Blancpain

Here is the new model. I do not particularly love it, but I will reserve my final impressions until after seeing it in real life. Note that all versions are available with a NATO strap or bracelet. What is most disappointing is the lack of micro-adjustmen...  

Which is .3 more than the standard Bathyscaphe. Nothing crazy, but it isn't slim.

I don’t love the complications - a bit too busy for me. Esp on a dive watch. But I like the blue color on the dial. Would be interested in seeing it in person.

$8k up charge if I read correctly. Do they fit prior ceramic references?

But the price is not good!!

Likely not in the cards for me!!

But like Nicolas said, if you really really want it then go for it.

Tough pill for me to swallow for a bracelet, the first Royal Oak I bought was 11k the 15400. When I bought the Rolex Sub Hulk it was around 8k new at retail, about the price of this bracelet.

9 miles per gallon average!!!!

So paying for another watch 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Given your desire for ceramic, and clear appreciation for larger watches, how come you’ve never taken the Hublot for a spin? I’ve tried a few of those versions on, and I quite like them. Blue, Green. Pretty cool.

I have tried them on and they don’t sing to me…

Honestly I thought Hublot put in much more effort to redesign the Big Bang Unico and (re)launched it as the Big Bang Integrated. The intro of a full ceramic bracelet is just a quick jump on the bandwagon

It’s light, very scratch resistant, you can practically use it doing nearly any sport without thinking about the horrible scratches you are going to make and also decrease the value of the watch if you plan on selling it in the future. I think that’s what...
