An interesting pic
Just one pic, for once, but an interesting one, about the strong relation between the Past and the Present.
Lip Blancpain versus Fifty Fathoms 50th Anniversary.
The size is not exactly the same ( 1mm more for the Lip Blancpain ), nor the overall finish ( Ceramic bezel for the 50th Anniversary + a kind of preciously finished dial ), but the spirit is obviously here:
Baton and numeral indexes, 3/6/9/12 dial, very close bezel, same legibility, like an " air de famille " indeed!
Enjoy.
Best,

The Cold and luxurious perfection of the Re Edition. The Warm and beautiful charm of the Vintage. Best, Nicolas
Certanlly interesting...

Emilio, I fear you're totally done, my friend
You obviously caught the Vintage Virus! I have some medicine for you... Best, Nicolas
Nice picture, Nicolas!
Great to see the familial connection between these two watches on display. I do love the warmth, and saucer shape of the vintage, but given the choice, I'd go for the elegant and glossy anniversary edition. The FF 50th anniversary looks like a watch James...
Will have to make a side by side pic of the 2003 and 2007
To fully appreciate the differences between these 2 re interpretations of the FF.. I recently add a cult FF watch in my collection, and was tempted to sell the 2003 to fund it. I renunciated... I love it so much, for what it is...A beautiful watch, nicely...
Wonderful picture and a correction
Love the shot. Nice to see different generations of Fifty Fathoms together! But there is one correction to be made. The Anniversary Fifty Fathoms and todays Fifty Fathoms do not have ceramic bezels. Instead the bezels are fashioned out of sapphire. This i...
You're absolutely correct, Jeff.
I stand corrected, and I have to say that each time I make the same mistake! Thanks for the correction! Best, Nicolas
