Helmut Wong 36 Posted May 9, 2017 It is big but I'm thinking it might work worn gianni Agnelli style Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted May 9, 2017 Got the JLC and it was a bit "meh". Go for the Blancpain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FL13 511 Posted May 9, 2017 We are sure muddying the water for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helmut Wong 36 Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Muddying the waters yes , but what does emerge is that they are both fantastic watches. The simple answer is that I need to get both. Still working out which one to get first though . I'm leaning towards the blancpain but the pendulum may yet swing Edited May 10, 2017 by Helmut Wong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helmut Wong 36 Posted May 10, 2017 Get the NSD. One of my favorite watches. That stingray strap is incredible . Where did u get it from ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splke 4,387 Posted May 10, 2017 Here's an even better idea. Get the FF. Then signup for VIP membership of this forum which you are getting so much benefit from, thereby entering into a draw for a JLC NSD. If you win you've saved yourself a bunch, if not then you buy it anyway and both you and the forum benefit. Simples This is what you should do ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewart 0 Posted May 10, 2017 ZF just came out with a FF that has the deployment clasp. Be sure to consider this one too... https://www.intime01.co/blancpain/3747-fifty-fathoms-ss-black-zf-1-1-best-edition-black-dial-on-sail-canvas-strap-a2836-free-extra-strap.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what the difference is This watch just became available so there is not a lot of info but it may be better than the noob. It also has a deployment buckle as well as the standard buckle.

There is some discussion on RWI regarding this release but the jury is still out. This is a quote from a guy on RWI regarding this watch... I have no incite or expertise regarding this comment. hello guys, just compared BPFF from noob v1 and zf (pictures from puretime website) and my real noob v2. I saw that zf case from side view is not like the original - the line between lugs and case is not like a circle and is more straight, like 2 lines Also datewheel number 28 do not look like gen one, noob looks better...

mike_morgan 0 Posted May 11, 2017 It is big but I'm thinking it might work worn gianni Agnelli style That's a bold choice... not many can pull off a watch above the cuff without looking like a country bumpkin, For Agnelli that's less of a style choice than it is a bona fide 'quirk'. But if you can, then why not? Make sure to get some knit ties and an impeccably tailored suit to complete the ensemble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
