Good Choice! How about this for a question?!
I'm with you Marcus on the FFs.
I've tracked down a couple of 50th Anniversary FFs and they are about the same cost as the RG versions!
So... is a SS 50th Anni really worth more than double a standard SS FF?
Now that's a question!

Fifty Fathom dilemma, advice would be welcome...
Hi all/Nicolas, I have been looking to get a Fifty Fathom recently in RG. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending how you look at it !, I have been offered several other watches which is now making life difficult! I wish I could buy them all but I need to...
Just aquired a new toy
i was never really a blancpain person until i saw the fifty fathoms. I have always liked them but nothing really made me get that feeling to just go for it. I am sure you all know exactly the feeling i am talking about. So i pulled the trigger and bought ...
i am sure you have heard this many times before
but i am going to say that you should just go with your heart. if i were you, i would pick either the new RG FF or the 50th Anniversary FF. The former for the new movement and RG case; the latter for rarity. i personally feel that from a value point of vi...
This is not a dilemma ...
to have such nice choices. You wrote: "I feel the Fifty Fathom is one of the most stunning watches ever produced so this makes it much harder to choose!" Why? What do you mean exactly? ...? My personal vote would be Nr. 3. Nicolas is on holiday at the mom...
If not a vintage one, I would go...
for the stainless steel 50 Fathoms: the closest to the original (but read Nicolas' post 'Blancpain FF: Original and Re Edition watches' further below!), a true tool (as intended), not a fashion watch or one compromised with weak (and thus questionable) ma...
Thanks Magnus, This post...
...is one of the reasons I am currently so keen to get a FF! They look simply stunning. PM
here are a few to compare
I thought the new Blancpain was too big. Awesome watch but too large....
Hi Peter,
I'd go on a FF 50th Anniversary + a No Rad FF, or a FF Milspec... But the new version is very appealing, too, and I still conider buying it in SS, and hunting a Blancapin Lip FF with the same indexes to make the pair... It may be a nice solution for you, ...
Thanks Nicolas for the...
...advice. I wish I could go for a 50th Anniversary AND a Lip FF LOL! The 50th Anni more than the RG version so I can only go for one at the mo. I'll be sure to keep you up-to-date and post pics when It/they arrive! Regards, PM
Get the FF.
I know a dealer in the Virgin Island that can sell new ones really cheap. If you want to buy a new one email me at [Email address suppressed for privacy] and i will hook you up. If you like a large watch it is awesome. Brian
I just took the plunge to get the new movement FF SS
I think the choice is obvious as the new style watch has improved and exclusive movement and the markers are more streamlined though I really prefer they issue the san date version or have the date window at 3. But as I really love the watch and I do not ...
Like the FF 50th Ann
If you can find one? I notice there are a lot of RG version at my ADs. I love the weigh and the look. But is it worth more than double the ss version? I'm waiting on the SS version myself from my local AD. Marcus
