That's a great looking watch! A big congrats! I especially love that dial with the split/sectioned sunburst on the outer radius. Not sure if that's a correct description, but whatever it's called.....I'm loving the look!

Both are nice. But since you asked, the beautiful one on the left.

Always liked that watch. Something different. And it's very well executed.

Yea, that is a cool choice from another great brand. It brings its own style and design without looking close to your Rolex and a great “strap watch”. Diversity is the key with a successful collection.

Love the BPFF! Try the sail cloth strap if you haven’t already.

Neither for me. This iteration of the FF is too big. I think the 38mm Bathyscaphe is better proportioned for daily wear. And I don't love the LVs...

I prefer the Submariner date to the FF.

The FF is a great reference, but they just don’t fit my wrist as well as a Rolex diver

Congratulations on the BP.

While I appreciate the pedigree of the BP. It’s, not to my taste. I already picked the one on the right and it suits me better.

The only two on my list are the 5-digit (16610LV) Kermit Flat 4, and the 4-digit (1680) Red Sub with patina dial for my birth year ('75).

Don't care for any of the modern ceramic 6-digit subs. I do like the SD43, but would much rather have the 1680.
