First INCOMING of 2015 in BP Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung
Simplicity at its best..





It's all about the FONTs baby..





Baby's got back?





45mm vs. 6.5 inch? Heck, proportion looks just fine to ME.




Thanks for looking and once again, happy new year to all here!

Fred/NJ

Thank you Gents!

The AL is made in LE of 500 pieces only. It also comes with a brushed case, more vintage looking fonts, and no hash marks btw 12 and 3pm on the bezel so it is a cleaner look to me. 45mm is same sized as the regular FF. Lastly, the display back is a nice differentiation.
