Introducing The Blancpain Ocean Commitment Bathyscaphe Chronograph Flyback, And A New Book Celebrati
Coming to you live from the south of France, where I was just shown a brand new limited edition Blancpain chronograph that has a lot going for it. Its official name is the Ocean Commitment Bathyscaphe Flyback Chronograph, but what it is to us collectors is a limited edition take on the new Bathyscaphe chrono shown at Basel this year with an awesome new high-beat, in-house chronograph. There is a lot to like here, and on top of this new watch, Blancpain also announced a massive, 475-page chronicle of the entire history of the Fifty Fathoms, the very first modern dive watch. 2 OF 4 First, the watch. This limited run of 250 watches features a gorgeous blue dial, with blue ceramic bezel. But what is most interesting (IMHO) is that while the case looks like either brushed steel or titanium, it is neither. It is, in fact, a matte grey ceramic. It's light and tough, but with the look of traditional materials.This new piece looks fantastic, and I think it's easily my fav

Patek Philippe Calatrava Mens 5119G
I'm considering buying this watch. Nothing is prettier than a white gold Patek, if you ask my opinion...Anyone know a good price point for a LN one?IMG_4964.jpg

Sausage/Painted Dial Durability?
Used to be a sandwich guy, but now the sausage/painted dials are growing on me. Other than aesthetics, are there any cons for sausage/painted dials? For example, durability of the painted (vs. sandwich), lume, etc.Also, are sausage/painted dials only on the base/lower models?
