Trying out my Léman Complete Calendar on a Mesh Bracelet:
What do you all think? Maybe will try a Forstener beads of rice bracelet next.
Celebrating newborn and divemaster certification
After treating myself to a 5015 (my grailwatch) at my 40s birthday a while ago, I now celebrate the arrival of my newborn with this special piece.
Finishing my Divemaster certification in the same year as her birth seems like a good sign to get the FF Tech ☺️👌🏻
Bathyscaphe 43 in titanium
Super satisfied that I got this for my 25th birthday!
Love the brand and adore the watch!
Shhh…
It’s taking a nap on one of many strategically placed silicone coasters I have around the house. It never just gets “set down”
42mm in titanium on the rubber strap with Germany clasp. This watch is so perfect for me!

Fifty fathoms bathyscaphe aftermarket bracelet recs
Love my bathy on the sailcloth but also like the idea of throwing a bracelet on it, the OEM bracelet is cool but 2.5k seems a bit ridiculous. Has anyone had any luck with aftermarket options?
Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune
Thursday is officially the “Wear your calendar complete moon phase dive watch that’s rated to 1000 ft Day”.
Fifty Fathoms 5010 variations
Hey all. I have been thinking about the BPFF since about 2008 and I think I am finally about to get it done....I am a SCUBA diver and love the history of the watch and that it was one of the original watches Cousteau wore.
So I thought I'd ask here if folks had thoughts on Ti vs Steel, Blue vs Black, and the various editions that have come out. I am speaking mostly of the 5010 as I will likely be buying via Chrono24 as the used prices are much closer to my budget than the new prices or the costs of the 42mm.
Also, I know the 45mm is huge, but I remember the early aughts when every watch was huge, so I am prepared LOL.
Strap quality abysmal
I wonder how difficult it is to produce a strap that survives more than two wears. Extremely upset over the quality of the stuff which is so expensive. What are the options here? The strap is Blancpain original sailcloth type for AquaLung Big Date.
Hands on with the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune
Blancpain Watch Strap thing
Has anyone seen one of these or have any information to where I could acquire one ?
I would be very interested if somebody could lead me to one of these.
Watch Accuracy Meter app - I know this probably isn't the best way to check but as a high level, is my Villeret running okay?
