Verdict:

Blancpain comes with no nonsense packaging material. Instead of using typical wood as material, BP FF comes with an innovative idea:Pelican case. It reflects the character of Fifty Fathoms: strong and sturdy.

Omega has improved the material for the packaging. Comparing it to the typical Omega packaging, red box coated with synthetic leather, the usage of foam as packaging material is beneficial for long term storage.

Overall, Blancpain packaging appears to be more professional, more innovative, better looking and higher quality than Omega PloProf.

Rating:

Blancpain: 5 Stars (maximum)

I personally prefer the Ploprof for its look and feel on the wrist. Congrats on a great pair!

You are one of the first person who witnessed the arrival of PloProf on my wrist

SJX saw your watch BEFORE you arrived!!!!

Thanks for the beautiful picture and candid review. 

Now I am seriously tempted by Ploprof. (saying alot coming from a stauch JB fan) 

I think both watches are very attractive, although I admit to being a bit intimidated by the PloProf.  I've yet to try it on the wrist, and I'm told it is much more manageable than one would imagine, but boy, it looks fierce!  Your photos are fantastic!  I love the macros of the bezels in particular!
