Very nice review Nicolas, and here are my thoughts...
Nov 01, 2014,04:22 AM
It's important to note that I've been diving for about 15 years and have logged well over a hundred dives, and in all kinds of conditions, from the warm crystal clear waters of Cayman Islands and Bali to the murky and cold waters off the coast of California and South Africa. I've done wreck dives, night dives, and even a cage dive with Great Whites!
And in all these years and all these dives, I have never seen anyone wear anything more expensive than a Rolex Sea-Dweller! And that's on VERY rare occasions and always worn by "tourists". I have never seen a crew member or a self respecting dive captain with anything more expensive than a Citizen. I have never seen a Blancpain nor an AP Diver, not to mention the ridiculously absurd, such as the likes of Richard Mille RM025 Diver Tourbillon!!!
What I think a diver needs is legibility and dependability and a watch that wouldn't give you a heart attack, should you bang it against a dive tank
That being said, I still appreciate the Blancpain X Fathoms. Perhaps not as a dive watch, but more as a watch that represents the technical prowess of Blancpain. And of course, I still very much enjoy reading your reviews
Thanks again,
Kamy
