    Hmm a stylish daily beater... not sure about that, but would be interested to see it in the flesh. I had the steel version and did find it a little top heavy, so the titanium may solve that. But I am not sure whether it will feel less special

    It is nice, but is the price near £12k? Out of my price range for sure!

    It's a FF, so will inevitably be beautiful. However - and without seeing it - I'm not sure abut the classic auto in titanium. There'll no doubt be plenty of takers for it, though.

    I've had the blue dial titanium version for about 9 months, the weight saving makes it more wearable then ever. It really is a superb watch. I love the case colour versus it's steel cousins.

    Just wish they were smaller, always feel to large for my wrist.

    That blue version looks lovely, got any 'real life' pics? I prefer my titanium seamaster over the 2254 due to the weight saving

    Sure. Here are a couple. I have 6.7" wrists so not the biggest but love the FF despite its 45mm size. The short lugs help.

    The blue dial one is gorgeous, I tried it when in Edinburgh. Ti is a lovely finish, adore the colour, like my fat boy PAM.
    In any case the retail price is eye watering.

    Gorgeous - I've tried the blue Ti and the weight is perfect, size works too. If for some reason you do not like blue here we go. I have to admit, the standard black does look as if it would give blue a run for its money....

    That’s very nice indeed! Bit too big for my taste if 45mm.

    Very nice choice of BP to make the classic 5015 in a more toolish, less shiny case. I had the normal Fifty Fathoms 5015 and sold it because of it's polished case as i found it too shiny with the big case.
    So i choose the Bathyscaphe as replacement. But the new brushed Ti version makes me think of adding one again to my small collection in the future. The blue version even looks more stunning.

    Is it me or only the steel shown on the Blancpain website?

    I must be a real muscle man because after few seconds I have never noticed the weight of a watch on my wrist . I do like the FF though .

    Titanium does make it more wearable. I find the SS version top heavy on the wrist

    Not too heavy, but top heavy

    If it came on a Ti bracelet it would be awesome!
    It's just a matter of time...

    The weight is awesome with the TI, but with it was 42mm.

    Not in the market atm, but would love to compare SS and Ti versions side by side.
