    Blancpian 50 fathoms strap

    Anyone recently bought a canvas strap for their 50 fathoms. Looking for the sailcloth or canvas strap options and would like it with the deployment if not too extortionate. Model is 5015-12B30-98

    Any advice most welcome

    Look at Artem straps. Good option. A little stiff but gets better with time. Closest to Blancpain sail cloth.

    I had a price for the titanium deployant from New Bond St boutique of £1850!
    The brushed and polished steel were the same price £480.
    The blue sailcloth was £190. (Mine was the titanium blue faced)
    I bought the sailcloth but not a deployant!

    Another vote for Artem. Very nearly as good.

    For thinner two layer canvas I like Barton. Helm for thick.

    They are good for the price
    IME, best sail cloth straps are Blancpain and Panerai OEM.
    I have tried all kinds of sail cloth straps but outside of those two, only Artem straps come close.

    Thanks guys, Artem looks nice option. Wow, big difference between titanium and steel deployments

    My Omega strap and steel deployment was only £400, thought that was expensive but beautifully finished though

    I think I’m right in saying that the BPFF has a 23mm lug width, which also rather limits your aftermarket strap options.

    Called in to the New Bond St boutique today to try on some different straps for my black 50 fathoms. Prices were same as quoted above and settled on the black sailcloth with brushed steel deployment. It did feel a little strange at first having been wearing the titanium bracelet (super light and comfortable) but none the less still very nice

    Love the quality on their sailcloth straps. Does anyone know the OEM manufacturer?
