I would definitely make that trade for the Blancpain if it were my decision to make. Only part I don't really care for is the date location. It probably should just not have a date wheel at all.
The dive bezel on the Rolex is much smoother and more satisfying to rotate than the Blancpain as well (though the FF is more pronounced and stiff between clocks,this is probably intentional for underwater purposes, however Rolex is like butter on glass and I find it much more enjoyable)
Why would one turn the bazel on a dive watch without scuba gear on ?

Photo dump, also new Tudor FXD pelagos. Titanium with fixed lugs, commissioned by French special forces Marine Nationale as a true modern tool watch.
Notice the bezel counts down instead of timing how long. This is because it's not for keeping track of oxygen underwater(computers do that). It's for tracking distance going a certain direction to navigate underwater in stealth mode. A real modern bad ass tool.

Why do you shave your hand and wrist?
I don't, I'm white Hispanic.
Only @Doogles can pull off white hispanic hand model in luluoemon sweats, wearing a pelagos doing the cable machine.

I paid a visit to Ben Bridge at Southcenter the other day to see what they had. Was hoping to stumble upon a Tudor Black Bay Chronograph but obviously no such luck. Asked about Rolex and got a quick "we don't have any in stock" so I didn't bother to push that any further. Tried on the Black Bay 58 925 (silver) and it's pretty nice, much more of a tool watch look versus my OG BB 58. Left empty-handed and am hoping to land the new Seiko 5 GMT when it releases this month.

Wait a year or so. There will almost assuredly be some Rolex back in the cases. The watch market is in free fall.
Some of you timepiece-loving bastards better have one of these on your dresser. That's right @YellowSnow, I'm talking to you, Chairman. Saw one of these at Costco not long ago, and durn near ponied up right on the spot. But my wife needed new tires that day, so I hesitated & now they're gone. But who doesn't want to look bitchin' stylish in one of these while they're wackin' a guy for not paying his debts?

I have definitely sexted @Swaye costco watch pics live while out shopping for the comedy.
Needed a new band on my Doog Watch (I do claim I have the doogiest watch) the original leather band broke. The other thing I wanted was a picture of someone's wrist without it being pasty white. Go back to the OPs original post and comments were how white the wrist was - albeit sexy - (I think that was @Doog_de_Jour)
and a close up of the new band with the 'safety' clip that stops the band from accidentally opening up and falling off your wrist. Now when I catch my watch on an object it will rip my entire wrist and hand off. The watch will be saved so it is OK - the little black thingie extending out is the lock clip. I did notice on a previous picture of someone's pasty white wrist that it seems expensive watches already have that - not my cheapos

Truthfully, I've debated liquidating the entire collection in fear of the world burning, but can't seem to get myself to do it. I sexted Swaye and Baze I'm out the game only to get sucked back in.
After months of intense negotiations with our noble savage, I finally sent a delegation (on camelback) with gobs of cash to @Swaye's trailer park to pick up this insane timepiece. I took possession of it today. Without further ado....

Sorry about the Doxx fam
Yacht Master 40 Rhodium dial with platinum bezel.
Biderectiona bezel, more contoured case shape, and polished center links differentiate this piece as a thinner, more elegant option to the sub.

Both those watches are nails.
