Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 3 Live Photos 🤿
Hello All!
Here is the comparison with my current FF (45mm) which is also thicker
Happy to share some live photos of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 3 !
I found the size to be perfect also not too thick vs the regular 45mm version that I own:

How do you like it ?

Looks beautiful! And so does your regular production version.
Personally, I would prefer an entirely black strap but that is purely my own preference. Is this at the boutique at Paradeplatz?
About the thick case and lugs, I can live with that, but way too expensive, in my opinion. I will detail this watch a bit later, when I have the time.
Not necessarily. Let's say that if it could come in steel or / and at a much more realistic price, and not at a " milked cow " price, then, it would be yes.
Nice design but quite bright, shiny, and GOLD
Some of that is the lighting, no doubt. But I'd guess it will look better with some time and patina.
As I said some days ago I like it. At that price I expected
a higher % of gold. I haven’t problems with those long and straight lugs but probably they’ll be a dealbreaker for many.
Like the size
Would prefer Ti5. Also seems a little splendy for bonze-gold 🤷♂️. Nice looking watch though
I like the regular model in the last shot way better! Thank you for sharing these so fast.
Thank you for the pictures!
Interestingly enough I asked the NY boutique if they have a display model that I could see and it turned out they didn't. I guess the assumption is that they would pre sell anyway so why bother.
I think the strap is terrible - trying too hard to match with the watch and flailing. Simple black would be way better. Also - one of the main points of this version is that it is thinner. Then why put it on a (cheap looking) nato strap which lifts it up on the wrist?!
Anyway, thankfully lugs are regular 20mm so that's solvable.
Whatever the material composition, the case looks bronze. I am not sure how I feel about that ... I think 10 years ago would have maybe felt unique, but now there are so many bronze watches on the market ...
And I am sorry but one can not ignore the price .... Almost double the one of the 70th anniversary from earlier in the year (which certainly looks like the more expensive watch of the two) in a 2.5x larger limited edition.
you are welcome !! I actually love the strap!! black would have been not a good fit for me!
Visually? Nice, so is a gold Panerai... other then that its an expensive moonSwatchpain
9KT? they are selling a 32K$ watch as a gold, not saying its not really gold... none of the other Swiss manufactures has gone so cheap....
No wonder BP is on Ecmo for quite some time...
Here you go…
… just got the confirmation that the finish is done by hand, as is the rotor. Both reminiscent of the vintage timepiece.
The photo, taken during the event, is not doing it justice.

I think this finish is perfect ! true to the original somehow and the hand decorated rotor is great ❤️
Well
The FF3 even though has a smaller case its lugs are very long, the watch on the nato strap sits higher on your wrist and the lugs seem to protrude over on either sides of your wrist. The lugs also are parallel to the watch so they seem too high in relation to your wrist.
Your Blancpain however even though has a bigger case, it’s thinner bezel creates a more harmonious dial imho, the lugs are also very important and in this case they are shorter and downward curving, creating the effect that the watch hugs your wrist, it looks more in unity and in proportion with your wrist event though it’s a bigger watch
That’s my impression at least from the beautiful and informative photos that you so kindly sent us all.
