god dam, nice time peace

I thought I'd never wear anything other than my beloved Submariner, but I recently traded my LV Sub (plus) for a FF of my own. I always thought it out of reach and not likely, but when I got my shot, I took it and am loving every minute wearing it!

Here are two iPhone pics on the plane flying from John Wayne Airport in SoCal to Portland this afternoon. First pic with flash and then without.

The more I see of the Blancpain, the more I am appreciating it.

eric23 · 14 December 2011, 01:18 AM

Nice, Congrats!

Manofsteelpt · 14 December 2011, 02:00 AM

Awesome watch!

TT Yachtmaster
TT Ceramic Submariner
5513 Submariner
SS Daytona
Project X Submariner
Ceramic LV Submariner

They just didn't "do it" for me anymore. Anyway, I've long wanted a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and put my name down for the Anniversary model a few years ago but didn't get one. I never pulled the trigger on one as I thought them just a little too pricey and a little too large. Having had a Panerai for some months I became used to the size coupled with the soaring Rolex price rises I decided to pull the trigger. Just to cap it off though I stuck it on an Isofrane strap.

Congrats on that beautiful BlaincpaiN Fifty !

I'm feeling another 50F for some reason?

Its a real shame the bracelet doesn't offer quick/micro adjustment.

masterserg · 14 December 2011, 02:40 AM

Pure class!

conrail · 14 December 2011, 03:50 AM

Can't blame ya for ditching Rolex. When you (not you personally) actually see what's out there and aren't blinded by brand loyalty, there are so many FANTASTIC watch mfgers at great prices. That FF is really growing one me as well, nice pickup.

Jonathan007 · 14 December 2011, 04:18 AM

shweeeeeet

kilyung · 14 December 2011, 04:56 AM

Nice. I'd love to find the 40mm anniversary model though.

You look very concentrated

eagle_lex · 14 December 2011, 08:36 AM

Very classy. I will have one but i cant flip to get one. Im keeping my no date and my gmtIIc. But the FF is hot!

BH13GMT · 14 December 2011, 08:46 AM

Stunning watch, I like FF and th previous model.
I think Nathan (OP) flipped his in the end. Poor customer service and timekeeping were the reasons IIRC. But we all know he is a watch tart

Freelance · 14 December 2011, 08:50 AM

Great watch! I have to say, I think I would take the FF over any of the 'modern' Rolex divers.

I love that Bezel design.

I love Blancpain, and yours (on a bracelet) was the one that made me start....LOVE it!

Guilty as charged, m'lud

warren G. · 16 December 2011, 05:40 AM

Congrats on the FF!

stockjock1975 · 16 December 2011, 12:52 PM

I am beginning to share your feelings about Rolex. My Sub was my first "high end" watch and I will always hold it dear to my heart. Having said that, I am just tired of seeing Rolex on the wrist of vitually everyone I come across. I know that's an overexageration, but it just feels too common any more for me. I was fortunate to purchase a PP recently and that has become my daily wear and my most loved piece. But I still pull the Rollie out from time to time!.......

beowulf566 · 16 December 2011, 01:21 PM

The FF is a great looking watch! Congrats

h999r · 16 December 2011, 01:24 PM

Haha. Are you thinking Mont Blanc? Who also makes watches.... Blancpain just happens to be one of the top watch brands.
