archibald Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Scored Breitling an Blacpain catalogs @ the AD today. I'll take the Breitling in Bronze and the Blancpain in black, please...and if ythey can only do one, just the blancpain would be fine since the gen to super-rep price ratio would be ten to one instead of 3 to one.

Daytona4me Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yep, I'm with you on the Blancpain. I've seen it in an magazine somewhere and sent it off to dealers asking them to look for it. So far no one has told me that it has been replicated (well, that was around 3 months ago). I hope to see it one day, a nice perfect version would be fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 That Fifty Fathoms is a must-rep ! ! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymoi Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) I'm in love with the Fifty Fathoms!Lets get it repped, like we have done with so many other watches.So who's going to start the poll to get the board to agree on this and get one of the dealers to start working on it? Alright Chiefy! Long time no smell by the way! Moi Edited November 29, 2007 by Jaymoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) I like the Blancpain, but am not impressed with the Breitlings. No lume on the dial means it wouldn't be very visible at night (or in deep water ) so I'd have to say "Close, but no cigar..." to the person who designed that watch [Edit to add] Sorry, I take that back... I just saw the tiny dots of lume above the batons Those're gonna be really visible Edited November 29, 2007 by TeeJay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Tracy Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Would love to have both !! Though the Blancpain is way overdue ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Personally, I think these watches are amongst the poorest representations of the brand. There are some really mesmerizing and jaw-dropping Breitlings out there, both highly complicated and standard, which would be ten times nicer to see repped. Moreover, there are some fantastic Breitlings already being produced that could use a few minor improvements to become real best-sellers. These new models from Breitling look like someone took a Submariner and said "let's design a watch like this" and, on that particular day, the design division was a little exhausted and wanted to go home early.

JWR Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 the blancpain is absolutely gorgeous. i looove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therebel Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I've been drooling over the FF for a while now. I'd be all over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 How sweet would it be to have a two-watch case with one of those beauties on the left and the reissue on the right?!! @corgi I kind of agree with your thinking on the Superocean--they're not groundbreaking & wouldn't even be that interesting if they just did a 40mm black and/or silver dial version like Rolex etc...what make's them attractive to me are the particular shades bronze and blue, both of which are unusual and interesting in dive watches (the pic is off--the bronze is unbelievably gorgeous in person and the blue is a nice steel blue like panerai uses on the 120, 082, etc) the size (46mm, I think), and their complete and total reppability.

ironmarshal Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 The Blancpain is nice, but I'd much rather see the Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver repped instead. Now that's a beautiful watch, and again the gen to super-rep price ratio would be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tag Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I've been dreaming about the modern FF since I handled it at the Basel fair... Very confortable despite it's size. I would love to get a vintage edition but too risky to me: too many fake/modded items at a rather high price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
