Eddie e-mailed back and said this watch would be a regular in his stable of watches as long as it was popular (forever imo) and that it will be not an LE....no deposits will be taken as he has never taken any before and once the watch is near completion we will all know as well as the specs ....Eddie has always been a great WIS to deal with and I can't wait until this watch is ready FS! perfect.gif |

This is beginning to look like a "must have"...thank God...I haven't been able to get excited about a watch for months - they were all beginning to look the same! |

Arrrgh! Both of them... :shock: :D I have been considering another watch, but the price was a bit high IMHO, and if the Precista is under $600 that pretty much decides it. |

So Nice.....Wifey will kill me if I grab another watch. She already thinks that my D.freemont Barcelona is a different watch and has given me a few looks of disgust...so much for buying her a Rollie for Christmas. Last edited on Mon May 18th, 2009 11:16 am by SHADY |

What is the deal on getting one? Looks like from Eddies forum that there will be a great demand for one. Can we get a jump on it somehow? |

Eddie told me this watch will be in his stable as long as it is popular and that he is not doing a pre-order....so there will always be availability imho....1st run though??? ...I will e-mail him but my guess would be 1st come 1st serve so maybe we better start monitoring the site more often for when it goes up FS hand6.gif |

I also plan to have this one I scored service sometime before the year is out maybe. It is running slow and having been modded might be a good idea for a real good checkup. And while at it get setup to maybe score one of the new ones down the road too. ;) |

Yep! And I ordered mine immediately! I wonder how many he has this time? I've already gotten a "dispatch" that it is ON ITS WAY!! I have to say: I've looked and looked at the original PR-50, and the MK II series, and finally came to believe that THIS one looks like nothing I already have. That domed crystal is a beauty! And the NOS movement, for me, is a plus, also. I've got an Omega Mesh waiting for it!! |
|||||||||

I have looked and looked and looked at this watch...and while I find it very attractive, I can see absolutely no difference between it and the original other than a reworkd dial, a dome crystal and a new bezel insert. I could be wrong! |

there are many versions by year of the vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms...below are 2 links that can help identify them and Eddie has done a great job recreating two of them in homage imho...so although they may look similar they are different ..I prefer the latest model by Eddiehand6.gif http://www.fiftyfathoms.net/FiftyFathoms/FiftyFathoms.html http://www.watchdeco.com/fiftyfathoms/ |

"The manufacturing drawing for the case and movement detail is identical to the PRS-50 shown further down this page, the only differences are the detail for the domed acrylic crystal on this version. " |
