Blancpain

A new FF line is making its way to the surface… Looks awesome and Blancpain is sure to score a slam dunk on these… Congratulations to Miss Capozzola for her recognition. Eager to learn more, and see what else will be released. Great weekend to all, Alex ...  

...I'm sure she won't disappoint : )

I'm amazed that they still had to cram in the date (window). Just leave it out. Especially with so many numerals already on the dial.

Always look good. It remembers me about the bakelite Rolex bazel’s, albeit that look different. Both worth to collect and to enjoy.

Taste can differ. Such a nice watch. Better than any cold watch. But ok, i am a typical guy that loves everything that have it’s roots from Villeret. A Swatch group fan either. A barok guy. History lover. A Fifty Fathoms lover.

Anyway i hope they start to make medium sized fifty fathom (37-40 mm) which is NOT a limited edition. The bathyscaphe 38 mm was the only regular production in that size range, if i am not mistaken

42mm would be great for many wrists.

More than only one model. I put one specific BP on my wishlist. A 41,5 FF. The desert diver. After viewing the watch on the BP website. Good news for the readers, the dial is without the flamboyant numerals.

I think it is good news in the end because it shows Blancpain reaching for a wider audience (women with this specific watch), but alongside that premise, a 41-42mm non limited could not be too far away…. Having said that, as the proud owner of a 5015, one... 

Great reply Alex. I said i have the ff desert on the eye. The watch is almost ok. The rough polishing and sharp edges is i think part of the watch. Should divers prefer that kind of sharpness? Be honest i not wore a wetsuit, but i can imagine a dive watch... 

… looks to me like an iteration of the 40mm FF with a dial that might be blue colorised Mother of Pearl? Eager to learn more about what seems to be a new standard collection model. Cheers Henrik
