Where is the Aliexpress link?
can you provide a good lume shot?
Thanks thought it was a link that you posted.
The date wheel is correct and the lume isn't bad.
When you factor in the Noob price plus shipping and WU fees, the Aliexpress one is 1/3 of the cost shipped.
That's a pretty good deal for a little less dial lume.
I wouldn't trust the 300m resistance claim on the the Aliexpress listing, LOL.
However, with the similar case, Vac was able to treat my Noob to 5ATM.
Nice box!

Are you guys finding the straps on these to be decent? It's 22mm lugs right?
I just ordered mine and not sure if I'm going to need to get another strap or not.

These are the unusual 23mm size.
Ppl have been squeezing in rubber or leather 24mm, as 22mm will leave a funny looking gap.
I recommend the $29 Bonetto Cinturini 321.
I like sailcloth actually, and the strap is one of my favorite things about the Gen Fifty Fathoms. I use Bradystraps for my other dive watches and was going to get one for this if the stock strap is bad, but it won't work because Bradystrap has integrated springbars and only comes in 22 or 24mm.
So if the stock strap is any decent, I'll just roll with it.
Thanks.

I'm surprised this listing is up. It clearly states "Blancpain Fifty Fanthoms", which is illegal to sell a rep on there. Most watch dealers on Ali usually photoshop the logo/name out and just advertise the watch number or style.
