What We Assume
It is arduous to make an excessive amount of of a judgment on these watches as a result of we have been solely given a handful of renderings and two photographs, however this looks as if a stable addition to the core lineup of Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique releases. My intestine response is that these items would possibly undergo from the identical points as the remainder of the road: pricing.
A fast scan of the secondary market exhibits I may get a titanium Fifty Fathoms Automatique on a bracelet for about the identical value as the brand new metal mannequin on a tropic strap. That makes the titanium launch from final yr all of the extra attractive. Some folks want metal, although, so this launch ought to make them pleased.
