INCOMING.... Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe

Driving home with it now :). It is 43mm and my wrist is 7”. It fits perfect and does not wear large at all. The brushed dial is nothing short of superb, the detail and waynthebdialnchanges based on how the light hits it, with the perfect brushed strokes outward from the middle, it is by far, in my opinion the most impressive dial of any of the watches in my collection and beats out the AP tappisiere dial, my Patek dials, and VC tappisiere dial. The detail and craftsmanship of the dial is something that it’s be appreciated in person, I tried my best to take photos showing it.

Congratulations. It’s a great watch. I bought the black dial ceramic version a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. Enjoy it

I absolutely love this. It’s opened my eyes to Blancpain beyond the FF and now I’m looking at their other offerings.

I agree. I was going back and forth between a FF and an AP Diver and it was no competition.
