Any updates on if they will rep the 40mm No Radiations? ZF should be able to use the case and movement from the current Barrakuda no? Not to be greedy, would be nice if they cleaned up the rep movement 1151.

I haven't heard of anything. If we all bug our TDs enough word should make it back to the factories. And then hopefully they act on it
I want this watch so bad

You would think that. I have been waiting for this 40mm rep for a long time now

It might not be long,
These are just starting to pop up on ali express and ebay, with the triangle at 12 bezel insert (correct for no radiations version) and apart from not having the engraving or display case back it's the same case as the zf barakuda so keep an eye out

I really hope you are right. If they finally release some of the other 40mm blancpains that would be really nice. The 45mm ones are just nonsensical.
GS Factory just released ones which you can find on the Chinese (non-TD) sites.
The datewheel on the photos look off though. The Only Watch version doesn't have a date and looks fine.

Gimme a no rad, milspec, 38mm bathyscaphe and a "regular" fifty fathoms in 40mm along with my barrakuda and ill gladly kick all my subs to the curb, I do declare.
They really need to rep the bracelets aswell...
Just asked Andrew about the GS Factory models, he said he hasn't gotten them yet, however he didnt say it was BS. So looks like it's only a matter of time, he may list them soon on trusty. Exciting stuff. The noob v1 45mm no rad was one of the first reps I blew a lot of money on back when I thought big watches were cool.

PT has it now. It looks like the datewheel was fixed. The one I saw on another site had datewheel that was totally off, particularly for single digits. The PT one looks fine. I can't speak to the rest of the watch though, and will let those with much keener eyes comment.

Also noticed:
The "1" and "4" on the bezel seem a bit thin. It was a problem with some batches with the original FF.
The "No Radiations" symbol is a touch to small. It is only noticeable if you look with the gen side to side, but once you see it, it is quite obvious.

I think that's just a bad camera shot. The other pictures seem okay. The Only Watch edition has crisp text.

I started the ordering process for both references, will update on how the QC pics look when I get them, whenever that may be.
I ordered one but not the orange version, hand colour is a bit off compared with the gen , maybe it's better in person but I'll wait and see

I think it looks a little funky too. However, there is only one gen in the world, right? They only made one of these for the only watch auction, atleast that's how I interpreted itI ordered one but not the orange version, hand colour is a bit off compared with the gen , maybe it's better in person but I'll wait and see
I think so yeah,
I would like to see them do the hodinkee milspec as well as that also shares the same case ,hopefully we'll see that one next
It's my favourite one out of all the 40mm fifty fathoms

No, así de malo. Tal vez control de calidad, pero ¿por qué enviar esta muestra por la puerta?
....and date font is too fine
