Blancpain Fifty Fathoms MilSpec

No words... just mmmmm

Overall I love it, but I've never been happy with the radiation spot or whatever it's called. Probably just my peculiar hang up, but it always looks like the hand has fallen off a sub dial to me?

I picture that dial without it and I think "absolutely stunning" with it not so much.

I'm with you on that too Mike :-)

 

I'd bet we'll see this out from the makers in the future

If we do I'm in. I will either live with the dial or get a new one. Historically some had the radiation spot, others didn't. I'm no expert, I think @panarai153 knows more about these "white breads"

Nice evariation on the fifty fathoms but with resurvations on The Spot, which I thought was a moisture indicator? 

Dunno which is it?

Yes, it's a moisture indicator! It is overbearing, and I think the watch would look awesome without it!

OK so the idea of a moisture indicator has some merrit on a waterproof watch but things have moved on since the original of about 50yrs ago 

and I absolutey agree this is too prominent  on the dial and detracts (for me) from overall appearence however, lets see it repd and then we can give it a trial on the wrist maybe.

I might just change my mind!
