1st Class post, Oliver.
The main problem with the Vintage FF is, as you said, that there are no archives kept.
But there is still a living memory, Mr J.J Fliechter.

Outstanding contribution, Oliver, long overdue...
I'll see whether I have something to contribute. But I guess you post is quite comprehensive ;-) Thanks for taking the efforts to put this together. It clearly shows that the recent 50 Fathoms models are clearly collectable on their own account, with some...
A very enjoyable read
I dream that the modern FF family will also offer a model 40-42 mm and perhaps without a date.
Blancpain
I also dream of another 40mm Fifty fathom! Its great to see the lineup since the rebirth in '83. Does anyone know what Bob Moloubier was wearing on his wrist at the big show in Paris? Brian
Super post....
Well done my friend... If you ever need a jog, I am certain that Blancpain would offer you one... Cheers
Thanks my friend ...
but I am really not sure about the job (jog=job, isn´t it), because sometimes pleasure & pain is very close Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Oliver
Great work :-)
extraordinary post and wonderful set of pictures... if i only could achieve one more of them besides my FF Sports... btw: may i ask the connaisseurs here what exactly is the difference between the FF Sports Chrono and the FF Sports Air Command?
