I actually liked the Frogman as well, but way too big for my wrists unfortunately. From the brief glimpses I got from Deployant, I actually think Blancpain did very well this year...Barakuda, Frogman, Villeret AC.

Did you see the new LE FF Chronographs? They look really nice to be honest. I don’t really dig diver chronos but they look well done.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love sunburst blue and green dials (which explains why I still love my hulk so much) |

Forgot about the chronos. I’m with you, not traditionally a diver chrono guy...but they look awesome. Can’t wait to finally get some in depth analysis and more pics tomorrow morning. I think I heard the embargo lifts 8am Zurich time?

The more I look at it and read about it, the more I love that Air Command.

They all look pretty good to me. The pricing is a bit high, but I guess they think they can do that by calling them all LEs.
I really wish the air command would of had 100M water resistance. Not sure it beats the JLC Deep Sea Chrono with 30M |

I know where you can land it for a very nice price It will be for some that’s for sure. I think if you can stand the 60th speedy you can stand this.

Thoughts on Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

I like the releases but not enough to get a third Blancpain. Somewhat releaved actualy. If they released a smaller (standard) FF i would have gone for it which would create a redundancy issue since i already have the mil-spec.
