Blancpain 500 Fathoms Titanium Watch
Wow, I did not expect to see something so bold from Blancpain this year. This is a totally new route for their diving watches. At first I was torn about the look (didn't see to be much more than what Invicta could come up with), but then I began to appreciate the more subtle items. Retained are the sapphire crystal tops on the rotating bezel (such a nice feature by the way), and new are the hands, and the face. The hands are really designed for perfect legibility in both light and dark situations, not one or the other which is sometimes the fact. They also remind me of torpedoes. I think that is intentional. The wild looking lume on the face is also fucntion, and not just for show. Somehow, it seems to make the watch easy to read in the dark when you aren't used to simply using the hands.Blancpain opted to go with a light weight titanium case for this large 48mm wide watch.

Horrible experience with AP and service centre - advice sought
Hi all, Am very upset with my experience so far, but will try to organise my post in an objective manner, as I am looking on advice on how I may proceed if things don't turn out well. Posted this on TZ as well, but decided to post here too as I welcome different persepectives.I bought an AP ROO Panda some time ago brand new, and about a week or so after found that the power reserve was clearly lacking, stopping after less than 12 hours (I posted about this previously as well). I brought it to the service centre in my country Singapore, and was subsequently told that the lubricating oil had dried up, and this would require an 8 week service period. I noticed on forum searches that this was a pretty common issue, so no matter, allowed the service period and patiently awaited its return. I was then informed yesterday that the watch was ready for collection, about 8 weeks from the time I sent it in. Went back, collected the piece, it looked fine, and proceeded to wear the watch last night.
