The funny thing is that THIS watch is the very same one I photographed some 10 years ago... ( Credit picture: Phillips )





Ten years before.



How do I know it is the same watch? The case number! 

Best,

Nicolas

This model isn't usual for a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms! Thanks for share it...

Less known than the usual suspects, indeed. Thanks for looking. [nt]

Indeed. Not my first choice when it comes to vintage FFs, but a watch I am hunting... For years. [nt]

It does look nice. Was the hand lume “split” when you saw it? [nt]

You mean the hour hand? Yes, a bit. [nt]

Good to have one, bad or hard to get an other one... ...  

The 3/6/9/12 is the other vintage FF I miss... Damn! [nt]

Do we know the case number of that one? My German is poor but it is later than 1955. [nt]

 
 By: bill5959 : November 12th, 2017-16:55

No case Nr.
