As I'm in an acquisition modus at the moment :

What's your personal experience with your Bathyscaphe?

Is it very delicate? Or has it proven robust and reliable?

Many thanks in advance for your experience!

Best, Thomas

... no issues, no complaints at all!
The calibre 1315 in the non-chrono Bathyscaphe has not failed in any of the Fifty Fahoms or Bathyscaphes I owned. High precision, excellent time keeping, beautiful finishing. The chrono movement is also flawless.
Blancpain's overall attention to detail and quality is evident in those watches ;-)
Hope this helps!
Cheers

This really helps a lot!

I have been intrigued by the Bathyscaphe chronograph flyback with the ceramic case (caliber F385) and by the pure Fifty Fathoms 5015 (PR 5 days!) for quite a long time.

Many years ago two different ADs told me that there had been "technical issues" with some Blancpain models in the past. So I became perhaps too overcautious and finally hesitated to pull the trigger.

But my fascination in Blancpain has never stopped. And I have heard and read so many great things about this brand.

Cheers, Thomas

... go back to the 1990s with the ultra slim movements. That was the early days of Blancpain, but some ADs keep the memory alive...
I have owned 7 watches with calibre 1315, none of them had any issue. Can't say that about some other brands ADs may talk highly of

do exactly the contrary of what the AD says

Cheers, Thomas

I just bought the watch and am absolutely passionate about the design, the legacy, the calibre, all just perfect

Love the first one, especially.
