Fifty Fathoms vs Submariner
Someone asked for some comparo pics. So here we go. Black dials are a pain btw.
Oddly..kinda hard to compare. The FF is a blingy piece..big..bold...its got everything.
The sword hands..the all night lume...layered dial with a hard to capture sunburst dial..that crazy domed crystal and sapphire bezel.
Can't wait to try out different strap combos on it.
The FFB we know and grew to love...is very modern and shall I say...contemporary...the FFB's ceramic bezel being flat...looks fantastic under different lighting..
After doing this..I'm more inclined to think the Bathyscaphe is a better comparison to the Sub..and perhaps the 116600 to the FF.

Re: Fifty Fathoms vs Submariner
What a threesome! The FF is the last of my current Grail desires! Thanks for pumping me up with that one!
Re: Fifty Fathoms vs Submariner
Fantastic photos Mikey as always!
Gotta say though it's very prominent how exaggerated those Sub's lugs are compare to the other two beauties

Nice grail. Unfortunately, these watches are out of my league for now.

Re: Fifty Fathoms vs Submariner
Great photos, amazing watches!
For me the Bathyscape is gorgeous......until you hold it next to the other two, it can't quite compare to the classic lines of the "older" two. I'd exchange my right nut for a Fifty Fathoms though, maybe one day when the kids have fucked off.

Nice ff except it is probably too big on my wrist and out of my league.
The details of bpff is nice! A very blingy diver.

Great pics. Once a quarter, I get fifty fathoms fever and start looking to make a move. One day...
