Mea Culpa, Or: Always Do Your Research Properly
So I've just deleted a post in which I talked down the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms for having poor water resistance. I managed to confuse 30 bar WR with 3 bar... Yes, not my finest hour.
Therefore I'm posting this apology/thanks to the community members @Pablito , @nightfury95 , @drcarter13 and @Leaf84 for correcting me and not making too much fun. Thanks all.
The moral of the story? Do your research thoroughly and learn to compute between WR specs. Learn from my mistake, people!
Needless to say, apologies to Blancpain too, and rest assured the FF Bathyscaphe in 38mm is firmly back on the wish list. Now off to purchase a lottery ticket and horse show/rabbit's foot/four leaf clover...
Watch obsessive who believes smaller and cleaner trumps bigger and flashier. Much first hand love for Tudor, Grand Seiko, Longines, Oris, Hamilton, etc. while pining from afar for Rolex, Patek, VC, et...
If I had 1 metre of water resistance for every time I had a brain fart, I'd be very f***ing deep. 😀
I still say it's a very nice, understated watch.
Shit happens don’t worry about it 🤣
There 2 kazilion type of watches out there, small mistakes are to be expected, don't over think it.
I mistakenly gave the wrong size diameter for a watched I owned😱. We all are fallabble, full stop. If you do indeed buy that watch you will own a beauty. 🤗
no worries me too sometimes got it wrong. thx for the community to correct me
