386 WOW!!!!! It's what I can say. I hope to see it soon.

I'm sure to go for v2 version, but not the cheapest versión. I think the asian clone is the best option. The movement is very reliable. And some time when you pay for swiss movement isn't swiss or sometimes are recycled old movements that need a revision. Anyway, thanks for sharing your photos. I will think this week what to do.

I still don't know what to do

I want to buy a v2 ploprof. But I still don't know which one. I saw a lot of reviews of the black one. But I cannot see any white. Can anybody post some pictures of the white version?

But the "loupe" is circular

Seem v2 is finally out

synthetic = mineral glass

Thanks mate. Your opinion is an honour to me.

It's fairly good, but don't think that is a seiko. Nevertheless, we have to think that is a vintage watch, an lume is not supposed to be spectacular.

Operation Overlord was the code name for the invasion of western Europe during World War II by Allied forces. The operation began on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy Landings (commonly known as D-Day) when an airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June, and more than 3 million troops had landed by the end of August. Allied land forces that saw combat in Normandy on D-Day itself came from Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Free French forces and Poland also participated in the battle after the assault phase, and there were also contingents from Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, the Netherlands, and Norway. Other Allied nations participated in the naval and air forces. Once the beachheads were secured, a three-week military buildup occurred on the beaches before Operation Cobra, the operation to break out from the Normandy beachhead began. The battle for Normandy continued for more than two months, with campaigns to establish a foothold on France, and concluded with the close of the Falaise pocket, the subsequent liberation of Paris on 25 August 1944, and the German retreat across the Seine which was completed on 30 August 1944. The Royal Air Force (RAF) is the United Kingdom's air force, the oldest independent air force in the world. Formed on 1 April 1918, the RAF has taken a significant role in British military history ever since, playing a large part in World War II and in more recent conflicts. Graham pays tribute to Halifax Mk III, a bomber used for clandestine operations. In my opinion the construction of the case is well done. But the most escpectacular is the dial. You can see most of the details of the bomber in the dial (RAF logo, fuselage, flight deck,...) Wrist shot. It

The tropic was my first option. But I was surprised by the great looking of the milanese. Thanks for the pictures.

Can I ask where did you get the milanese?

It's bad photo I know. but it was taken by mobile phone

I'm here quite long yime ago, but no in another forums. I think it's time to be more active around here

DSN FF95 In 1952, two French naval officers, Commander Robert "Bob" Maloubier and Lieutenant Claude Riffaud were instructed by the Ministry of Defense and the French Navy to set up an elite unit called "Les Nageurs de combat" - i.e. Combat Swimmers - which became then a highly selective and top notch unit within the French forces. Their underwater operations required rugged, water-resistant and reliable equipment capable of withstanding the testing conditions and environment of sub-sea missions. At the time, they found no diver's watch that could meet their demanding specifications. The two officers determined what they needed by way of a wristwatch and got in touch with Blancpain Rayville SA, in Villeret, Switzerland. The company's visionary engineers and watchmakers put their talents and know-how to work and came up with a compact marvel of precision mechanics, which would later become a myth: the FIFTY FATHOMS. At the same time, LIP's reputation in France was second to none. Their dominant position in the French market led Blancpain, then virtually unknown in France, to sign a marketing and distribution deal with them in 1953 to enable them to get a toehold in France. Lip was at the same time able to distribute high-class watches with their own name on the dial. Over the years and until the 1980s, several models were issued by Blancpain in small quantities, often for a military use in several countries. Most were fitted with AS (Anton Schild in Grenchen) auto movements. Many had the "no radiation symbol" on dial and some with the moisture circle indicator to control water resistance (often seen on the MILSPEC 1 and TR-900). The reputation of reliability of these watches earned them the right to be used by armies such as French Navy, Czech, Polish, German federal, some Nordic countries, and also by the US Navy (SEAL, under water demolition team, Frogman). Davidsen is the only one that I know who dared to replicate vintage editions of the FF. However, their differences vs gen are quite obvious. It is a watch that you say you love or you hate, I do not think there is midpoint. But if what you are looking for a rep is the gen with its accuracy, flight of this model. This has many virtues, but the differences with gen obvious. Remember that watches that are mostly built in the 50s and are very few of them, especially in good condition. GEN photos Photos of the REP The rep: I love the bezel. It is very wide and is the part that gives more life to watch. As a difference with the gen have the teeth of the bezel, in the version of DNS is much more marked than in the gene and the outer ring of steel is much thinner. The numbers on the bezel should be a little thicker and more separated. Diameter is 41 mm. The dial is another marvel. Very sober, but very complete. It seems that both the numbers and text respect the original. The hands are also very well finished and with the correct length and width in my point of view. With regard to the crown seems to be quite different from the gen. Since the rep seems to be just a bit oversized and flat, and the gen ends rather rounded. However, there are several versions within a single model of the FF, so I do not consider too important. The glass is plexiglass. Scratches are common, but it is a vintage and should be this way. However, I have read that the plexi should be a little more curved. As read, it appears that the caseback is correct, but the photo of the gen that there are differences. Back again with the different versions, it seems that different caseback were done. DSN sends the watch with a carbon fiber strap, that the truth does not just convince me. Here is another difference with the gen, given that the distance between the lugs should be 20 mm to 22 mm and not as manufactures DSN. I'm thinking of a NATO or a tropic. The lumen is certainly spectacular and the lumen of the bezel outstanding. Davidsen guarantees the waterprrof in this watch, but I don’t know if swimming with it. I think this is a basic thing in a diving watch, In short, a special watch, I love, as you look over you like, however, there are differences with the gen. Who loves this watch is not for its fidelity to the original, look for other things and everyone knows theirs. Now the watch is too new to be a vintage age and need a vintage modding (aging the case). But I do not dare to do it by now. Thanks for reading and I hope I have done something for growing interest in these fabulous model of Blancpain. PD: I am sorry about my english.

We've been here for a little time, but i think it's time to indroduce myself and share with us my passion for watches. I hope to be more active in the forum.
