alt.watch.obsessive Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Some of you may remember that I was lucky enough to send the first PM when Arthur put this rare Fifty Fathoms rep up for sale in the member trade area. First, let me say that Arthur is the best
tmg Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 AWO, Great watch, the bracelet looks fantastic on it too I love the FF and all its history. Thanks for sharing!
SubFrog Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 That's an absolutely awesome looking FF. I'd like one of those myself. I'm actually not too wild about the bracelet, however. I'd rather a dark strap or a larger linked bracelet. Regardless...great watch!
rodwc Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Those ss bracelets are so comfortable to wear , that you don`t know they are there, especially when they warm up to body temperature. Also, they don`t show any wear marks, or light scratches. A great alternative, especially in warm summers.
Star69 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 holy ... !! 1 of my all time favourites ! congratulations . if anybody know where to get the rep - please let me know. Frank
chris5264 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Nice!!! At some point I might pick up a gen vintage FF,,,,there would definately be a market for a rep, I can't figure out why it isn't easily available. The only version I know of is the homage watches.
Guest avitt Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 You could always consider this homage from Eddie at Timefactors, the PRS-50:
rek001 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Oooh...nice! Love the mesh strap too. Don't flame me but I prefer this over vintage SD. But, 36mm? A bit small, no?
chris5264 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 You could always consider this homage from Eddie at Timefactors, the PRS-50: nice,,,,,,,almost picked up this exact watch used but was too late,,,as usual. It is between this and the mkii stingray.
ahchard Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Just wondering what a gen Blancpain fifty fathoms milspec 1 would be worth? Saw one for sale in our local auction site. Pretty good condition too...
eunomians Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 Just wondering what a gen Blancpain fifty fathoms milspec 1 would be worth? Saw one for sale in our local auction site. Pretty good condition too... Suffice it to say... A ton.
chris5264 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 Not sure I will ever go for the gen,,,but this will do for a while....just in today
