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...
Beautiful watch....

The size of your Fifty Fathoms is much more manageable than the current model that is quite large. - SJX
Congratulations Nicolas...Terrific Watch

This watch looks terrific in the SS bracelet, but AMAZING in rubber... I can imagine that the 40mm case makes this watch much easier to wear compared to the new one - which although quite beautiful as well - wears a bit heavy and large for my taste. Defin...

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

3 years now I like the proportions for a bracelet and the lack of hash marks on the bezel more than the newer version Its the only bracelet watch I own and a nice fit Nick

. . . 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...

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...
LOL, Daos...Look at the date of the post...

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
The best looking 50 Fathoms by far. Love it.

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
Great review Nicolas!........

Congratulations....

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
Ooppss....

my bad..... I did not see the date.... An older review.... It is the new version of seeing the posts.... Belated congratulations anyway.... Cheers
