Bonjour Monsieur,
Je n’en sais rien. J’ai juste lu que Mission to Neptune Moonshine gold etait le signe qu’ils ont recommence tout doucement la production; mais qu’elle est tres rare.

Hell to the yeah! I want the light grey one, if they by miracle have them in the Battersea Swatch store when I visit next Month I don't think I'll be able to resist.

Too big, too thick, too disposable, too expensive.

It will be interesting to see if lightning strikes twice regarding the hype we saw 18 months ago. I don't see it happening but you never know these days.

I can't imagine, a quartz is impossible for Blancpain and an automatic by Eta would jeopardize the fame of todays Blancpain.
Though the old Rayville (Villeret) watches had AS (A. Schild) or Eta movements, but then the watches were not important for the public interest.
I remember in the late 80s, when the new (Le Brassus) Blancpain made luxury watches, I wore two black FF from the German Navy in the office. A collegue with the new gold BP was shocked about these ugly black bumpers, that should become a grail for the connoisseurs.
But lets see what the marketing will make of this Swatch idea.
Greetings Konrad

All these 6 have NSN (Nato ident code) and were used in action by German Navy divers.

Actially I am here on a Greek island and am diving for the Oktopus. Up to now this year I only met him in the salad in Adonis' restaurant.

If they’re under $400 usd it might work. Anything above and you’re in proper seiko diver territory.
apples and oranges.

The watch, that I am diving with is a Squale (GMT 30atm).
Squale is a still existing watch Co , which supplied Blancpain with cases for some watches like the Bathyscaphe, the FF1000 and the 3H.
Lately there surfaced a pack of Bathyscaphe cases by Squale with Rayville inside.
Squale and the Amsterdam Watch Co made a small series like Radiobino.
But I think there will be no cooperation between the luxury brand and the unknown.

Did anyone say 42mm was for the ladies?

Case in point- pictures taken today at a Paris Omega boutique of the new Seamaster Paris Olympic 2024. On a special OF mission, including wrist shots by special request @dsio @Trev.
