ZF's Blancpain Fifty Fathoms
- Thread starter PolonusTM
- Start date
Denied my first from the new batch of ZFs as there were some issues. Just received nice QC pics of the replacement and I'm quite happy, really outdid themselves. If anyone wanted I can post them up incase anyone wants to compare to the first batch?
Sure thing not a problem, and yes approved. Let me know what you think, I'm quite happy. It's been such a long wait.

They look nice especially lume color. However they seemed to have changed the font on the v2 bezel again like noob did. The 5 is not correct
Yeah the lume really stuck out to me, great job there.They look nice especially lume color. However they seemed to have changed the font on the v2 bezel again like noob did. The 5 is not correct
I did notice the bottom of the 5 is a little thicker on the ZF, but then the first batch was also similar. Figured I should be happy that the (noticeably) crooked 2 has been fixed.
Other than that I was hoping to get a better shot of the sides of the crown to compare to v1 but I'll have to wait until I get the watch now.
Other then that hopefully I didn't make a mistake approving this, not too knowledge about Blancpains.
I've been known to dabble in blancpains. It looks nice and no civilian would ever know the difference.
Yeah, the butterfly version made for the LeMans shows that they can do the interlocking links pretty well...and get the alternating brush/polished finish, (even if they can get the screws in all the way....)
Those screws are so frickin annoying on genYeah, the butterfly version made for the LeMans shows that they can do the interlocking links pretty well...and get the alternating brush/polished finish, (even if they can get the screws in all the way....)
but the bracelet is so comfortable. Nothing compares currently. And the clasp on the ff is amazing durable and strongYeah thats for sure.
Was just looking around a bit more as I'm quite excited to receive the watch, and happened upon this picture of a Gen vs ZF and I'm actually thinking that the ZF/v2's have a more accurate 5 on the bezel. Granted its not perfect but seems much more accurate than the skinny 5 on the Noob V1's, with the Noob V2 def being a better representation than the ZF.
Was this what you meant? Just trying to understand and become a little more knowledgeable :graman:

Hi there
I was on a wait list as well as it was out of stock when I ordered 6 weeks ago.
I received it a few days ago and it is lush. The 2 is still abut crooked but that the only flaw. Otherwise spot on with a good quality clicking bezel.
The blue zf will be 3-4 months and if it's any good I will
Flip this for that as I do seem to have a lot of black driver style watches

Hey thanks for the feedback. Would you be able to do me a favor and let me know what number you got on the back of your watch? Pic if you can id like to compare, otherwise just curious about the number.
Awesome thanks!! I guess there is a large variety in the numbers, haven't seen a duplicate yet!

I was a bit skeptical about the size, too. Received my FF yesterday and have to say that it is a FANTASTIC watch and wears really great. My wristsize is 17cm
