Incoming - BP FF Flyback chrono
Yesterday I exchanged as a straight swap a boring, mass machine made Rolex Submariner 114060 with a retail price of £6450 for a piece of high horology on a totally different level to Rolex and can't seriously even be compared.
It retails for £14200, has beautiful hand finishing, isn't mass produced, has a flyback chronograph movement beating at 5hz and even beats my Submariner on accuracy. I am now the proud owner of a Blancpain fifty fathoms bathyscaphe flyback chronograph in black ceramic. The only advantage a Rolex is brand recognition with increasing values, sure the Blancpain will depreciate but unlike 90% of Rolex buyers, I am actually interested in horology, I choose to buy the best watch I can for £8500 and not the best investment opportunity. I do wonder why I ever bought the Submariner, probably let myself get caught up in the stainless steel craze, you live and learn! |
