Fifty Fathoms bezel hard to turn
I just received my Rose Gold Fifty Fathoms Flyback from service a few weeks ago and now the bezel is very hard to turn.
If feels like there is gum or glue in the bezel mechanism. Anyone experience this before?
P.S. I love this watch. Even in brushed rose gold it is under the radar but beautiful. I wish they came out with a rose gold bracelet for this watch.

Nice FF!
I think I am going to send it back in for Blancpain to take a look at. It felt perfect when I first got it back from service; however after a few weeks it's just stuck and feels like gum is in it.
The foundation of a dive watch
The first serious dive watch. Not only for enthusiasts, even professionals must think first if they need a dive watch, BP FF is the one to wear. A bazel is very important and must be used, a tool that must work fine. BP boutique personal must take a compl...
I will definitely send it back in for follow up service. Thanks for the advice!
Also I will switch out the steak for the Blancpain sailcloth strap.
What happened?
Hi, can you let me know what happened after you sent in your watch to Blancpain? I'm having the same issue now with my Bathyscaphe. What did they say was the issue? Did they replace any parts? Did they charge you and how long did it take for them to resol...
