I made a deposit for the Fifty Fathoms Barracuda some 7/8 months ago when it was launched but subsequently changed my mind to prefer the Air Command remake. Fortunately, despite being a limited production of 500 pieces, it was available. So I waited patie...  

Thanks

Glad you concur. I polled my friends unofficially and they seem to like it too... I predict it will be my daily beater for some time to come

Wow....I know I can always count

Nice one Sam!

I'm glad we have the internet and some cool watch photos to ogle at.

Retro done in the right way

Thank you for the summary of its qualities/properties and the reminder of its high beating movement. Enjoy your Air Command in good health.

I surely will.

I’ve got no other words for it

Not only that

I like the way it sits on the wrist. Normally steel watches are pretty light, but this one feels more substantial...

Good hunting Sam, many congrats

Vintage vibe without overdoing it. Enjoy !

I don't know why

 
 By: samwan : January 31st, 2020-02:49
But I often find vintage re-editions irresistible.

Thank you [nt]

 
 By: samwan : January 31st, 2020-06:30

Like you . . .

 
 By: Mach : January 31st, 2020-07:52
I originally put a deposit down on the Barakuda and then changed my decision and went for the Air Command!

So I am not alone :) [nt]

This piece is a jawdropper

I was searching for a FF chronograph and searched the forum to find this post from 1 year ago. How are your thoughts of it after owning it for a year?

Excellent acquisition!
