    Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Possible Discounts

    Do you think a nice discount is possible on full titanium FF?

    https://www.blancpain.com/en/fifty-f...-5015-12b30-98

    I have the LE Nageurs de Combat, but thinking maybe I can sell/trade and then get a standard FF in a more comfortable (for me) titanium.

    Cheers.

    Contact Heritage Watches and ask them if they can get that model. You would need to sell yours seperately.

    Will do thanks!

    I can still return mine for full refund, so should have the funds. What would be a realistic discount on the standard Ti though?

    Will work out as direct swap then. Can I try for 25-30%?

    May be a struggle for a new model. Probably more likely from a broker vs bricks and mortar AD.

    As Simon stated, the titanium bracelet is new and there is every possibility that the likes of Heritage might not be able to source one from a standard AD. It might be exclusive to the boutiques at full retail for now. Don't know for sure, but worth bearing in mind.

    I think you would be certain to get a titanium watch head on the Sailcloth strap though if that is acceptable to you.

    Also worth pointing out, I suspect they would only take returns if there is actually something wrong with the watch given that you have specifically ordered the watch in, so if you don't bond it might be a off to SC.

    Out of interest, the titanium on the Sailcloth weighs in at 96 grams, which is heavier than I expected, so on a full TI bracelet I'm guessing anywhere North of 150 Grams.

    Sailcloth is lovely, but it is a bit thin at the lugs. Will try to get a spare for full Ti. 150g is not bad at all. Considering case size and bracelet thickness.

    AD have confirmed I can return as long as watch remains unworn. But will offer oh here first!

    Price difference between sailcloth and Ti bracelet is not much, so with the right discount it should be the right choice I think.
