I can’t wait to read about it!! 😃

Since I still haven't completely given up calling this watch my own at some point (it fascinates me a lot!):

Can you deal in your post with how much the watch can really be used as an all-rounder?
The two watchmakers I asked at my AD were, thank God, sincere to me and said that in the end it is a delicate watch with high repair costs if the worst comes to the worst.

My feeling is that the watch is more robust and more suitable for everyday use than most other tourbillons. And I like my watches to be worn.

Are you going to write something about this topic? What does Blancpain say about all of this?

I would be really interested in that.

I haven't found much on the Internet except for an article where a “tough dog” 😎 really used the watch for regular diving.

Cheers
Thomas

… albeit with a different aperture on the dial 😉 I thoroughly enjoy this Fifty Fathoms Tourbillon 8 Jours, if only for a photo session. Cheers Henrik ...  

Wow, that we don’t see everyday!

The concept of a diving watch combined with a Tourbillon and a PR of 8 days is from fascinating to … crazy. I love this watch!! And it has no date!! 😊 What stopped me besides the price (you get FOUR of my new FF in RG with blue ceramic dial for this): I p...

I have read your thoughts about the FF Tourbillon in your blog with great interest. And I have to admit, you messed up this marvel for me a little bit 🥴 because you confirmed what I had already researched for myself. Despite all the technical precautions,... 

P.S.: BUT….

But after sleeping the whole night, I'm not sure if you can permanently spoil my appetite for this watch. 😎 I'm still very interested because this FF Tourbillon 8 Jours is probably still more robust and more wearable in everyday life than most other tourb... 

Amazing timepiece….

Well said!! 😊

Wow! You own this marvel…

May I ask you about your personal experiences? Do you wear yours on a regular basis or do you treat it like a raw egg? Your first hand informations would be extremely valuable and helpful to me. Many thanks in advance Thomas

I do...

Wear it in a multitude of situations. I’ll happily wear it daily it with no issues, clearly not for sports etc but I’m not wrapping it in cotton wool either. That said I would wear it in the water if I was wearing it in that situation. It’s a great watch ... 

Thank you, dear KM,
