At least that seems to be the common opinion.
However, lately I have felt more and more interested in wearing a sports watch in RG.
Since I already own two Panerais and still not a Blancpain (although I have been playing with the thought for a long time now!) two models from the Fifty Fathoms series aroused my particular interest.
The stunning Ref. 5015 3603C 63B with its wonderful blue ceramic dial:
and the Ref. 5015 3603C 63B (the „classic“ RG variant):
(I got both pics from the official website of Blancpain)
In the past, large tool watches in RG would have come across for me as intrusive, flashy, showy,..
In the meantime, a coloured gold watch case exerts a special attraction to me which I threaten to succumb more and more. Maybe I'm just getting old???
As soon as my AD is allowed to reopen (due to the current lockdown, all shops are closed until April 18th in Austria) I'll have a look at these two models. My AD ordered them for me without obligation.
So: when I have seen both watches in the flesh and have been able to put them on my wrist I will report my impressions and feelings to you with joy.
Cheers
Thomas
