Dear Matthias, what a selection!

Since it’s quite diverse it’s not easy to compare, e.g. a white gold Villeret Quantieme Complet with a Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MilSpec 😉
Between the beauties shown I personally find the last three most compelling.
The Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MilSpec is simply an outstanding reiteration of a very significant historic icon. It is one of my all time favorites!
The grey ceramic Bathyscaphe with blue dial is a stunning watch, it changes its look with changing light conditions and is a bestseller in the Blancpain lineup for some very good reasons.
The white gold Villeret Quantieme Complet with blue dial is impressive and very nicely executed. During my photo session with this watch I massively enjoyed it and it was not easy to let it go.
The white dial Villeret in steel is a classic with a good size, it does not have the same extrovert presence the others have imho.
Last on my preference list from your selection is the Villeret with retrograde small seconds. To me this seconds indication is simply too hectic.
Now I am curious which is your favorite 😉
Cheers
Henrik

I've always admired the villeret and their dial layout for the calendar. V nice and proportional. The movement looks v well finished too. I think the 35mm would work pretty good on my wrist actually haha
Thank you so much!

Your photographs are absolutely stunning. I was amazed by the ref 6654 when I saw it for the first time on Blancpain's website. Your review of the watch has made the watch my "grail". It will be my next purchase.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer! I agree that the watches are not really comparable. I was actually looking for the full calendar and on that occasion they also showed me the other watches. So let me share my thoughts: Like you I found the Vill...
Beauties

Two beauties and superb watches The history of the Villerette line is visible and classical The ladies model might benefit from few more diamonds to distinguish it more from the white ladies sports watch like the bathyscape
