Blancpain

… as to which diver was first. There have been many articles stating Blancpain FF before Rolex Sub. But told Rolex Sub was presented to the public in May 1954 at the Basel fair, compared to Blancpain patent below dated after. Or does it really not matter

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

An " Ex " which I traded for another vintage Fifty Fathoms. Quite cool looking, isn't it? Best, Nicolas

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?

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec Hodinkee Edition Reference: 5008 11B30 NABA or… Blancpain Fifty Fathoms No Rad Limited Edition REF 5008D-1130-B64A

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

The more I like it. Just wish they have an extra strap option.

HAGWE everyone and Happy Lunar New Year 🧧

I wish it was as warm outside as it is inside! All the best, my friends, Tony
