Oh my! BP Bathyscaphe!

[swdivad]

I was saving for a gen... Now I can try before I buy. I've always loved the Bathyscaphe and wondered why they hadn't made them before.

But the rece said that it was not good like the FF..

I've never seen this available from any of the TDs, but I'm thinking of going for it... It says it's from the ZF factory but not sure what their strength is.

Maybe this is a new one improved, but if you search on the forum you can found comment about the old one..

Yes, I found below photo over on RWI... It was a while back when this canal street version was released and it's pretty terrible...
The new one from ZF is a completely different animal but I think I'll hold out for a blue dial or even better a ceramic version (but that might be dreaming)

[Dan71]

Ok i wait other review , because is a watch with a lot of personality .

[HKWL]

Would be curious about how you find this rep too. I’ve been interested in the gen for a while now. If the rep is any good I might not spend that money.

OH my! Ceramic is out!

[sgtguk]

Does look very tasty, was looking at the grey version that came out not so long ago...............now thinking maybe blue 🤔

[swdivad]

There seems to be some confusion whether this is ceramic or titanium case... Andrew just replied to me that the factory told him it's titanium

 

 

[sgtguk]

Both Ryan and Angus list the blue as ceramic and the grey as titanium, both with ceramic insert, seems a hell of a difference in price between the pieces too, would take the [censored] if they were both titanium!

And another one!!!

But, it seems nobody on this forum likes the Bathyscaphe too much... I think they're beautiful!

It's looking good... the movement isn't perfect, but the quality (especially the crown) is good quality, which was not the case on the blue ZF ceramic

[Dan71]

Do you have a link? I can’t found the correct trusty website :-(

 

Edit : is this ?

Nice !
but I’m not deep in this model and the blancpain in general ,
So I’m curious about flaws.
Anyone with eagle eyes that found flaws?

My thoughts after a few weeks with this watch:

Great quality

Running very well

Lume is stupendous!

Dial is beautiful

Very understated

Got a compliment already from a stranger

I believe the case is flawless

Bezel is really super nice

If you love this watch, I'd recommend buying it... I hope they come out with more colors, Blue was my first choice, but the quality sucked... This one is first rate!
