Vintage style BP reps?

For the sake of my sanity, can someone please tell me who I need to contact in order to purchase a vintage style (1950) BP FF? I've seen a few floating around on various forums, but I am still at a complete loss as to where one can be obtained. I've already contacted Davidsen, but as of yet, I'm still to receive a reply.

Thanks.

Davidsen, but he has his pics hosted by Photobucket on his 'website' and nothing is visible:

Send him a message, tell him what you want.

Yes I know it says hommage, they aren't sterile, they have logos.

Appreciated, thanks:) Any idea how much he charges?

For a FF a few years ago it was a little under $300 IIRC, they are reasonably good value for money watches, not put together with junk parts.

Sounds reasonable. Fingers crossed I can get in contact with him. It seems his online presence has been somewhat limited lately.

Anyone know a good source for BPFF black ceramic models?

Well, I'm yet to hear back from Davidsen, although it is only early days. In the meantime, I've made contact with MKii watches, who appear to do a rather nice looking Tornek-Rayville; although I haven't a clue when they'll actually be in-stock. Lastly, if by some stroke of luck, someone here has one to sell, please let me know.

I never did get anywhere with this; Davidsen didn't reply and MK2 watches still haven't opened their pre orders. So....the search continues. As before, if anyone has one or knows where I can get one, lmk. Cheers.

I got sick of waiting for a response from Davidsen, and Phong has increased his prices to an absurd level imo. I ended up finding one via other means.

That is quite a beauty. Could you share your "other means"? I wouldn't mind seeing that on my wrist from time to time.

Thanks!
