Thansk for this great report...
I enjoyed a lot reading it. Definititly this kind of reports are pushing me more and more in my idea of get the FF sport. Thanks for your comments and amazing .pictures
I'm with you that the tool that allow to change the strap should come included with the watch.
Cheers,

3 years of experience with the modern Fifty Fathoms
The first time I saw the modern Fifty Fathoms was at a Blancpain reception alongside Baselworld 2007. The models shown still had the date window placed at 3, for regular production they changed it to the 4.30 position - which had a positive impact on the ...

This is always much more interesting to read thoughts from owners...
Who spent an important time in living with the watch they"re writing about... They know what they're saying, they live with the pros and the cons, and they can describe in total sincerity their time keeper. The modern FF is an important watch, a very appe...
Great post, Henrik
Love the modern FF. Your post has definitely got me itching for one now.
A serious FF collection.
That is one very nice collection of FF's. I personnally love my FF Chrono. Best regards, George
This is a post ...
after my taste. Passionated, experienced, frank, honest ... Something we can´t get from a newbie and not from everybody. Please let me add some info/comments : "inside is made of rubber to avoid quick ageing because of sweat" MIne shows some bubbles ...
thanks for the report
I really like the tan straps--to my eye it really lends a vintage appeal to the FF J
Great write up, Henrik!

I fully agree with Oliver....

First hand eperience.. Great review.. Perfect pics ! .. 1 Q:
Really enjoyed your report, helpful impressions .. Thank you ! 1 humble Q allowed: - selling the Tribute/ No Rad - unhappy or just to similar or not long the line with your quartet ? Hope you don't mind the question: - I somehow had been looking at it, ( ...
Thanks to all for your comments...
... and answering the question from hs: The reason I have let the Tribute go is really simple: to fund for the WG version ;-) Also, the No Radiation symbol makes it a very casual watch. Future will show whether I regret it... Cheers Henrik
I hope that....
you do not regret it.... The No Radiation was is a truly special one.... On the other hand, the wg FF is truly stunning.... You did very well to buy it... and you got me thinking about getting one too... (should I be able to find one) Cheers
Amazing modern FF collection...
Thank you for this look into your collection and your insightful comments. I find the new FF to be nearly perfect in every way and lust to have one on my wrist. Thanks, Mike.
Tang Buckle
Hello There, Are the tang buckles the same size. I mean the one on the rubber strap against the one on the black canvas/sailcloth one? I have a metal bracelet and want a extra strap. The rubber one you can only get with the toolkit wich is now 883 euro. T...
Jan,...
... the toolkit contains the rubber strap and a steel tang buckle. Personally, I find 300 € for a tang buckle a little over the edge :-( Henrik
Fortunate one.
Henrik, it took me two years of frugal life to bought a single 5015 but you can afford to pull out almost every model of it !. That's shockingly fortune well spend. I can't help but drooling(and a mix of envy) at your collection.
I must have missed this review when it first came out.
Great write-up and spectacular pictures, as always. I know you are the king of the Breguet Type XX, but now I see that your kingdom encompasses the modern Fifty Fathoms as well. Cheers, John
A bit of a necro thread
But a great read. I'm curious why the TTFF was the one to go. If it were my choice that would probably be the FF that I would own as I prefer the all-brushed case and the rotor is something very special. But they're all beautifully made and iconic watches...
