Blancpain

Went in Search of a Polaris, returned with a Fifty Fathoms....forgive the wrist shot, I cut out as much of werewolf-esque curse as much as possible & let the watch do the talking! I found the Polaris, despite being hugely attractive horologically, less appealing aesthetically than the FF, the Blancpain on the side of the case is very cool....worn it for five days now and despite a little rattle, maybe a loose rotor, it's been great, subtle despite its size and really solid. Enjoy...I certainly am.

I love both of them, the Pola and the FF.

Even if oth of them are Diving Watches they play on a different ground.

The Pola is a re edition, while the Blancpain is a re interpretaiton ( strongly inspired ) of a Myth.

The FF is a very nice watch, and to say all, I will end my FF Collection with this one.

The Ceramic bezel gives it an elegant, maybe precious look, too.

Huge congrats!

Best,

Nicolas

Congratulations on your new acquisition, wear in good health.

I have a FF Chrono that I am very happy with, pleasent to wear and just very attractive.  The was no way you could go wrong with such a choice.

To tell you the truth when I discovered the Polaris (already having the FF) I thought that it was so great that when I found one I just bought it. I liked the combination dress and diving watch.

Your opinion is true, it's one of those weird things that the FF spoke to me more....I really enjoy wearing my watches, I would feel almost guilty when, not if, I scratched the plexi!

I have it for several month and I like it. I love the size and weight of it too! But the strap is too big for my small wrist?

Suggestion: change it.

See it the rubber strap will fit better or have a custom one made.  There are tons of small strap manufactors out there.

Could try a Nato strap too. Don't know where to find one of those though.

This would also give you a reason to go out and buy the Blancpain stap changing kit that goes with the watch. I'm sure that you always wanted to buy it.

Regards,
