Finally found my Grail Fifty Fathoms Milspec 1
Hello fellow watch purists,
I just wanted to share some pictures of one of my latest acquisitions. It is a Fifty Fathoms Milspec 1 Pakistani from about 1968. I fell in love with early Fifty Fathoms after the introduction of the current FF in 2008. That's when the search for one began. Recently, the opportunity presented itself and I pulled the trigger. The case appears to be in original unpolished and is in great condition. It has sharp edges and a matte finish. The crown does have a ding to it. The glossy dial on the watch is perfect condition. The bezel insert is in good condition but does have a hairline crack. This appears to be common with vintage Fifty Fathoms. I was even able to locate an original NOS tropical band, that from my research came with this model.
One very interesting thing to note is the serial number, 208051. Brian'sNOS Fifty Fathom Pakistani has a serial number of 208036 which means my watch was made only 15 watches after his. How cool!
Thanks for reading!
Best,
Adam
