Vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bund.
A bit apart from the vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms we see, more " funky ", but not lacking charm.
Best,

Possibly my favourite is this Vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bund
I just find this one so appealing and really like the fact it is so different to the usual Fifty Fathoms, I actually had the opportunity to acquire one about 20 years ago and if the dial had been a little bit nicer than it was I would have. Never found one that was in good enough condition and they don't seem to be a lot around so yet another one that got away.

A few years back
Squale and Chronofactum did a limited edition called fifty atmos as a reference to the Bund FF sharing the same case. I've always played with the idea of getting one:
(Credits Chronofactum）
Yes! I saw one pop up on a sales forum recently
Had to talk myself out of grabbing it.
A friend had a bad experience with a Squale recently
Not so bad--just that he found the case sharp-edged and uncomfortable on his wrist--but that's the kind of thing I need to hear if I was going to stop myself!
I have also in the past considered the Squale Fifty Atmos.
When they first came out and even a couple times over the past years, I know it's a homage and that's sort of OK but in the end I just couldn't get past the Squale and C1 on the dial and me knowing it was just a copy of what I really wanted so passed. Even now there are only a few original Blancpain Bund's for sale that I could find but they all have issues with the dial that I couldn't live comfortably with.

Oozes charm. Wonder why Blancpain is just keeping this one in the basement and not letting a reissue out.
