    Fifty Fathoms

    Just trying some experimental shots of my Blancpain. I’ll be wearing this one all week. Bracalet is a pig to alter but once done fits like a glove! All the best

    I'm not a fan of the whole 'grail' thing, but if I did, this would be mine. The wife has always said for my 40th I'll get one, but I'll believe it when I see it... It's a stunner - glad to hear the bracelet is comfy - does it have a micro-adjustment?

    No micro-adjustment on it or the Bathyscaphe one.

    Recently tried one on; it's a very nice watch, particularly fine dial. Sadly, for me,it felt too big for my wrist.

    How do you find wearing it on the bracelet as opposed to the sailcloth? I have a hankering to try my ff on the bracelet but am cautious with the cost, and am not sure if it is for me. My experience points me towards Rolex on bracelet, PAM on leather, and maybe nato for the summer. Just not sure with the ff.

    Looks good on the bracelet, not a fan of sailcloth straps.

    See, for that watch - Sailcloth just looks right (to me)

    Conversely - the sea dweller and submariner look better on bracelet.

    My Bathyscape bracelet is one of the most comfortable and well made that I own.
    I've never had the need for any micro- adjustment.

    That's fabulous, definitely prefer that FF on bracelet to the sailcloth.

    Yeah with you there. It looks too samey on the bracelet to me.

    The bezel on its own for me could sit in an art gallery
