Blancpain Tribute To Fifty Fathoms Watch
2010 sees an interesting release from Blancpain. Given the plethora of "vintage" or "re-release" models, I wasn't at all surprised to see that Blancpain too had dug something out from their past to share with everyone. This is a model in the Fifty Fathoms collection called the "Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Watch." It is modeled after one of the original Fifty Fathoms watches from the 1950s. If you want to know more about the history, the go here.I don't think that Blancpain has officially released anything regarding this watch yet. They often wait a long while to do sowhich is frustrating. This is more or less the same Fifty Fathoms watch you know and love, but with a special "re-issue" dial. The original Fifty Fathoms watch has that interesting atomic label on there that actually meant to indicate that the watch was radiation free. Why? Well, luminant for a long time was radioactive.

the new Graham watch comes packaged in a 47mm case
A typical high-powered racing instrument, the new Graham watch comes packaged in a 47mm case. It is rendered in black PVD-treated steel. The case is encircled by a steel bezel with a "Clous de Paris" pattern and a tachymeter scale.The case reveals black PVD-treated steel right hand control pushers with "Clous de Paris" high grip decoration. The front side of the model is shielded by a domed sapphire crystal with internal and external glare-proofed coating. The timepiece also features a smoked see-through sapphire crystal case-back engraved with a limited edition serial number. The case is built to be 100-meter water-resistant.

5980 Black or Blue?
I think the blue dial is infinitely more interesting and beautiful than the black dial, but I'm convinced the black dial will match just about everything I wear. The blue dial seems like it will really pop with the right clothes but clash more with the wrong outfit. I'm looking for thoughts on this to help me decide which dial for an every day and only sport watch. I searched the topic expecting to find thirty or so threads like on the Rolex Forum (daily white or black dial Daytona/Explorer II ;)) but can it be I'm the first to ask or care? (doubts it). Thanks in advance for the advice, or the redirect to the same topic if I missed it somehow, or apologies for another boring question! :)

5 digits Subs/SDs
Hello everyone! I am thinking to start collecting 5 digits Subs and SDs after having 1680, 5513 and 1665. What's your opinion on the pre-ceramic models vs those transitional models? Which ones are better to start with? Or these are something in between which are more collectible?Please kindly give me your suggestion and the reasons behind, I appreciate your inputs!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
