Incoming! 2nd Blancpain...

After posting an incoming a few days ago for the BP FF blue dial in titanium case (which I wrongly placed in the watch review section ) this Bathyscaphe chronograph arrived yesterday. I actually had this reference a few years ago on a sailcloth strap but unfortunately had it stolen. Anyway, the pusher feel is fantastic. I love the dial, which really pops when the sun hits it just right. And the bracelet...WOW! Heavy (in a good way) solid as a tank and beautifully executed. A very satisfying watch indeed....

Congratulations. The Fifty Fathoms looks best on a metal bracelet. Superb that X70 fitted on the Bathyscape.

Congratulations. I have always admired the watches but have limited experience with them as I do not have a retailer any where close. The bracelet is nice.
