Only recently become aware of this brand and the fantastic looking FF model - what a stunning looking watch.

I was prepared to get a SUB-C. although i really have a fondness for that watch something kept holding me back (despite my having relatives/variants of it in my collection - 50th LV and DSSD, for example). Maybe it was how common it was or something.

At any rate, stumbled across a FF at an AD and really liked it. In doing some research I came across this LE Dark Knight model and it looks even better!

I gather the LE was a few years ago, however. What are chances of being able to find a new one still at an AD? Am i relegated to a grey market dealer for something like this?

I cant speak to whether or not you can still find a new one at an AD, but I will say that it's a fabulous looking watch. If given the option at this stage of my collecting, I would go for the FF over a sub. thumbsup:

Great looking watch for sure!

tigerpac · 2 July 2013, 01:51 AM

I think you may be able to find a new one or LNIB if you do some digging. Awesome watch btw!

nishant · 2 July 2013, 03:13 AM

Mark had one for sale recently ... BTW, u can't go wrong with any of its variants.

aboen · 2 July 2013, 09:53 AM

FF's are Outrageously great!

kilyung · 2 July 2013, 01:40 PM

Hmm. Now I'm wondering if I should upgrade mine to RG or Aqualung!

Does anyone own the SS bracelet for these? I heard its an outstanding piece.

I like mine. The only gripe I have is that it lacks any significant adjustability beyond the half links it comes with.

Wahlberg · 3 July 2013, 01:12 AM

From the watches I've seen you post Kilyung, you really have one hell of a collection. Wow. :)

Very nice, Mike.

incontrol · 3 July 2013, 01:56 AM

The FF in almost every configuration is stunning! Very tough to decide what to buy after you decide it is a must have! :thumbup:

Yeah I'm always keeping an eye open for a used FF at the right price :D

alantannottam · 3 July 2013, 05:05 PM

I love mine too!

ufboy73 · 3 July 2013, 11:53 PM

thnks for the endorsement guys:)

i need another watch like a hole in the head, right now.

i also see what you guys mean about all the variants - the 'stock' model, the DK....now, i see there is the acqualung and that limited retro model (with the no radiation logo - though, this one doesnt seem as popular on the forum) - they all have their charms

c.rod · 4 July 2013, 06:13 AM

check out watchrecon.. keep looking and eventually you will see one come up

lja1821 · 7 July 2013, 02:31 AM

Does anyone know what the usual discount is on the bpff?

c.rod · 7 July 2013, 04:54 AM

this one ? none. cant find em.

go to one of the grey sites and poke around. that will give you a good idea of what discount to expect.

Thanks, ive been looking and can get either (in stock) one just not sure what the typical discount if any was on either model..

lightguy · 14 July 2013, 05:25 AM

I like the looks of the Dark Knight but the PVD finish and ceramic bezel worry me about scratching.
Love the sailcloth band.
There is a LNIB one on watchrecon now.

I'm trying to work a deal on the old school FF and finding a sailcloth deployment band.

c.rod · 14 July 2013, 06:02 AM

that one looks like a hell of a deal and would prob get it if i was in the market. they dont come up all to often
