Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, what a Diver...

First layed eyes on the Fifty Fathoms back in 2010. Never got around buying one, but today I did.

Wow what a piece. Just amazing in everyway. The finish, the saphire bezel... The LUME! Amazing.

Not really Buddy.

Trying some new pieces... Not sure if it will stay long. But it's an awesome watch!

The supermodel of dive watches, which still retains the military vibe of the original.

Incredible bezel and lume I agree, and even better on the bracelet for me.

Welcome to the club, BP FF is a really special watch, a real keeper with tons of history.

I have mine for almost 6 months, it gets the most wear time, sometimes i even sleep with it :)
