I have seen people refer to these as AMs (With the TR style back). There is another for sale right now with an “AM” back but if the back is accurate, then the other parts or most of them are not correct, at least to me. . Do we have two different species?

I have in my collection a TR900 identical to the one that will go on sale. During my research on the FF, I had the opportunity to meet several former Blancpain watchmakers at the end of 1990 and early 2000. During our various discussions I had confirmatio...

These mk2s are as rare as the US Navy. We can't talk about limited series or prototypes, but rather a few test copies. I only listed a few parts. Yes, mine like Blancpain's (exhibited in 2013 in Basel for the FF's anniversary) and Phillip's do not have a ...

I have a photo from a collector that shows the bezel on his has the minute markers. I have not seen the back of it. It does have the TR style hands though. He calls it an AM, so I imagine it has the AM back. Either they—AMs—-can have either bezel or his w...
