Showed it to a co-worker today and I was surprised that he said it reminded him of the Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms. I told him that this was based on the original spec for the government contract for which Blancpain built the original FF. I'm really loving the simple clarity of the dial; all it takes is glance to see if I'm late/early to my next meeting. It isn't a BP FF, but it's smaller, has a better surface treatment and most of all has the crown in "right" side.
One thing I like better on the FF is the font on the bezel; being a bit of a font nerd, I think the font on the reissued FF looks better and cleaner than the one on the Corvus, but the Corvus Bradley is truer to the original. Cheers!
