Visited the AD today (+update of rubber strap)

Oct 15, 2021,06:21 AM
 

Took a drive to Sydney city to see Blancpain pieces in my favourite AD (Shum’s Watches and Jewellery).


I’ve never tried on the FF, and it melted my heart away. My wrist is 17cm, same as Amanico’s wrist size I recall. The standard FF fits well. 










Bought the FF rubber strap for my bathyscaphe, and a green canvas strap too. I recalled some members asking about the wrist size allowance of the original rubber strap - it fits a 17cm wrist on the last hole, so anything less than that, will not fit. Will post a pic another day, when I swap it over.

Here is a pic of my bathyscaphe on the green canvas strap:

That blue dialed FF, in the titanium case material, is a formidable offering. Now if they downsize it to 40mm and offer it as a regular production…👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

Agreed on the size.

All of the 5015 FF’s are amazing in every aspect

Although out of trend, I still feel the black SS is THE classic modern FF and an icon in its own right.

I like the classic black version the most

The weight difference between the titanium blue and the classic version is negligible. The classic version looks military.

👍🏻

That piece is really hard to find. You are blessed Fastwong. Sorry for some of my posts…Cookies is facing some hard times now about his existence in place far away from Home. I need to zip my writing, and focus on the good in people and make people smile ... 

Thanks! It was an unexpected and lucky opportunity that popped up.

Maybe I missed something but I didn't see any posts worth apologizing for? In fact, for the last few weeks I've felt like I've been just a week or two behind you in the Bathyscaphe shopping process and have been enjoying following your posts. Heck, I even... 

Thanks Fastwong

Cool one, my friend.

Your Bathyscaphe looks awesome with the green canvas on it. I really like the FF too. The blue dialled is my favourite.

Thank you Jari

I wish you a most wonderful weekend ahead.=D The blue versions bezel has a certain “mysterious” quality to it. I cannot stop looking at it, because the blue and the lume colours really complement each other, in a congruent gentle way, it is so pleasing to...

You can’t go wrong with any of these...

And I love the Bathyscaphe. Some think it is too minimal, I think it has great character. Looks great on your wrist!
