What Is On My Wrist: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Limited Edition For Hodinkee

[@L.A.C_Santos]

I really like it but I feel the classic dial is more unique and special. I just love the syringe square hands and the small round markers on the classic version.

[@Rahul-dl6ct]

This is my grail. Shame Blancpain doesn't make their designs simpler like this.

[@masanobuyamamoto6395]

My thought exactly. This watch looks like a real small version of the original FF and I say this in the positive way. The modern Bathyscape still has some designs from the original but I hate the rectangle hour and minute hands have the pointy thing at the end

[@emmanuelshipstone]

Blancpain is criminally underrated. This is a way more interesting watch than a Rolex or Omega diver.

[@rissolethrower2243]

How many were made again?

[@TheKwaze]

Nice review. Is the bezel ceramic or what?

[@willied1736]

What is your wrist size? It looks good on your wrist but reading it wears small.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Ah yes the video I have been waiting for! I remember you talking about this on the podcast! Beautiful watch, congrats brother!

[@craftandtailored]

love it so much!! when you coming to the office for a hung dude!

Nice, only thing that sucks is the faux patina

[@andrewgiblin3468]

Great watch and great review. The Blancpain’s are my favourite diver ahead of my vintage Seamaster 300.

70/100 here and love it, wear it everyday.

I’m twenty years old and as good as broke. But ever since this watch released I have to have it. It’s my grail daily watch. But therefore I was wondering. Do people who buy a limited edition Hodinkee BlancPain even think about selling it? Or is this a watch that will stay with you forever?

[@user-dr7tb4xf4o]

Ben A sure, you'd probably be able to find one of these for sale, but being a very limited release, expect to pay over retail. At that price point, I would much rather have one of the other limited releases (40mm) from the Blancpain Fifty fathoms line, eg the Milspec, the Barakuda or the Ocean Commitment III. Otherwise, if you're not willing to spend that much, just get the regular 38mm Bathyscaphe, which is basically the same watch; same quality and level of finishing, same movement, but in a different color (comes in black or blue), different dial layout, and with a date window.

[@ReignsDad71023]

Would like to see a 40mm version without Hodinkee on the rotor.

[@nintendokings]

If only Blancpain made more true vintage style watches like this one....actually I take it back, my wallet would suffer

[@ParsonWilkerson]

Hey man can you suggest a reasonably priced rigid nato style strap? It can be hit or miss with them what do you use?

@@craftandtailored Good looking out man. BTW I got that tritium speedmaster.

[@yasha8951]

I would buy it on the spot if hey ever make another run

[@christianamato4193]

Very cool and entertaining as always Cam. Looking forward to the next video. Maybe a 1016?? 👀

[@craftandtailored]

Do you read minds hehe stay tuned you are going to enjoy the next episode!😎

[@christianamato4193]

First the 1655 and now the 1016. It’s more like you’re reading off my favorite watch list 🤓

[@craftandtailored]

​@@christianamato4193 hehe! happy to share and share my man!

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Gentlemen divers wear Blancpain.

[@craftandtailored]

oh yes they do sir..... yessss they do!

[@yasha8951]

People are to hype for limited editions as if everyone out there was wearing a watch, I understand some see these as investments but ... making a watch like this limited is very big miss

[@WillyMcCoy50]

Awesome review! Thank God for folks like you that have discriminating taste and a budget to match!

[@craftandtailored]

Thanks for watching!

[@ultimaetsolder]

10 minute video, and you never show the watch lol.

[@austinzizzi1142]

And this is the only video showing this watch and he didn’t show it 😂

[@jimmysplit7729]

Nice enough, I just can’t bring myself to buy one unless it a vintage original of course. Cheers mate.

[@craftandtailored]

I agree I have a real fifty fathoms in my collection but being that the bakelite bezel is worth $25k this is a killer option that you could travel with and actually dive with which I think is cool and why I wanted to share it! I think out of all the limited editions this is special and super dope!

[@jimmysplit7729]

Craft & Tailored Mate I appreciate everything you share😊 it’s an awesome watch, no doubt! I guess I’m just a vintage nut at heart , who am I kidding so are you! Lol “a real fifty fathoms in your collection”🤤 I’m not envious 😬 Thanks for your awesome content, always appreciated! Cheers, Jimmy.

[@craftandtailored]

@@jimmysplit7729 Appreciate you too my dude! This would just be an insane collection and an out of control obsession with the #watchfam! yep have a real one in my collection that i will bring out in one of these episodes in the future.... its pretty insane and also highly radioactive

[@austinzizzi1142]

It just looks like wanna be version of the 70th anniversary now

[@markgiles8527]

People want watch’s. Making limited number makes no sense at all. Making watches that only a few can own makes sense, does it?

[@maoatreyu]

This is an almost 1 to 1 rip-off of a microbrand called Richard LeGrand who ripped of Blancpain's case.

[@temujinadonijah6365]

Just two points really number one why on earth would you do a review when you're not even showing us what the Watch looks like acceptor on distant pictures you got the Watch on your wrist and you don't even do the close-up first to see what it looks like in real life so that's the first point on that respect is a rubbish review it says if you did it just to boast you've got a watch on second point is it's a disgrace to Blancpain that it took hoodinkey for them to make a watch which they should have had the initiative to make many times over in the past instead of a disgusting sapphire bezel like a pillow going around the watch with a date on so no credit Saab long time there they obviously got some very ugly ideas if it takes another firm to come along and show them how to simplify something and make it more functional... Pity about the see through case back would be perfect watch if solid... But this watch is closest to best pleasing when I look at the Tornek Rayville

[@444slowitdown]

Really isn't cool when you can not enjoy it for the fact you can not come too ever own one for the average joe blow
