Best of luck, tell us how it goes. Hopefully you can still snag one.

I will ask my AD ad well - I love the look of the mil spec as well.
I really think I found the perfect watch |

The 43mm FF wears small and more like a 41mm in appearance on the wrist.

I took it off last Sunday and placed it on a winder while I wore another watch a day until I got it back out yesterday, Friday. You know, when you buy a “nice” watch, you expect....demand accuracy. The 1315 surprised me although my timer already confirm its accuracy. I have touched the time since I got it but seeing is believing:

Any owners of the FF automatique? Blue or black? Can’t decide which I like the most.

The Fifty Fathoms is an amazing watch, and if I'm being honest i think it knocks the socks of most other sports watches (including Rolex). Over the years I've owned...

Last December walked into a Blancplain Salon and I had been thinking about buying a FF for years. Was showing off my knowledge to the wife about the 3 models laid out before me, when the sales man said he had a titanium one in the safe and would I like to see it.
That day I ended up going home with a new watch! I really love it. |

I went with a pre-owned blue stainless steel because I am not a huge fan of the full polished case and absolutely love the blue dial.

is there a reason Blancpain only offers 2 years warranty while other brands have 5 or more years ?

Many manufacturers only offer 2 years - AP, PP, VC, etc. AP do offer an extended warranty though, as do Panerai (up to 6 years iirc). GS is 3 years as standard.

Indeed a bit awkward. When I bought a FF at the boutique, they did not mention the extended warranty if you register your watch for the circle of connoisseurs. Did enroll and got the three years extra.
