Why has is not come yet? Has it been scrapped?

Just look at the other pieces that have come out. No reason this hasn't.

A beauty, for sure but it seems too difficult to have a really accurate REP at this time and the demand for this watch isn't probably enough to replicate it correctly or improve it with best updates ...

I've been wondering this myself, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat. I do wish the hour and minute hands were halved in thickness on the gen though, it's sorta odd looking in hand.

The dial is absolutely stunning in person though, light plays off the indices and sunburst dial noticeable across a room. I would hope the rep could come close to that effect

I never thought about the hand thickness. Good point.

I hope I'll have time to visit the Blancpain Boutique next time I'm near Union Square, SF.

This is one I keep hoping for. The display back will prevent a true super rep but the watch could still be great from the front, while I like the Fifty Fathoms better I would add one of these immediately.

Yeah, I'll not worry about the caseback. I wear these things only for myself anyway.

Great AR

Good working movement
Water proof

I was just thinking about this the other day as well. And half thinking of just trying out the bad black dial one that seems to be available. I've stated before, even just get a close to the grey sunburst dial, and I'm in.

I'd be up for a rep of this if it was even close. Agreed, [MENTION=85658]umaso[/MENTION], sunburst is key. The back could have a picture mickey mouse for all I care. While I'm dreaming, can we add the fifty fathom bathyscaphe chronograph to the list?

Good luck, Noob is actually discontinuing the BPFF due to cost vs. intricacy of parts and labor.
Yeah, as usual.
They'll "discontinue" it, members will start selling for $800, and then an "anonymous" supplier will magically order 500 units and sell them to the dealers who in turn will sell them for $700 [emoji41]

Has this been repped yet? I want this watch to be worn around my wrist so badly.
