Two very different approach to divewatches !

Jan 22, 2023,15:06 PM
 

As much as you can’t miss with a Sub, I find the FF Bathyscaphe 5100B very attractive, mainly for its size (38mm) which is convenient for my small wrist and makes the watch more versatile overall imo.
The sapphire caseback and the brushed steel are both also to my liking.

Undecided at this time, but have taken quite a liking to these two. ...  

Hi, Ted! For a number of reasons..

I have the good fortune of having both the 5015 classic in steel and the Bathyscaphe in 38mm with grey dial. The Bathyscaphe has become my most worn watch since I got it in May of 2022. It is just super comfortable, love the case design, super legible, an...  

So very nice!

Can you tell me the reference number of the 38mm with grey dial you have?

Thx again, wondering if I can wear 38mm

What size wrist do you have? Does the 38mm Bathy run big or small lug to lug? Really appreciate your feedback!

My wrist is anywhere between 16 and 16.5cm, depending on the weather and how much my alcohol and sodium intake has been. LOL! I find it wears true to size, but long as far as lug to lug. One trick I’ve come to do is wear it on a nato strap and maybe a bra...

I own the titanium bathyscaphe, and I wear it on the NATO strap. Fantastic watch. I am blessed to own some beautiful watches, and this is my favorite. Let me count the ways … 1/ High contrast hands on a brushed dial. 2/ Date window without a cyclops 3/ Be...

Recently got this limited edition Bathyscaphe from 2019 (Hodinkee collaboration). I always admired the Bathyscaphe and couldn't resist seeing one in a size I like so much. I do also have a submariner (LV). ...  

Thanks, really like that one!

Think I am going for 43mm as it seems to fit me better.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I have a feeling this won't be my last Blancpain.

I have one as well. Cheers!

Great wearable size. Clean dial and a nice view on the case back.
