Just picked up my grail Titanium Blue Fifty Fathoms to replace my Seiko Marine Master, Rolex Submariner and Blue Planet Ocean 😀. It’s like all the things I love in my divers mashed into one… This thing is a beast 120hr power reserve and one of my most accurate watches.

Lovely FF!! Congrats!
It seems like a good time to shop for Blancpain 😀
I was eyeing also for the 45mm blue titanium version, but somehow was not sure about the size.
So went for the smaller sister the long discontinued black dial titanium Bathyscaphe 😎 love it!
Sent it for service 1 month ago, cant wait to get it back.

Here ya’ go! The PO is the 39.5 version. The Seiko MM is 44. All watches fit my 6.75 inch wrist fine 😀

You can call AD to place the order over phone, they will ship home to you. if they won’t, call the Vegas boutique.

The Fifty Fathoms is the one diver I've never owned that I've always wanted, especially on the X71 bracelet which is still the most comfortable watch bracelet I've ever tried on. The blue looks particularly nice, very subtle but elegant.

How do you find the size and thickness compared to the Planet Ocean and Sub?

Thickness is very similar to PO and Seiko Marine Master. Titanium makes a huge difference in comparison... feels so light considering thickness. Size wise, the lugs are short so it sits really well!
