Seems like titanium is the new popular thing for brands to experiment with and they feel like they can ask anything they want ''yeah but it's titanium''. I love the Omega Seamaster in titanium but the watch now costs around 11k euro. That's a ridiculous a...
Like the look
but remember looking at the blue 36mm in the window of the Bond St store and thinking how small those sub-dials look in a 36mm case and with the bezel there is less dial to place them.
Agreed. I like the looks of both
versions but think, based on the photographs, the dial proportions of the 42mm variant are more fortunate. Cheers Marc
Honestly one of my favorite designs...
I wonder what these will settle at used. If they come down like other Blancpain, then I'll be a buyer/
Yes! If only they would make it 100m WR as Breguet did with the new Type 20...
... then it would be a killer and crisis-proof as the dial does NOT show '1735' 😈 Cheers, Alex
I prefer this green to the blue
BP did a great job with this dial. Pricing is a bit over what it should be in my opinion however
