Blancpain

Let me introduce you my last purchase, which was a nice and surprising arrival, as I hunted this piece for some 5 long years,now.... The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, 50th Anniversary! This watch was launched in 2003, in a LE of 3 series of 50 watches, the Ser...  

Beautiful watches Cool text Nice shirts Hairy hand Touche again Best

Congrats on your FF 50th Anniversary Series II. I think this FF is one of the most beautiful Sports-Action-Watches around. The convex sapphire bezel is special. It will be great if you can shoot a lume shot...especially with the lit-up numerals on the bez... 

Hi Nicolas, very nice time piece i will keep an eye out for this piece as ive always liked it but your one is even nicer what do you think i could pick one up for if found at all are they around , and the SS71 bracelet is my favourite bracelet of all watc...

I'm really impressed....Seems we have a very similar taste for watches, my friend... This BP FF Nr 6, the Pre V Watches, a Vintage JLC Diver.... Unbelievable, my friend. It 's a long time you own it? Best, Bro! Nicolas

. . . but I'm glad I showed up at Blancpain's address just in time to register my congratulations, NIcolas . . . your version of the FF is my favorite, too, and I remember trying one on four years ago and wondering if there was room in my budget for yet a... 

nice, informative==a pleasure to read and view the excellent photos. thanks

Nicolas, another excellent FF joins the family! Congratulations to you! I'm off to lunch now, but just saw this and wanted to post a quick word to cheer on your latest acquisition. The Fifty Fathoms are a wonderful family of watches. You know I love diver... 

We have to get used to the new system, which is excellent because it allows old posts to surface. This FF is still with me, and like the Dwarfs, they are 7 now... Thanks for your nice comments, Sister! Nicolas

Excellent report. Beautiful pictures and watches. Been thinking for many years in this Ltd Ed. When it was released, it was too expensive for my pocket so I let it escape. Patience will give us wisdom, and wisdom will give us patience. Thanks Nico. Vte

on getting a watch that you wanted so much..... Enjoy it..... I thought, though, that you had more than one vintage FF.... I must been mistaken.... Great review... Cheers
