Pre-Basel ...
During a quick lunch in the sun, I looked at my watch and started to think about the Fifty Fathoms.
The original Fifty Fathoms was already introduced in 1953.
The Fifty Fathoms 50s Anniversary was introduced in 2003.
Of course it looked much better on the wrist, especially on that very famous one 
Excursion: The first real new modern Fifty Fathoms was introduced in 2007.
It was and still is my favorite one (so far) and I hope you don´t mind if I will share some pictures I found on my computer
But back to the main reason of my post. 1953 ... 2003 ... 2013!
What has Blancpain under their sleeve for the 60s Anniversary of the Fifty Fathoms?
Only a few more days ...

i wondered why you sold your 50 fathoms!!
planning the next purchase i see regards darma
Flip-frenzy
Plan A involved a complex series of flips to get into a TTAL, but then I decided to put the brakes on and wait for the (expected) 60th Anniv. model. If the model does not appear, then either the TTAL or a new blue dial/brushed case re-enters the equation!...
Can't wait...
... to see what Blancpain presents in Basel. On the speculation they would show a new generation of the Fifty Fathoms, I reckon that it might be too early to discontinue the 6 year old line up, the previous Trilogy series ran for about 10 years... And cle...
Can´t wait!
Great write up, Oliver! I have always admired the shots of your FF, one I would love to own, if it weren´t for my smallish wrist. If only they made a smaller one... Could that be in store for the 60th anniversary? If not, I will still give this one anothe...
Hi Alex ...
I am not sure if your wrist is smaller than mine :-) Thanks, for your kind words! Oliver
