Blancpain 500 Fathoms

Will be showing at Basel 09
(Titanium case)

Not getting much love over on the Blancpain forum (a bit like when the DSSD first appeared?) No doubt people will warm to it. I think it looks pretty good, although not sure about that dial...

Cheers

I don't like the dial on the first post but the lume kind of justifies it. :)

The lume of the 500 is amazing.

Either way I would still MUCH rather have the 50

I just like the looks, especially if I could get the Black Knight haha thats beautiful!
