I suppose that wouldn't bother me. Just don't go crazy like Omega with 50 different Speedmaster special editions.

100% agree.

Would try hard to get one if there was no date. Will pass even though I still think it’s a nice watch with the date.
Definitely without

Also take out the humidity indicator and BP will have another sale! Cheers, John
That would work :)

In reality, just offer a regular BP in 40-42mm, sans date, and with sensible thickness...
Huge improvement with minimal effort!

I think the dial is the main appeal of this watch, there is no reason to poke a hole in it. For me there are two more issues that are more obvious in person than in pictures - the case is too thick relative to its diameter, the same for the bezel which ma...
Without date

Why BP insists on that angled date indicator year after year, SMH? And who needs to know the date when you are in/under water? 🤷♂️
Without, no doubt.

And if the case could be the one they used for the 50th Anniversary edition, even better. Best, Vte

You don’t need to know the date underwater (very often)
If I may add to your composition, your sirness:

1. Bezel should not have the graduations in the first 15 minutes. Should be plain 2. Case should be brushed 3. Humidity indicator pink or light blue instead of orange This would be a killer imo. All the very best, Alex
Sure no date would be nice...

But quite pleased with the watch anyway! Then again, I am a total Blancpain FF newbie and when I first saw the announcement of this piece, I decided to jump right in and become a new owner. I just wish they had an easier method for changing straps. In any...
OT question
By: claes_t : March 28th, 2018-01:31
In the tribute, does the moisture indicator actually work, or is it purely for show?
From a purity and a historical standpoint...
By: shortys home : March 28th, 2018-04:46
... no date would be perfect. However, it is a modern interpretation, other than the Omega Trilogy 1957 watches it is not meant to exactly replicate the original. A modern dive watch is often more an everyday watch, so for me it works with date - it still...

As an owner of a Mil Spec, I'd be pretty annoyed if Blancpain released another version without a date. I'd sell mine and never buy another limited edition watch from them.

doesnt matter
By: wilhal_18 : May 7th, 2018-08:56
They both look fabulous. amazing watch really. Now, will blancpain give us 40mm ff? they already released 38mm Bathy. so ff50 is incoming? moreover, the watch was released since 2007. the upgrade is impending.
Looks good

With the editing. One other thing...prefer a brushed finish versus a polished finish. An FF should be more understated and less bling, just like how tool watches are meant to be.
I vote ‘date’!
By: pulp84 : July 4th, 2018-00:38
I’m going to be in the minority and say I prefer with the date. I think it’s functional and I like the splash of asymmetry it gives to the dial. I completely understand the ‘no date’ camp though!
