Kudos to Blancpain on this iteration of the FF!
Perhaps in the years to come they will release a non limited 40mm without the moisture indicator?
In any case this one is a beauty! Looking forward in learning more about it.
Thanks for sharing, Mathias.

Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC

Just fantastic...and it's 40mm! Now I'm struggling between this and the new Seamaster 300... Best, Matthias...
I like it...

And a good case size. Looking forward to some live photos.
This is very cool!

Finally they listen to the customer, 40mm in this will kill it. Very nice

no date please
This.

Faithful to the original. Modern size without going over the top. Any word on the movement? J
It's equipped with the 1151...
By: shortys home : March 22nd, 2017-07:16
... the updated version with silicon hairspring. I suppose the wonderful cal 1315 will just not fit a 40mm case... Love this one!!! Cheers Henrik ...
So cool !

Very nice dial and size !! At least a wearable FF. A well balanced dial/layout/bezel... I need one !

not that bad

nicolas you are not a date fan anyway. it worth a visit to Blancpain retailer
Moisture indicator
By: almapama : March 23rd, 2017-02:08
I agree about the date. I wonder if the moisture indicator actually works...
A complication

to support BP service centres? First live picture just appeared on Hodinkee, btw.
LOL! [nt]

First step in the right direction

This is the first Fifty Fathoms there is coming the "I want to have it feeling". I can make friendship with the date. Size is good. Indicator is fine. Blue instead of orange would be more closed to the original. All in all.... Bravo Blancpain! Best regard...
40mm! Yasss!
By: brandon1 : March 22nd, 2017-08:46
And good choice of hands as well. Can\'t wait to see this one. Bravo Blancpain! Cheers, Brandon
Size
By: almapama : March 23rd, 2017-02:11
A 42mm/13mm version without the date would be great. At 40mm it might be a tad too small (due to the thick bezel), but I look forward to seeing the life pictures.
Fan of everything except the date
By: reintitan : March 22nd, 2017-12:06
Why ruin its good looks? And the awkward placement at 4:30. Sad. If they had to add the date (they didn't) then put it at least at 3:00 where it is more balanced.
I think they did a good job too.
By: Briandumais : March 23rd, 2017-08:21
The size is great but i could also loose the date. I think if they had to used the date it should have been in the 15 position like this revolution. The revolution was also 40 mm and has a matt case. The brown nato is most excellent. Cool watch too. Brian...

Pricing seems a little too high, I agree. For one simple reason...
By: shortys home : March 28th, 2017-08:53
...the calibre 1151. Even with being updated with silicon balance, it warrants more price discount compared to the calibre 1315 equipped FFs If the package included all, sailcloth, Nato and bracelet, it would be priced fair, though Cheers Henrik
