Great movement, very nice watch
And i like the new bracelet very much.
The Blancpain prices are also fair IMO.
My problem with the FF (and i have owned four) is that it is too big. I had hopes, with the launch of the new Bathyscaphe, that they would offer a 40mm diver, the same size as the limited Anniversary FF and the Aqualung (both classy watches), but i was disappointed to find that this watch is still too large for my tastes nowadays. Definitely not appropriate for a business attire, at least for me, which is a problem as i am into "versatile" watches at this moment.
Other than the size, i believe the Aqualung and the Aqualung Chrono are both great watches.
Congrats to the Blancpain team!

I have had the privilege of trying the ceramic version of this watch
at a boutique. CONS: - movement finishing a bit on the "spartan" side - pushers feel quite hard, not smooth at all, similar to the Valjoux/ETA chronos PROS: everything else! A perfect fusion of elegance, class and beauty with discretion, sturdiness and pr...
