    @Andei.......Nice shot!

    Hike, what model is that? It's the exact style I was looking for... Only I couldn't find it and ordered a 113 (same face but with no date). Is it 44mm?

    @mma.......it's a PAM049 and it's a 40mm, perfect for her small wrist!

    incoming #1 for the week...and in keeping with Lani's anchor theme...

    thanks, A...she's a beauty!...R

  22. Blancpain Fifty Fathoms or Tournek-Rayville

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Davidsen is the only one currently selling vintage Fifty Fathoms reps, though you used to be able to buy a pricier rep on Jewelryandwatch.com. eBay is still plagued by these Vietnamese fakes, as well as by "Polish Navy" type watches that are based on later models. If you're interested in an FF/TR-900 homage, you can get these from MkII (Stingray), Precista (PRS-50/50B), or Corvus (Bradley).

    I own a DSN FF95, which is based on the original '53 LIP-Blancpain. It's a solidly built watch with a terrific presence, and it's one of my favorites. As reps go, none of the Davidsens (there are many dial/bezel/hands variants) will match a genuine in a side-by-side comparison. The DSN Blancpain takes features found in Fifty Fathoms models spanning a couple of decades, and averages them out in one case. That said, the best Blancpain reps of his lineup are the FF95 (LIP-Blancpain), the FF21 (TR-900), and the FF01 ("No Radiations"). The Tornek may be the best of these three, as the original has a thicker bezel than the other early FFs. The thick bezel of the Davidsen is perhaps its biggest tell when compared to genuines.

    Unfortunately, no one reps the new non-chrono Fifty Fathoms.

    Here's a recent wrist shot of my DSN. The acrylic bezel insert looks fantastic in the plastic:

    Beautiful watch! :thumbsupsmileyanim: How's the lume on them?

    and I dont get it why they don't REP the non-chrono ones! I've been waiting for them!
