Thoughts on these two, is the only significant difference the size? Is the 45mm too large, given / compared to the 40mm smaller option? Is bezel color different, or same just dependent on lighting? 45mm — 5015B-1130-52A Fifty Fathoms 40mm — Blancpain 5008
Hello dear friends! I’m happy to share this watch captured just a couple of days. The Blancpain FF has been haunting my horological soul for many many long years and last week I had the unexpected chance to get this piece. I know the most coveted variants
Have the X-70 on a Leman. What an amazing bracelet. Thinking about finally getting a FF (traditional, non bathy). Curious how people feel about a strap or bracelet on these models?
Own one, or thinking about acquiring a Blancpain Bathyscaphe? Which one, send images? Did you or would you choose over the Fifty Fathoms models with the wide, domed and very shiny sapphire-covered bezel , or Rolex Submariner? Please share thoughts! * Imag
