Hopefully a 42.3 regular production will soon be an option too!

Just ordered this Rose Gold and Gray Dial Flyback from Chrono24! Can't wait to get this on my wrist!

Once I get it in my hands, I will share more pics.

I’m off on a 500 round trip next week to try a few on with a definite view to purchase.
Appointment was booked in with the boutique in London last week. A timely thread.

Lovely place to visit, with knowledgeable and very friendly staff. Nothing but praise for the London boutique.

I tried this 500 Fathoms GMT Linited Edition (50021 12B30 52B) but didn't like it, not because of the size but the dial is too crowded and looks like a dartboard. Otherwise a great watch in Titanium with 120 hours power reserve. Many thanks to Denis (OP) for this great thread.

TikTok · 8 November 2023, 06:12 PM

I’ll keep you posted. I fancy a 52a but you never know until you try them on. Good to know that the London boutique staff are good, that give you a certain amount of confidence walking into the shop. There first thing Monday so we shall see then.

In the current lineup there are several watches with ending xxxxx52A.

A Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 500 Fathoms, with a reference number xxxxx52A, does not exist.

Which watch are you looking for?

TikTok · 9 November 2023, 02:44 AM

5015 1130 52a
Thats at the top of my list. My bad.

DVR · 9 November 2023, 03:53 AM

That's the one I have. I can tell you, it will surpass all your expectations. In look, finish and accuracy. It's an amazing watch. Never to be sold IMO. A true heritage piece.

It does look like a dart board. I wouldn’t walk into a pub with that exposed, you might wind up with a dart in the neck meat.
