Dear All: I am absolutely sure this novelty has been anticipated for a long time by most lovers of the new 50 Fathoms:
The bracelet comes in the great tradition of Blancpain's marvellous and rightfully acclaimed -71 steel bracelets and is just the adequate complement to this sport watch.
As the case dimensions are identical, it also fits the Ref. 5015, the time-only 50 Fathoms version. The reference numbers are 5015-1130-71B and 5085F-1130-71B, respectively.
Cheers, Magnus
NOTE: I will come back on the price later, as there is some contradicting information floating around!
