Blancpain

Hi all, this question could have been asked in the past but I am now wondering if all vintage Blancpain milspec are having a hacking movement? How are we able to tell except pulling out the crown obviously? Is the engraving on rotor different? Your sharin... 

So, the early Milspec and the TR 900 should hack. These are the Milspec with small crown, not the civilian which have the big crown. With some exceptions, though: On this photo, look at the 2d one from the left. It has a small crown, but it doesn't hack: ...

Hello Nicolas, attached are pictures of my military Milspec 1 with R.570 (hacking!), Serial#2891. As you can see, unfortunately the hands are not original. I would be happy, if someone of the FF-community would be able to tell me a source for a set of han...  

We can barely see the watch, which is a pity. Welcome here, by the way. All the best. Nicolas. PS: Not easy tro find a set of correct hands, it took me one year... But will see what I can do.

Select 1000 x 800 size, select the 2d link from the top, copy, then paste in your post.... If you don't succeed in that, send me a PM, I will give you my personal email, and then you send me the pics by email. Is it ok for you? Best, Nicolas

Hello Nicolas, thanks a lot for your advice. Here they are, the pictures of one of my babies. Cordially, Fritz...  

There is only SWISS written.

But it will be difficult as most of the collectors who own such a set of hands keep it for them... Fingers crossed. Best, Nicolas.

But one question: What is the meaning of Swiss or T Swiss < 25 mc? Do exist early Milspec 1 variants with the R.570 and different dials? Best Regards, Fritz

Now, I only saw AS 1361 in early Milpsecs... No R 570... But I didn't see all. Best, Nicolas.
