Hi everyone.

Sold the sub-c date past week-end. After my 3rd sub, I figured out I needed something different with a little something to ice the cake but was debating between couple nice options. Lately there have been many very nice incomings especially on the AP side with some nice divers.

Badly fell in love with this beauty that I had to purchase after trying it the very first time. This thing is really underestimated in my opinion.

The finishing of the ceramic case is impeccable, the comfort of it for it's size is beyond belief and all the technology they gave this watch was beyond belief. To top it of, the see through caseback is letting you peak inside this new marvel they developed. The lume shot is after a quick 2 min outside with very cloudy sky and picture not even taken in full dark room, just with low light. I can't imagine after couple hours outside what it will be.

Enjoy some quick pics. Sorry, no incoming thread

Congrats this is a beautiful watch. Part of me like the traditional FF chrono look, but the case size is too big for me. This is a better size and I think a great under-the-radar watch that isn't afraid of a little water

Good looking watch that's for sure.

Thanks everyone, this is really an amazing piece. I just walked out with it on this beautiful day and the details on the dial are beautiful to say the least.

15mm thickness same like Fifty fathoms Chrono. Hardly notable due to back ceramic case. Love this piece. Wish they made curve lug look more nicer.

vipereaper30 · 4 September 2015, 02:44 AM

Yes my only gripe about the regular bathyscaphe is the sharp lugs. The watch is such a stunner though, it was what I purchased instead of a first Rolex. Now I'm looking for an Ocean Commitment chrono!

The lugs might be sharp but they never touch your skin of if they do, you don't feel it. I expected the crown to bite in my hand when I flex but it's not. I used to have a JLC navy seal and this was awful on how it was biting in my hand when flexing, one of the main reason of selling it.

This BP Cerami Chrono is wearing much smaller than the size it is. The comfort is also perfect for my 6.5 wrist size.

Lange1 · 4 September 2015, 03:32 AM

Same here I'm planning to get the ocean commitment after owned the ceramic Chrono but really hard to hand on also discount pretty tight. The straight lugs somehow making me consider again. Should I go or not.
