Big Dazza Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I've just snatched up a red black bay. I hope I bond with it, the next step is to get it a little blue brother to sit along in the watchbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 The blue rep with silvery hands has been confirmed, will be released together with the V2 of the red. Just hoping they get that vintage blue right. Additional rep-version (even ahead of gen) will have the black bezel. The red is one of my alltime favourite watches, rep or gen, very easy to wear anywhere without the Rolex-stigma (love my Rolexes as well, but just for the right occasion and place). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Blue BB will be more gen-like. OK super 1 to 1 LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hmm where was the information about $459 being the price of the blue version? From what I read on RWI there has been no announcement of any price difference or increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 $459???? I´m shocked, choked, awed - is this the new way of promoting the Blancpain FF? Setting money aside for the blue ($373 shipped expected) but like that it´s getting ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 In my "next life" I'm going to be a watch designer....And get rich introducing such earth shaking ideas like: "change the insert color"...Or "make it 3mm smaller"(or larger...!!!!)

JimmyV Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yes, the blue is in the works according to Angus from Puretime over at RG. Also the maker is making a TBB Black, black bezel and black crown insert. The price hasn't been released yet so I don't know where $459 came from. Angus said the price should be close to the original price. Regardless of the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyV Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Lets hope he brings back the engraved movement plates too! I don't think they will but I hope they eventually do make them again. I was in on the pre-order of the BB so I have them and love the engraved plates. But before he (Angus) got the second BB batch he said that engraved plates were limited and very hard to get. Assuming he's taking about the factory that was making the plates. So I'm assuming again that most likely not until a new factory makes them or the current factory has more available.

Nightwatch Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Do I have something rare? Nice to know, thought by now all came like that, not only the first ones. It´s a very good one anyway, good time keeping, good crown, good pearl - happy:) Became my most used watch. Only the bomberjacket strap ordered from overseas on the 18th past month isn´t in yet.

Big Dazza Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Cant see clearly but it looks like only your rotor is engraved? The first batch had engravings on the actual movement plate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
