Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

[fischyyy]

Hey guys,

I just stumbled onto this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Chronograph from Andrew, has anybody had any hands-on time with this or the non-chrono version? And how accurate are these reps. If you know a good place to get a better Blancpain rep I would appreciate the advice as this is my first experience with Blancpain.

Edit 1: I have just found this at Kingwatches: http://www.kingwatches.net/BLANCPAIN-013.htm

It looks much better than the trusty one.

if you like the vintage ones, try DVN here on the sales section. Browse his offers, there are plenty of Blancpain.

I don't think there is a non-chrono version of the modern Fifty Fathoms, despite the number of people who have been asking for one for several years now.

Subdial spacing is off and the bezel teeth could be better, but otherwise I think it's a good rep. I've handled one of these, and it was nice--very solid feel.

Secs@9 on rep, should be sec@6.

hmm thanks guys, as long as they do not make a good non chrono rep this one is a no go for me . It would be a better use of the factories time to recreate such an iconic watch than pump out 2000000 new pam clone models a week.

I believe they do make a good non-chrono vintage version. Try davidsen
