I do wonder though what if anything would be different now if BP had made the bracelet the default config and thrown the sailcloth in as an accessory. BP had the ultimate steel sports watch in 2007 but I think it was left behind a bit during the recent hype cycle for lack of a bracelet (not saying that's a bad thing). Sure, the x71 exists but it's like a bigfoot sighting for the average buyer - I've still never seen one in person. I remember going into the Blancpain NYC boutique a few years ago prepared to retire the Sea Dweller that day and the boutique not only didn't have a bracelet to try but they had trouble just digging up a picture.
Love my BP but I bet it would get more wrist time if there was a titanium bracelet for it
