I am looking for one of these now. I saw a couple of chrono's and a tourbillion version on Lay's site, which are really nice, but I want the standard 3-hand simple dial version. Anyone have an opinion on the best, or some of the better dealers for this model? (sub clone is in the works too, just have to pick a vendor for this one too).

There isn't one. Either you get a vintage Fifty Fathoms from Davidsen, or you get a more complicated version of the modern FF.

There does seem to be a noticeable difference in quality between the low-end and high-end FF Chronos. Other than the movements (quartz vs. 7750), the strap looks much nicer on the expensive version, as do details on the dial. I've only handled the cheaper version up close, and the overall look wasn't very impressive.

I am looking for the same one, or the chrono version in stainless steel or PVD, needs to be high beat for the better looking dial, the quartz looks wrong with the silver edging on the sub dials and incorrect spacing. Even on the 7750 the spacing is still incorrect, I also think the date may be sunken as with the 7750 navitimer but can not confirm this. I was looking at the Gen on tuesday and it is a fanastic watch especially in black.

No one seems to have bought one recently and provided any feedback to my questions, Davidson only does vintage, I have MR looking for one for me, i will let you know if I have any success.

thanks
