If between those two with those four in the stable, the Bathyscape for sure. Very cool watch that will diversify your set much more than another SS Rolex sports watch with rotating bezel.

After looking at your collection I am inclined to say you have enough divers. both are AWESOME watches though and it depends on your lifestyle and if you have a use for the GMT complication. Personally? I prefer the plain jane fifty fathoms. I'm voting GMT master on the poll though because the bathy does not appeal to me.

Well, a few thoughts to echo what Cru and some of the others have said...
The BP would bring about some diversity, but do you need another diver or the GMT function? Just a question of what you're looking for. |

Depends, looks like you're the type to want to collect like a matching set, in which case the BLNR would fit right in with your current set and really complement the other Rolexes. I personally would like as much variety as possible, and the Bathyscaphe would give you a new brand and just a completely different feel even though it's another diver. The Bathyscaphe is my current favorite diver... so that's my answer.

I'd go BLNR, the Bathyscape is a little flat for me, prefer the FF but wish it was 42mm.

I voted BLNR because I like it better of the two but after seeing the others in your collection, go with the BP.

If you're collecting divers then it has to be the Blancpain.

IMHO, the BLNR would add more diversity to your existing collection:
1.) Not a black diver 2.) Little splash of blue 3.) GMT function 4.) Polished center links Both great watches and hard to go wrong with either, but for the reasons mentioned above, I would go BLNR. |

Oh, tough one!!! Normally I would say BLNR all day long but I would have to say the Blancpain based on your appetite for divers. Beautiful collection BTW!!!
