Wish all members a prosperous and happy lunar new year 😊

Thank you, Nico. I find the “ghost” or “faded” look of ceramic bezel being the most attractive feature 😊

Agreed. But I would go farther and say that this is a whole in this watch which makes it so appealing.

A Beauty.

For me the most beautiful Fifty Fathoms ever produced. ...  

Thank you, Tom. Your gorgeous shots of Act 3 have long poisoned me.

It’s my third Fifty Fathoms, after Barakuda and Hodinkee version of Mil-Spec. Agreed that the case and bezel make it the most attractive modern FF😊

Enjoy! Looks great on you!

Thank you, Agyzace. The lug to lug distance is slightly long, though still manageable 😅

I tried it on and it was the same for me

The one thing I am perplexed they missed is that the bezel is not crystal. It is so Blancpain and it would look like bakelite of old. Very perplexed about that tbh. But it’s a beauty nonetheless!

I get your point, Agyzace. Crystal bezel is indeed an iconic feature of modern FF. This ceramic bezel with lume markings are also very very nice :)

Looks great indeed!

Congrats by the way!

Thank you, KC. It grows on my wrist.

Huge congrats!

A stunner of a watch! Thank you for sharing and enjoy it to the fullest, Alex

Thank you, Alex. It will be a regret if I didn't grab it in time :)

Wear it while visiting a popular traditional local amusement park with family

...  

Oh la la, even nicer!

 
By: amanico : February 12th, 2024-15:50

Merci, mon ami :)

 
By: joenghenry : February 13th, 2024-02:56

I hope to see it in person one day.

That is a beauty. I worked in HK years ago and that photo brings back memories. Had a great time there. 👍
