Awesome! Wore mine all day at the lake. So light you forget it is on.
You're an enabler. It's such a perfect watch though. You absolutely forget you're wearing it.

Both you guys. I need you to stop!!!!!!!!!!

I am gonna cave....I know it.....
Love it. Then saw the MSRP. No can do.

Amen. Why the heck is it almost 3x the regular ones??
For the same reason any of us are paying the price we do for any of these watches. Because people will pay what they're asking for it. There's nothing logical about paying even $1k for a time-only watch. :)

And for me, I'm liking it 3x more than the regular ones, so it works out for me. :cheers:

I understand all that. I just never realized bond versions had a premium.

It is the best looking example of a sea master I’ve ever seen. I’m glad to hear you’re liking it. I think this forum is gonna see a few more pop up by the looks of things.

PS if you’re saying my 5 figure Blancpain purchase was illogical well then...you may be my fiancée.
I’d love to be your fiancée! :love:

Great looking watch Matt, just seen your insta' post. I am, though, struggling a bit with the price compared with the standard version. Do you have any profile shots to show the thickness? I think I remember reading somewhere it's not quite as thick as the ss model.
It feels thin, but it’s added a domed sapphire crystal which potential adds to the thickness dimension (but helps to set it apart from standard version).

Thanks Matt, appreciate you taking the time :cheers:

Thanks again Matt. Interesting comparison: I'd expected the new one to be more obviously larger, but the difference is quite subtle. Still working out how badly I want one: for the same outlay, I could get a Pelagos and Bremont Broadsword, but, hey, balancing things out is part of the fun. Cheers, it really is a stunning piece :clap:

I love that new one, it’d be perfect if it had a bracelet.
