Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.

[cybee]

I guess it's just wishful thinking but I hope someday a rep is made of this watch. I think the new version is nice with a black kevlar strap with rubber inner lining and nice size at 45mm...but at $11,000 that is an expensive divers watch...oh well nothing to do but wait and hope.

We can only hope cybee... Look at the gen... Sapphire bezel with lume underneath it, in house movement with double barrel... We can only hope

Wow..I think that is just about the coolest lume I've seen...well takashi if you hear of any word about this watch please let me know.

Here is the video...there is a very brief lume shot at the end, if you're quick you can pause the lume shot.

I am seriously considering the genuine article of this watch. Very beefy on the wrist and with that hefty price tag, I am waiting for a second hand piece(this will pop up sometimes in Singapore) and a good bargain. Blancpain didn't hold its value very much just like Girrard Perregaux.
This watch has been reviewed extensively on Chronos Magazine in Germany a few months ago. Very good piece, you need special tools to swap to bracelet (extra $$$$).

 

[cybee]

Yes this is one watch I would spring for, used of course, apparently there is a very high demand for new ones. For now we can only hope for a rep to be made.

 

[takashi]

I agree Blancpain, what? The brand is very subtle and only watch aficionados know about it.

I've hold in my hands the gen several times and it's fantastic....but the bezel it's so hard to rep

A must have if it comes out...

 

[Klink]

all it takes

is buy genuine

first though

finding out what rep dudes want to produce..

likely they will say 'no that popular'

when is obvious to us is goody goody nice to make.. buy an sell..

[takashi]

Ah! Good suggestion Klink. Used genuine is about 5000USD (yes, that's half price from retail).

Thanks for your kind word Klink. Even the Trilogy version has been selling about 3750USD-4000USD mark.

 

[pirvan]

around 8000 eur in several Madrid Ad.

 

[takashi]

That's already discounted price They just change Eur to USD for US market but maintaining the numbers.

 

[Klink]

best thing you can do?

buy a dozen

then contribute two to forum for raflle

you still have ten left..

 

[red71veloce]

Why is the bezel so hard to rep? Is it ceramic? I love this watch. Used and discounted it still is more expensive than say a superocean heritage new. I hope they rep it eventually.

The new Fifty Fathoms might be my favourite watch these days. Too bad it's a bit too pricey. Let's hope the second hand value is bad ;-)

@ Everybody... If you like the Trilogy version(s) then you can find a close homage in the Invicta Ocean Ghost(s)...
