In case you don't know...

I've drooled over the Blancpain FF for years now and am currently sourcing parts to build one.

It's not just the great vintage design and feel of the watch but the history behind it.

Designed by a real life killer Rambo, for more "precise" killin...

Some history here :

Thanks Denis....very interesting...love the Blacpain FF and i for one didn't know the history of it.

I believe too much credit is given to rolex when it comes to diving instruments.

Yes they improved and drew up a classic design but without Maloubier and Blancpain...

They wouldn't have the bezel we know today.
