Started out with a Rose Gold FF bought in December 2014, followed by the Blue Dial version in April 2015. I really didn't have a great deal of interest in the S/S black dial version. Had too many black dial watches (So I thought) . Fast forward to January 2017. I sold a few watches, thinking I would "thin the herd" so to speak. Of course this never really happens. You sell a few and next thing you know the bug hits you and you are buying again!! I read a few threads here about the different versions V1 vs V2, and I decided to look for a V1. It took several weeks along with" want to buys" on all the rep forums. Even PM'ed a few guys who had bought V1's in the past hoping that someone wanted to sell. after a few weeks of searching, I got a PM from a fellow member who was looking to sell his V1, ordered the first day that they were released. We made a deal, and I got the watch. From my standpoint, there probably isn't a finer rep, or any that are as close to genuine right out the box as the BP Fifty Fathoms, especially the S/S.
The RG is sporting a gen OEM BP Sailcloth strap otherwise they are all just as they came out the box.
So here assembled for the first time is my little Fifty Fathoms collection.

Beautiful FF collection. Couldn´t wait for the FF to be released - so I have another kind of "Tres Amigos":)

not on this pic above, but one of them is always on a SS bracelet - for a nice variety and good for a swim

@zethunder I'm your huckleberry. My Ali one was a pos Quartz. Tried to replace with a 7753 I bought for it to swap. Crappy flat back and glass meant too shallow to fit the 7753. So now I have a spare Flyback dial (good actually, same as noob I think) and strap (same also) and shitty case. Bezel looks decent but the lume is awful. Long story short - I have an extra strap.

There's a nice white one on eBay now for under 7. I almost pulled the trigger but my wife won't wear it apparently. She must be crazy
