I dig anything 50 fathoms related but with this rather quick “planned obsolescence” I use the cash towards something that will last a while

Now that Blancpain released the real model in 42mm as well… it totally makes sense… from a marketing pov… 😉

The refrain from this Eric Clapton tune works well with these kinds of Swatches.

Picked the black one up. It’s the best of the lot IMO. Actually really loving it.

It looks very large on your wrist. Might just be the camera angle.

In real life does it wear well?

Not a fan but I ordered the new 42mm Blancpain FF in titanium. Hopefully arrives next week.

I love wrist shots that include feet.
Hey- where is a special sub-forum for that, right next to the “into leather” and anyone wanna wind my Speedy.

I just tried on the Arctic orange and the Antarctic Grey at Swatch Glasgow. Looks nice. I could rock the orange one,but £350 plus vat, yeesh! I didn't realize that they were system 21 autos.
Not just yet...

Didn’t care for the nato but here it is on an Erika’s. I like it. Very light and carefree. Actually wore it mountain biking with no problems! Really testing out the warranty 😉

Also forgot to add that it is currently keeping time at 0 sec/ day! Lots of variation depending on position but still quite an impressive average.

Well, can’t deny that I’m a fan of the Ocean of Storms. It’s been a great holiday watch for me.

I’m looking forward to it. The MS was really nice and got people talking. Didn’t hurt the Speedy as many predicted. And I don’t bet against Hayek.

Should be a fun Sunday on the boards especially if they look like this.


(Pic source Monochrome Watches artist best guess on how it could look)
Cool opportunity for them to bring some light to Blancpain. I've heard some negative around this release, but I think I'm a bigger fan of this over the moonswatch because this is automatic. I'm not against the moonswatch, but it's cool they put some more into this release.
