desert island watch
By: agyzace : May 3rd, 2014-00:54
As I was sitting in the lobby of my hotel in Abu Dhabi after the completion of a three day conference, I took some time off waiting for my flight which was much later in the day. I was wearing the Fifty Fathoms Sport during this trip, and while I looked a...
Hey, Alexandros, my friend...

I love the way you elaborated your choice. And I love to see you loving these modern FFs so much, too. Tough call, my friend... If I had to be pragmatic, then to think that I may be stuck in a desert island for a long time, then I would take a Rolex. And ...
hey, dearest Nicolas...

...for some mysterious reason I had suspected that a Rolex would have been your choice. A Sea-Dweller would have been my second choice actually. I would stick to modern probably as well, due to reliability concerns. Have a great weekend my friend! Alexand...

I always think on this purchase, always. there are a couple of watches in the range of 5/7K€ in my wishlist, but it happens i drop. concerning the FF it's only a matter of size, don't get me wrong, i easily wear Panerai in 44mm case, but the Blancpain see...
it wears small
By: agyzace : May 3rd, 2014-08:49
Hi Christian, the FF wears much smaller than a 45mm watch due the fact that: 1. the watch closes in downwards,meaning that at the base (where it comes in contact with the hand), it is probably more a 39mm 2. the bezel is a nice size, hence the dial is muc...

Completely agree

I recently purchased the Blancpain FF Sport and have been wearing it about 90% of the time since. It has a lot of competition for wrist time - Nautilus 5980, Rolex GMT II and Sub, Heuer Monaco, Grand Seiko GMT, GP 1945 Chrono XXL, and an RGM 801E. It seem...
deserted island watch
By: edwardwchang : June 25th, 2014-20:12
agree that this watch should be on any deserted island watch shortlist. RE: reliability compared to a 3 hand or 3 hand + date rolex, i think the f piguet movement is just as reliable as the workhorse movements in the submariner line of rolex, or even for ...
It's nice to feel that kinship with a watch
By: Mostel : June 25th, 2014-22:06
I used to fantasize about the dessert island quite a bit, and I always thought Rolex Sub LV mainly because it's a true tool watch, a diver. These days it's hard to say... I think it would probably still be the LV. This assumes that the island is an island...
this is the post that tipped the scales for me
By: mr_gray : August 5th, 2014-22:11
it was based on this "review" in hindsight, that the momentum built to where it was not a matter of if i would own the FF but when. hopefully it will arrive soon and then i can consider whether it would also be my desert island watch. i really like my hul...
delighted

I could be of service. Seriously, it is an incredible watch. I own many watches, but nothing gets anywhere near the wrist time that this one as well as the blue version get. If you like simple watches or divers, I have not experienced anything that beats ...
