 By: amigofreestyle : April 15th, 2010-03:24
Hi. I am a newbie here with a maybe very strange question: I recently bought a vintage "Blancpain" diver and I wanted to ask you whether you think it is a really crazy marriage or an original Blancpain. This watch obviously has a super compressor case in ...

Welcome to the site. There are some great guys here. I saw the auction of that one. I did not like it. The dial is not marked "swiss" I have never seen the benrus style hands I have owned a compressor Blancpain and nothing looked to be similar That being ...

Very similar

Good spot Amanco, Your right, I was just excited to find an image of one similar to my authenticated one as I have never seen another one, seems similar in every other way though, perhaps someone has refurbished the dial in the original post one, blancpai... 

I think stylistically these two compressor watches have no connection to Blancpain.

The fonts on the dial, bezel and case back are like nothing I have seen before. The painted hands and dial are also unknown. The serial number does not follow the no rad and demo sequence. I just don't have a lot of faith in this watch. Brian

Probably, alas.
