are there any factories still making Fifty Fathoms

[Bobandhisbronco]

the choices are very slim at TD's as they don't update their sites.

I can’t say for sure
But, should be available

Fifty Fathoms probably ZF ( Z factory)

Also
Bathyscaphe
Barakuda
Blancpain/swatch

ZF seems to be the best one right now and their most recent iteration is often called NWBIG.

I am also looking to buy one. Thanks.

As far as I know the Barakuda is out of stock everywhere. I am searching for one myself. Let me know if you find something.

I checked a dozen TDs. No ZF FF is available . I haven’t checked for bathyscapes.
A shame that I missed it.

IIRC, Noob (long out of production) and ZF were neck and neck for best BPFF. I have a ZF, and have had my eye out for a Noob, just to see them side by side and compare them.

I'm sure someone did a thread at one point, but haven't been able to find it.

ZF or Noob, neither one seems to last long when it pops up M2M.

So I checked a lot of dealers. ZF and GSF out of stock everywhere. One of my contacts was able to offer one from an "unknown" factory for 1700 RMB but it was pretty bad so I declined. If anyone got one to sell contact me.

Guys, why not wait for the newly released 42mm FF to be repped? You can bet your bottom dollar ZF are on the case (literally and metaphorically)!!

actually when coming to rep, my preference is solid caseback...

I think it'll be at least a year before the 42mm comes out lol

Has anyone bought this FF OMF factory yet? wondering if quality is at least close to the ZF versions.

Don't expect wonders with OMF and chronographs like that. I'm sure it's fine but modified 7750 chronos are always pretty meh.
