SanFranDiver Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'd buy a super-rep of the 50 Fathom in less than a heartbeat. It's so much nicer than the Breitling Super Ocean Heritage or Omega Planet Ocean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronos twin Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'm in. Wholeheartedly! And since I have multiple personalities, I count for at least 5 votes! The 50F is Beautiful and would sell well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 So.... Bear with me here... I'm trying to wrap my brain around this. The factories will rep a Baume & Mercier Riviera, but they won't do a Fifty Fathoms?! WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siesta181 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) I had a discussion with Taka and Coolfire yesterday with regards to whats gets repped well and what doesn't.... it all boils down to this...... The factories have no sense of good taste. Come on!!!! the C1? Not many actually busted their credit limits in gtting that one, did they? The sharp drops in prices is a clear indication that its an utter failure I think they should rep FF and rep it well ... a breath of fresh air from the Omegas, rollies and tags. Blanpain brand awareness is not great so rep wearers will not get called out too often or if at all. Cheers Siesta Still waiting for good Port 7 Days rep.

lazarini Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Its a nice watch... truth to be told i even considered getting the genuine but things changed when i handled the gen. in Vienna at an AD. Still a gorgeous watch nevertheless a good rep would be a nice alternative. Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Actualy there's two. Bill Yao's company MKII enterprises makes a homage version of the 3H model used by German Navy combat divers. The gen 3H The MKII homage. The gen BP MVT Note the size of the O ring seal! If they make a 50 they should make an 3H as well. They would make a nice pair in a double box. Col.

trailboss Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I actualy prefer the very plain 3H to the civy version. The crown at 4 makes a nice change as well. Note the markerless bezel. With rebreathers your endurance is mesured off the hour hand! It's just so unadorned and allmost stark. The MKII shows this to even more effect with even less on the dial. It allmost feels like it belongs in the Tate. The problem here lies with the fact that allthough bound to be popular here on the boards it prob won't do that well out in the wild. Joe average won't buy it in droves. And Joe buys many more watches than we do 'cause there's ten million Joes out there and about thirty thousand of us. Col.

pezzy Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 just want to bump this thread to spark more interest. this watch MUST be repped in 2009, preferably early 2009 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I think i will just buy a Presista PRS 50 and be done with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 That Presista looks like a nice watch Andy. Around $500 US, it's a little more expensive than a rep, but with a good 2824-2 and WR to 200 meters, it wouldn't be a 50 yard dash in the rain, so to speak. Very nice.
