Sorry to hear!
That is highly unfortunate. I have to say, of all the watches I've owned Rolex, JLC, Panerai etc the ONLY one that has never given me any issues are my Rolex sport watches.

How robust is the FF Fifty Fathoms?
My divers have always been Rolex, mostly because they are so robust and bomb proof. I can't take my eyes off the FF though but I' a bit concerned about the reliability. A close friend has a BP which is about to go back for service for the second time in l...

Very Robust Patrick
I have personally owned one and they are extremely robust the FF but not the Chrono, as for there service this is Pathetic
Can you elaborate on the bad service?
Also, how much is a normal CLA for a BP diver? $500? $800? Thanks!
Gladly
When a watch company doesnt respond to your countless emails is an indication how good there service firstly, they are known for there poor aftersales service, my experience came from the top as well M Hayek, so if its at the top what chance have you got ...

How robust is the FF Fifty Fathoms?
Interestingly enough, I'm sitting here at home this morning wondering what to do with my FF which has just stopped running. I wonder if Blancpain will show me goodwill or charge for a repair? We shall soon see! David
Update
Just got my estimate thru from Blancpain - £716.86!!! To repair a high-end quality watch which has failed catastrophically after just over two years of wear (very occasional wear). I find this extraordinary - only beaten by the fact that the repair will t...
