Thanks Bill. The X71 definitely did bring out the beauty of my fifty fathoms. I just can't stop wearing the thing! That's a worry about the clasp. I already spent about USD$2500 at Blancpain for the service , parts and end links for the bracelet. Hope they don't charge me more for the clasp . Looking at the enlarged pictures I'm not sure what's actually failing or if there's any adjustment I could try without making another trip to the boutique. But yes , the 5015 is a serious tool watch. My watch has been on a heavy cycle since 2011 and it's in an unpolished state. can't stop loving this watch!
