lanikai Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Just some quick and dirty pics.. of my FF21.. although I ordered the incorrect divers strap (curved) it should be the straight ended strap.. Oh well,... I'll live with it for now.. At first glance I thought the case would be top heavy .. but .. not at all.. it sits very comfortably and is very well balance on the wrist. I have really evolved into wearing the vintage reps and vintage genuine pieces in my collection about 95% of the time .. I don't know what it is about the pexi crystals,... but they are my preference now.. maybe more character to them .. and the genuine Tropics crystals for Rolex has a unique sparkle to them in the sunlight.. My wrist are average 7.5" more or less depending on my diet..and surprisingly the FF21 wears about the same (to my eye's at arms length) like a Rolex Sub.. with a little more height.. It's a very versatile piece.. it goes with Nato strap as well as divers and I would assume it would look good on the water proof leather MP's.. I kind of like it for a daily beater.. Thanks for viewing gang !! A~C Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertk Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Lani, These vintage Blancpain's are among my favorites. I ended up with this model (with a letter missing for the time being). There's a lot of history and variations with these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 These are beautiful reps. The FF95 is my favorite of the lot. They are all nice. The strap possibilities are endless. Vintage reps at their best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
