250 Fathoms
250 Fathoms
I have found myself in a place with a bit of repetitious Blancpain 50 fathoms symmetry. I should think about selling one or two, but each has something unique that keeps it in the box with steel, titanium and ceramic, 40mm, 43mm and 45mm, blue and black, LE and regular production, brushed and polished, etc...., and all above or near 100 hour reserves. Truth be told, if each one was about 41.7mm or so with drilled 20mm lugs I would buy the X-71 bracelet and every available strap combo and call it a day!

Such a sweet group of FFs!

Re: 250 Fathoms
despite of similar cases, I think there is enough variety in there

Re: 250 Fathoms
I get it. Collecting variations on a theme makes sense.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said

Re: 250 Fathoms
I can't, er, fathom getting rid of any of those.

I'd probably do it with Explorers and Explorer II's if I had the funds.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2020 3:57 pmI get it. Collecting variations on a theme makes sense.
Nice group of FF's!
Re: 250 Fathoms
Awesome-- I think you need the chrono...
Re: 250 Fathoms
Those FF's are nice, but are they $100 from a thrift store nice?

Boy oh boy, this is pretty spectacular Rob, and like you, and the guys
are saying, there is variety, and a lot of variation.
Between the materials, sizes, finishes, and dial colors, textures, hands,
markers etc., it’s astonishing ! Almost is like going to a Blancpain
store, or showroom. Astonishing stuff !!!
Thanks a ton for the post !
