New addition: Blancpain Bathyscraph

I noticed I wasn't wearing my Hulk so decided to switch things up a bit and got the BP from a fellow TRFer. My 1st impression is that the watch is incredibly well finished and the most elegant "tool" watch I've ever seen. I'm wearing it with the NATO strap which is of incredible quality. I can see switching the NATO for the regular sail canvas strap and wearing it with a suit without an issue. The fly back chronograph function works very smoothly.

Congratulations Michael!

Maybe it's me but I think the BP Bathy Chrono actually looks better in person than it does in pictures. Extremely handsome, wears perfectly and great wrist presence.

Enjoy the new acquisition!

I agree, pictures do not do this watch justice!
