dorgenss Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 What is your opinion about Phong Blancpain ? The only Blancpain rep, but the price.......
Nanuq Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Beautiful piece, but the radiation emblem on the dial puts me off. There are other vintage models that are more subtle and I think he'd sell a lot more. This is a perpetual empty spot in the rep world, and people have been clamoring for years for a good Fifty Fathoms, at a price lower than Phong. Heck even a rep of the current retro model with the sapphire bezel insert... THAT would be hot.
Corgi Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 I have a feeling that a FF rep is going to come out eventually...
lazarini Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Well it shod from all the topics about it and people moaning for one for ages (me included) i just don't see why none from the makers realize this earner opportunity ... sheesh sometimes im amazed by the ... Laz
alt.watch.obsessive Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 The problem is that all the fakes use more or less the same aqua lung dial. I'm not sure why they don't do one of the more classic dials, especially since this is (I believe) a 41-42mm case. I have seen gens with no space between the "no" and the "radiations" but if I were making a fake, I would also put a space there so it doesn't look like an error. BTW, I contacted phong about buying just the case so I could put in a gen dial, but he would not sell anything but the whole watch.
