  • Blancpain

    Been reading a lil bout the blancpain fifty fathoms...apparently came out around same time as the submariner..some even say it preceded it. Regardless, it is a beautiful watch in its own right.

    Any idea how much one of these bad boys cost?

              Really? Why bro? It's just an expensive "emperor's new clothes" kinda trinket is it?

              ETA movement? Surely not.......

                no lah...nothing wrong with the 50 fathoms.....

                movement is inhouse.... 5 days PR...... technically it's very advanced but no matter what, look is subjective...... i dun find it attractive enough to pay that much...

                  Never owned a Blanpain before but certainly think they make some great watches. Resale value don't seem too good though so be prepared to lose quite a bit should you decide to let go of pieces bought new ...

                      i could be wrong...but i believe Blancpain's 50 Fathoms was the diving watch that was used as a benchmark for many watch companies back in 1700-1800 era. Blancpain ceased operations in 1900s, revived in 1980s and bought over by Swatch Grp in 2000.

                      Blancpain's trilogy collection (air command flyback chrono), discon, is equally popular..retailed then around $15K..BP's Leman series also nice... price bracket also ard that range

                      cheers

                              always buy from trusted seller for 2nd hand. I like the vintage more, but the problem is too many fakes out there for vintage fifty fathoms, even sold by Ebay Power Seller.
