Yes, I did in spring 2010. It is in good hands I hope 
I did a total overhaul at Blancpain early in 2011 and it is like new ever since. All my other watches, since I got this one and the 45mm (strap) version in 2008, have become sleepers FF's are addictive!
I would appreciate it endlessly if you could help me identify a good piece from the ones mentioned. I look for a long time and never come across one.
Thank you for your kindness and all the very best,
Alexandros
New Fifty Fathoms in 2013?
Hi guys, I am pondering whether to buy the Fifty Fathoms Tribute to Aqua Lung, or to wait for 2013, when is the 60th anniversary of the series, and Blancpain might introduce a new version of my favourite watch. I already own the 50th anniversary model (I ...
Basel is just over, and you're already thinking about the ' 13 edition? :)
Yes, my guess is that we'll have a new FF in 2013. I would be you, I would wait, and to help you to wait, I would try to hunt one of these gorgeous Vintage FFs... That would be logical, since you have the 2 most interesting modern FFs, till now. Best, nic...
thanks a lot Nicolas !
Your opinion counts a lot to me. The 50th anniversary that I still own, is the n.7 serial, which I think you used to own My ideal scenario would be exactly what you said, but I am unable to find my dream vintage Fathoms.. I am looking for months and month...
Wow!
I didn't know you got my ex Nr 7!!! Amazing. Finding a vintage FF is a question of patience, my friend. And the hunt is so rewarding. I knew 2 or three TR 900 for sale in the last 12 months, but they have gone in a snap. Will open my eyes for you. Best, N...

So you're the one who bought it from a parisian dealer???
World is small, indeed! It is a wonderful story, Alexandros. Cherish it. I sold it only to fund a vintage FF.... I will keep my eyes open, no worries. I am waiting for scans of a no rad which was offered to me and will put you in contact with him, if the ...

Thank you so much, Nicolas. You are an extremelly kind person! My dream version is either the Aqua Lung version or the Civilian version of the Milspec, like the one you had posted in one of your reviews (see below/watch on top with black strap, I tried to...
Yes, I am the one who bought it from the Parisian dealer
Bought it back in May 2010 I think, and I was always wondering why would someone sell this marvel. But to be honest, I had suspected the reason you mentioned
Ok, will see. The Civilian Milspec is superb, and has gone in a friendly house.
As for the 50th Anniversary, well, I couldn't keep it for that reason, and I had very good moments with it! Best, Nicolas
Ok Nicolas, thanks a lot
As said, I am trully humbled and delighted you are willing to help me! The Civilian Milspec is a true grail. Happy for its owner! All the very best and talk to you soon I hope, Alexandros
No clue on a new FF in 2013...
... I do not even know which versions of the FF have been introduced during this year's Baselworld :-( What I do know is the Fifty Fathoms Tribute to Aqua Lung being a truly amazing timepiece cheers Henrik...
These are some nice pictures
Wonderful watch and wonderful pictures. Would be nice to see the see-through back as well, if you have some pictures. Best regards, Alexandros
wonderful watch!!!
Those photos make me love the moderns FF. I hope in future buy a modern FF no radiations.... Thank you for show it! Mario
You are one of the very first to have it on your wrist, my friend.
Congratulations. As per the new FF, I meant the one introduced in 2012, it is the FF X1... The Depthmeter. Best, Nicolas
small update
A Blancpain retailer in Zurich showed me a catalogue with the novelties for 2012 from Blancpain and it includes a blue stainless steel version of the standard FFathoms, with blue strap as well. Other details seem to include fully brushed case, like the Aq...
time for some speculation/information on FF 2013
I thought of reviving this old forum, since Baselworld is fast approaching. I asked the other day at a Blancpain boutique and apparently they know what's coming, since they have received booklets with the novelties and they have seen pictures as well. I a...
I really have no damn idea.
I would be in for a 42 mm FF, a no date version, with a sandblasted case... Hmmmm... But I doubt we'll get that... Well, we'll soon see! Best, Nicolas
that would be amazing Nicolas
What I am wondering, and although I dream of a 42mm version, is how will they manage not to kill the current versions' sales. The blue stainless steel version has hardly hit the stores and a new 42mm version would definitely stop most 45mm sales imho. Let...
Yes, but some are very happy with the 45 mm case.
So, it may also be a different market, for guys who pay interest to the historical roots of the product, errrrrr, I meant, the watch. ;) Best, my good friend. Nicolas
very correctly reflected
as always, you are more than right Nicolas. That would be a good way to have two sizes active, at the same time. Let's see what they have in store for us all :-) Have a great afternoon, dearest Nicolas, Alexandros
