        That's beautiful, 1016 is the perfect watch imo, so much nicer than the current Explorer.

        Here's one of my favourites, 36mm good for my noodle wrists. Sub-par denim from my pre-IH days!

          Hodinkee have announced a limited edition with Blancpain, and they are teasing it with this image.

          My guess is that it is likely to be a version of the Fifty Fathoms MilSpec, likely without a date window, as Hodinkee tend to delete these.

          It is due to drop on 15th December, and will likely sell out soon after.

            Domed sapphire bezel on those things is droolworthy.

              I'd delete the date window if it was at 4 o'clock…

                I think it will come out with 38mm or 40mm & no date.

                  Looks like you guys were pretty much spot on. It’s a pretty stunning watch in my opinion. If only I had $14k sitting around!

                    I may be a tad biased, but this IS the best version…..No argument....

                        I'd say without a doubt you are correct! I have always loved those!

                          The Hodinkee Fifty Fathoms looks good, but it was sold out by the time I checked it out this morning.

                          My favourite version is the Bathyscaphe Seventies Day Date.

                          Shame they don't offer it with the Annual Calendar complication.

                              That's good, because if I get one, you wouldn't try to steal it. 😃

                                That month window makes me irrationally angry.

                                  I dont disagree with it being unsightly but I think if you could see the day window, it would look at least somewhat balanced:

                                    Oh yeah, I missed that. You're right- I dislike it a lot less now.

                                      Worn and Wound have a story that Squale are doing a run of Fifty Fathoms knockoffs homages. They are actually using original Blancpain cases into which they have installed a modern ETA movement.

                                      They are available from the Amsterdam Watch Company.

                                            My current ‘collection’.
                                            Contemplating if I should add a field watch or B-Uhr.

                                            Also at some point I’ll have to get an auto Panerai as this hand winding movement is the main reason I don’t wear it more often.
