These watches are out of this world! I've just treat my rose gold one to a bespoke ABP croco strap which nearly cost as much as the watch!
I just need the blue one now!


These watches are absolutely superb.....I just need the blue one now!

Seriously need to try one of these badboys! Hesitant to buy upwards of 42mm.. Had a gen SOH 46 earlier.. Went TC sub, never looked back. I actually really like the rose gold FF, which is unusual for me. Has anyone compared the color with a gen?

Don´t worry about size, it´s huge, wears like a 48mm PAM submariner, here it´s next to a 42mm Seiko Enjoy

and next to a PAM386

Thanks, it´s a Seiko SNZH57 with the dial/ hands and insert mod, I wear it when the BP feels to big or when I go swim

In regards to the No Radiations by NOOB ask your trusted dealer to make sure the crystal is level, Don't take a watch with an uneven crystal, Mine was very slight but its not as easy as changing the gasket and repressing the crystal!!!

It's an incredible watch, shame about my 6.5 inch wrist. I'd love a NO RADs version on a distressed leather band.

Well if mine doesn't get fixed to my satisfaction it might go on the M2M block at a very good price.

 

[Thrasher]

Well just as a follow up for future reference Tagfan1 fixed my uneven crystal and waterproofed the watch. He had a lot of good comments about the construction of this watch, so if your on the fence don't hesitate. you may recall my watch is the Blancpain NOOB FF with "No Radiations" dial. I'm sure the quality of construction inside and out that Tag was impressed with apply to the regular NOOB FF as well.
Pictures when the watch returns.

Just got this back from Tagfan1 today, he did a wonderful job of leveling the crystal that passed my Loupe test with flying colors!!! A+++ Tag. I also installed a Hamilton cordura strap that I had Eric make for my big wrist.

Just received mine 2 weeks ago, stunning watch...Every detail is spot on!!

The only thing I'm no sure is the power reserve, after wearing continuously for 4 days, the PR is only about +/- 26 hrs, is it average/normal for this beautiful FF?

Many thanks in advance.

Beats me I haven't actually had mine on my wrist that much to notice, I'm sure its a A2836 so eventually you can throw in a swiss movement if you want

You may not move enough to wind it up completely, esp for office job.

Try manual wind it with 40-50 rounds, then leave it on the desk to see how long it runs

Hi guys,

Thank you Thrasher and Shiro T!

Will try the manual wind 40-50 rounds and hope things get better.

Cheers and again thanks!
