Blancpain Fifty Fathoms - Photoshoot!

Recommended Posts

Gazzla

Hey Gang

 

Recently in from Henry a rather splendido Blancpain FF in steel. :D

 

21J Asian movement, the crown operation is surprisingly solid; date flips over nicely. Crystal is stated as sapphire, but as I haven't tested it I'm assuming at the price point it's mineral. Comes on quite a decent sailcloth type strap; one of the better rep straps I've seen. Lume is okay, nothing like a gen diver, for example, but satisfactory nonetheless. Nicely engraved caseback and side case.

 

All in all, a decent rep for bugger all dough. Just 90 quid delivered and took just 6 days. Even got some QC pics. ;) Considering that the 'super reps' of these are going for stupid money, this represents solid value.

 

 

Enough waffle, pics!

Awesome pictures as always Gaz m8y, :salute:

 

Now I know Gaz has this ability to photograph a dog turd and make it also look stunning, :P but that aside this really does look like half sensible quality for very little moolah.

 

Nice one fella, decent informative heads up/review.

I'm wearing my noob FF right now.

 

I have to say that I find myself wondering why I went for the more expensive version. It's one of my all-time favourite watches (to the point where I have seriously considered buying the gen), but that looks bloody marvellous for £90!

Looks grand. Great pics.

 

One has the rose gold from the same source. Very nice and the strap is surprisingly ok.

Yeah, for 90 quid it does the job. I read your post earlier; 7 grand for the gen does seem a bit steep when your noob version is very good indeed. ;)

Wow absolutely stunning. Surely this has to go down as bargain of the century. I will deliberate over SS vs Gold and place an order immenently off the back of this thread.

Wonderful pics Gaz, and sounds like a great buy.

 

How big is your wrist ? Gaz ? Andy ?

 

I wonder if my baby 6.7" can pull this one off.

Only worn it twice. So hard to say. But seems decent so should hold up grand.

Might just go for that over the steel, then. Amazing value!
