    Hi guys
    Been sent some pics of this. How many parts is this made from? I've never heard of a FF with a white dressy dial as it's always been a hardcore dive watch. The case almost has a Rolex style look and the case back says it's a 'Fifty Fathoms'. Interested to see what people make of this strange creation.
    Automatic movement missing rotor by the looks of it.
    Thanks in advance

    It's important that when your 100m underwater you know that Blancpain was established in 1735...
