This one is so damn good looking! A have a severe allergy to 4:30 dates, this is the only watch in the history of watches when 4:30 works.

Thx Daniel!! I know some/many want/use a date function, I don't so I'd prefer no date at all but this one is so inconspicuous to my eyes that it's as if it wasn't there so I'm good too . . .

It's a really cool watch, hope to add one to my stable one day. Looks great on that isofrane band.

I love BP, very understated brand in the world of collectors, for me they are an amazing brand

I'm become a big fan of the BP diver watches also. I own these two and can't let either go... even thought at times I feel like they overlap so much that I should sell one and get something else.

Love the Blancpain divers, I wish the FF was 3mm smaller in case size.

Everyone should try the FF in person. It wears a lot smaller than the size indicates. My wrist is only 6.5 inches and I pull it off.
