Definitely will be worth it if i get lots of years of wear out it unfortunately i can say i am one of the extreme few that wasnt there to flip the swatch scuba fifty but I dont blane folk if people are gonna pay stupid amounts for it
Nice pick up. I think people miss the point of this watch and the moonswatch (from a watch nerd's pov). It's a plastic disposable-ish watch, but it's fun! They have funky colors, a cool looking back with those nudibranches, which is a great Easter egg and detail for divers, and like 1% of me is like eh, I always wanted a 50 fathoms but never wanted to pay top dollar for it because it's not cheap.
I've been debating back and forth do I get a Bathyscaphe or a baltic and I couldn't get myself to pull the trigger for the FF.
Congrats, and hope you really enjoy it. I really like seeing these going to real watch enthusiasts rather than the flippers. Would be interested in hearing your opinion after you've had it for a while.
Congrats is definitely in order went out to my AD and they told me they not getting any until October but was available in NYC by the time they told me that I knew it was sold out so I will be waiting. Congrats again and enjoy it in good health.

Definitely! Ill give all my thoughts on it for the future. 🙌🏽
How's the bezel action sound and feel? Can't imagine it being great on a plastic case and bezel, but haven't really heard much about it.
Ye in terms of the bezel its a very weak action compared to any metal swiss watch but for what you expect in a plastic material watch it surpasses what you might think .. and its perfectly alligned so not bad

Ye and to add to that I could never pull off a 45mm watch where as 42mm is managable along with the price
Overall I have to say the blue case is my favourite part beacuse I dont think Ill ever have another blue case watch cause im definitely not going to be able to afford watches like the iwc pilot chrono in blue ceramic any time soon being a student.
The watch just looks good too and it is a bit of fun to my collection which can be dull at times it offers something not many watches can definitely recommend

So not as nice feeling as a Seiko, but with better alignment, got it!

I agree to a point, but it's the disposability that gets me. People can spend their money how they like but just because you "can" buy it doesn't *always* mean you "should" 🌍

That's true. I have the moonswatch bc it's not really disposable, but a sistem51 is designed to be disposable! That seems to go against blancpain's mission to support a healthy ocean

We may need wirst shots of that bad boy! I like the color more than i did in the previous pix.
Nice pickup!
Well done,18hrs wow. Well enjoy it. It's a sweet watch
Looks like they learned a lesson from the Moon Swatch strap nastiness and put this on something decent. Good work bagging one, how does it wear?
Congrats!
Congrats...looks good.
How many did they sell? Was line up ok?
Our Vancouver store uses the “run, push, budge and fight” line up system to ensure maximum dissatisfaction and that rudeness can win over politeness.
Lining up here is a non starter 🙄
Not a fan at that price point. You can get better value at that range.
I’d like to get one in the near future but my nearest Swatch Store is in NYC I live in southeastern MA so it’s a long ways.
How do you like it so far?

You might see better value, but that doesn't mean everybody else does.
If I already have "serious" watches to handle anything the world might throw at me, maybe I value a fun watch more than anything else.

Looking forward to the next Swatch group collaboration between Longines and Blancpain.
It'll be called the Long Pain in acknowledgement of the queue to get one. 😁

18 hours? Wow! I hope it’s all worth that time. Enjoy and wear in good health my brother.
Yep its going to get plenty of wrist time over the coming days really happy with it🙌🏽
Whoa! 18hrs! That’s commitment.
Glad you were able to get the watch you wanted. Enjoy it!
Thanks man👍🏽

Yes spot on. I love the FF more than the bathyscaphe, but there's no way I can wear the normal FF and the Ocean Commitment version is hard to get!
I’d like to get one in the near future but my nearest Swatch Store is in NYC I live in southeastern MA so it’s a long ways.
Hope you can get one soon man

yea they aren’t buying this for value, they’re buying it bc it’s cool.
At least the reach the goal of putting Blancpain brand in the mind of the average consumer.

Good to hear I plan on grabbing one as well
is a fun watch, a disposable fun watch, but I dont have that money for them...
