121g with strap.

121g with strap.

that's less than a DSSD right?

 

[OPdestrolover]

My DSSD is 210g with metal bracelet, so nearly double.

Then it should be a feather on the wrist!

 

[OPdestrolover]

It is substantially lighter on the wrist than a DSSD.

 

[OPdestrolover]

DSSD : 44mm
BPFF : 45mm

I will get one. Thanks. Droolingly nice watch!

I am absolutely in love with the BFF! This is the Davidsen? Or Noob? I see it called both, please forgive my ignorance.

Davidsen is the vintage one, Noob is the new one, as above.

There is only a Noob version of the Fifty Fathoms, gen is reference 5015-1130-52, available.
No other factories have produced this model so far.
Quite a few vintage models available @ DSN (but those are 41mm compared to the 45mm of the actual 5015).

Here is a link to the DSN vintage models:

How do I order a noob 5015 from a TD? All happy with the TD quality of their 5015?

Read different dealer sections. Once you read their reviews and decide which one you want to go with, figure out their preferred method of communication by reading their stickies. Boom.

Best rep I've ever owned. I got one with a brand new Sellita SW-200 and, other than realigning the bezel and Loctiting the strap screws, it has been perfectly gen-like out of the box.

I love it so much I had to force myself to stop wearing it and I've not seriously considered buying another rep since.

The only one to tempt me has been the blue FF, which might be on my shopping list soon...

 

[OPdestrolover]

Just one comment from my side:
I agree, one of the best reps I have owned so far. Order for blue FF considered as well (watch out for M2M sale of black one ).
And with my lug screws there hasn't been one issue so far, came tightly screwed, I DIDN'T use Loctite at all, changed straps a few times, and no problems whatsoever in over 6 weeks now (with lots of wrist time).
Bezel was ok as well and couldn't find any other flaw so far.
Superb gen and rep watch !

Great. Mine's at ISC NY, has been for 3 days. D:

 

[mclarendude]

Well gents, tomorrow's the day. Delivery day!

Need help....
Does the 45 placement looks closer to the inner bezel? And the number 4 looks smaller?

 

[jcagara08]

Lovely watch, I only get to see one on boutiques..
Any idea how much the OEM Brady strap and the SS Bracelet costs?
Is there an Swiss ETA version of this or simply we can install one?

 

[OPdestrolover]

Version with Swiss ETA / Selitta is available.
