Blancpain AM, a nice shot of my ex watch.

AM 103. 




I wonder how many of us own an " AM ". Certainly one of the rarest FF. 

Best,

Nicolas, a bit curious.

Pardon a stupid question, but what is AM?

No a stupid question at all, I have been looking for the answer for many years, in vain... BUT...

 
 By: amanico : February 25th, 2017-23:26
I think it has something to do with the Army. Why? Because several had a military life, Because I know another one which came from a military. I think... Better said, I guess. Best, Nicolas

I had the same question.

Although maybe it stands for Amanico Militaire?? Beautiful piece!

He he... My knowledge in english and in US army is not good enough to try to guess. [nt]

Superb specimen

 
 By: RG1 : February 25th, 2017-21:29

Oh yes, I sold a civilian Milspec to have this one, and sold this one to get another one... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : February 25th, 2017-23:24

LOL

 
 By: RG1 : March 1st, 2017-09:01
I also sold watches to get another watches

Which is good when the watch in question is nicer than the one you let go. ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 1st, 2017-09:02

Agreed

 
 By: RG1 : March 1st, 2017-09:05
Only the keepers stay with me

Which means a lot about the level of the Vintage FF which replaced this one. ;) [nt]

 By: XX-FF : August 2nd, 2017-04:35
Mine always in my collection. AM 38 Best JL ...  

I know only 5 or 6... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 2nd, 2017-06:08

Another stunning one, congrats! Grail for me! [nt]

 
 By: gensiulia : September 11th, 2017-00:01

Rarer, much rarer than the TR 900! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : September 11th, 2017-01:24

Is the Bulova proto the rarest of these babies? [nt]

 
 By: gensiulia : September 11th, 2017-01:47

Not a Blancpain FF. If we are speaking about vintage FF, I would say the Bronze US NAVY. How many? 4? 5? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : September 11th, 2017-02:14

Honestly I don't know, not sure I have a picture in my HD... [nt]

 
 By: gensiulia : September 11th, 2017-02:21

I will post one, soon. [nt]

Killer watch

 
 By: fifty fathoms : September 11th, 2017-04:13
Who was talking about stents? I need one too

Number 38 is awesome!

 
 By: Briandumais : September 11th, 2017-17:44
The AM was made the same time the first series tr900 were made. I agree with Nicolas that there was a military connection. Brian

Yes, I agree about the military connection, and probably about the chronology. [nt]
