I love the FF, does anyone know if they do a smaller version? I checked their website but can only see the 45mm so I assume not, unless there's an older model that I've missed.

The older model FFs are smaller, i think 40-42mm and a lot cheaper as well.

The 'dark knight' is quite expensive new and secondhand, although they do come up from time to time at around £5500, i was after one as well a while back but then saw them in the flesh at WoS in Cardiff :(

Dark knight,it's certainly dark but it's a fantastic piece of kit,although nice and pricey :cry:

There's two 1951 vintage FFs at Bonhams coming up with guide prices around the £2k mark (not that guide prices mean much)

The Bonhams ones, if any one is interested. Could almost be tempted myself if my pet insurance comes through in time.

..i gotta say the Dark Knight & other Fifty Fathoms look amazing in the pictures...

Think I may have to get on the net to find a vintage one :)
