The website was for an article on the Fifty Fathoms and I don’t remember a whole lot about it honestly. But it seemed to be representing them all as legit models.wwwEvgeny wrote:unbelievable variety !!! is all proven real? or some of them could be frankens and custom modifications? )) thank you for posting such a great number of pictures.

Really wish I could find the original website.
I’ll keep looking.
My favorite is the one that has the bronze bezel, probably just worn off outer metal but it looks pretty cool to me.
