camiel Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi all, Has anybody already seen the new Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Chrono from Perfectclones? It looks good to me, this is a watch I have been waiting for a long time. http://www.jpc8118.com/0506-p-5849.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Josh's site is down, but last I checked, if this is similar to Watchedens-- it is QUARTZ!!!! -Ronin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiker01 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I hope this is based on an Original.....which Joshua and company have been doing a lot lately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Josh's site is down, but last I checked, if this is similar to Watchedens-- it is QUARTZ!!!! -Ronin At least that means they got the subdial spacing right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkno Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yeah its a quartz. If you look at http://puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=945 you can see the battery in it. I really like the look, and even like the vintage versions Davidsen is selling but the dial looks so small on the vintage I was hoping for a good rep of the modern FF's.

Coeuss Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah its a quartz. If you look at http://puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=945 you can see the battery in it. I really like the look, and even like the vintage versions Davidsen is selling but the dial looks so small on the vintage I was hoping for a good rep of the modern FF's. The new blancpain is 45mm as compared to the 41 original. I get comments on the one I purchased from DSN everyday and they cant believe its a rep. Of course DSNs is even better than the polish fakes that came out and is probably built better than the original 1953 addition. Of course the only thing the old blancpain and the new blancpain have in common is the name. so if you really think about it the ones DSN are selling are actually legitimate reps as the company that actually made the originals went out of business and the new company just purchased the name. Even they admit that on their blancpain forum. I wish we could get a blancpain modern version san chrono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Let's just hope they make an auto non-chrono model. Fingers crossed! If they come out with one... I'm telling Narikaa to rush one over to my place real fast... this is a dream watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coeuss Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 We can only hope I think this is the one weve been screaming for the last year or so. btw i have a composite band on the dsn one and sail cloth like the one in the pic. i would buy this thing in a heartbeat 9but it has to be an auto) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I love the Davidson 95. Price is an issue. But considering I used to pay 400.00 and 500.00 for MBK's, this series of the FF's at 300.00 (+) is still not a bad deal. The BFF series is a classic.

How does the FF wear? I know its 41mm but sometimes watches wear bigger/smaller than their size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out this discussion http://www.rwg.cc/members/DSN-Blancpain-FF-t91763.html its a 41 mm but looks like a 44 with the bezel. I love this thing. It doesnt even look or feel like a rep. Its very heavy and looks really good, especially after you replace the strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
