.

FeelingTheBlues · 30 September 2011, 02:14 PM

Blancpain...as mentionned before the JLC's pushers aren't my style...

blackmsport · 30 September 2011, 08:21 PM

I d choose blancpain

aboen · 1 October 2011, 08:20 AM

the BP FF sport and JLC NSA....Love both but love the FF more.

kilyung · 1 October 2011, 08:44 AM

The BP FF just looks so much classier whereas the JLC looks bad ass (not sure that I ever imagined myself saying a JLC looks bad ass!).

WOW !! nice !! Thanks for the pictures !

RBR76 · 1 October 2011, 02:40 PM

I would go for the 50 Fathoms anytime.

Like the Submariner, the Blancpain is a legend among the diving watches.

Aivas47a · 1 October 2011, 02:57 PM

I love JLC as a brand and most of the great things they do, but the Navy Seals was a mistake for them IMO. It's a piece that's all about showy marketing, whereas JLC is beloved for horological expertise and a quietly understated image. My $.02.

x2

+no chronos.

but

two massive watches, probably some wrist test drives will sort you out quick.

Psmith · 3 October 2011, 11:09 AM

Blancpain

travisb · 3 October 2011, 08:56 PM

But in this case I'd go for the FF. Nice!

Power Play · 5 October 2011, 03:10 AM

The FITTY.
Fo sho. Not even close. On my wish list, too.....

tudorlex · 5 October 2011, 03:31 AM

BP non chrono.

But its too big a watch for me. Would love to see BP offering this in a 40 mm & change the red tip 2nds hand to black or matching the other hands. Omega do a lot of this red tipped 2nds hands. I dont get it.

Anyone able to post a pic of BP's 40mm GMT?

asadtiger · 8 October 2011, 11:06 PM

my vote is FF in this case(pun intended :) ) and comparison, like almost everyone else :)

just a suggestion: try the FF chrono on its amazing bracelet...it not only feels great but I think the look is also better

the non-chrono being very functional,classic look, works well on the strap, IMHO.

but unlike most people, though I am a huge fan of the non-chrono too, but the FF chrono looks equally good to me
