Here are some I could take in picture:

One I never owned, and one which is very high in my wish list. 

Enjoy,

This “original,” great diver, on a rubber tropic strap is spectacular! [nt]

Yes, it is. A very good one, even if not my favorite when it comes to vintage FF. [nt]

Well... if I had this,

would def be one of the “favorites” in my stable.

Don't get me wrong, it is a great watch, but there are more charming and important vintage Fifty Fathoms, in my opinion. [nt]

Agreeing Dear Sir, even if the words..

don’t fully convey the meaning, .

;) [nt]

this one is awesome in different and strong way [nt]

 
 By: Gelato Monster : May 25th, 2020-11:18

Yes, compared to the other FFs, yes. [nt]

I find the dial and bezel match so well. I really like this one. Never seen this vintage piece but have seen and tried on the re-edition before it even came out last year...

maybe I should have picked this up when I was offered one. Too late now 🤷‍♂️ ...  

Not bad, indeed, even if I would have preferred to see the bezel of the vintage. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 25th, 2020-11:28

True, I also prefer the vintage bezel. The No Radiation re-edition has the same type of bezel [nt]

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : May 25th, 2020-11:36

Correct! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 25th, 2020-11:52

+1 the vintage is perfect.

 
 By: Gelato Monster : May 25th, 2020-13:29
I personally like the full round marker instead of 0-15 marker

Same here! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 25th, 2020-13:34

the same reason why 5517 is also my grail [nt]

 
 By: Gelato Monster : May 25th, 2020-14:16

And the Seamaster 300 165024! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 25th, 2020-14:19

To be honest 165024 is more gorgeous than 5517 [nt]

 
 By: Gelato Monster : May 26th, 2020-00:55

Ssssshhhh between us, I agree. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2020-01:46

😉☺👍👍 [nt]

Good this is not R...x thread

Hehehe... Yes! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2020-02:58

Great [nt]

Thanks for looking! [nt]

Wow! What a piece! [nt]
