Advice regarding a Vintage Fifty Fathoms
Hi guys, I am new to this forum and also quite new into the world of Blancpain, so I’m seeking some of your hopefully expert advice 
Because I have bought a vintage Fifty Fathoms and I need some advice from someone who knows more about it then I do in order to figure out if I made a good deal or not.
The watch is in a very rough state but the clockwork is original and running, but is in need of service.
And what I have gathered then it’s a 34mm Fifty Fathom stainless steel model from around 1953, but I’m not sure about that, maybe someone have more info on it.
So I was wondering what your take is on the watch and what you think a watch in that condition should cost?
Thanks and Looking forward for your feedback
Cheers, Jess

I sounds like you might not own the watch yet.
If you really do own the watch post some better photo and we can take a better look at the front and back. If you do really own the watch I would have it serviced and replace crystal. But I would not send it into bp for factory service. Bp had a great ser...
If you going to send in a tr-900 into Bp for a factory restoration I think it's worth it.
But I would not spend that kinda money on the small case. Pictures aren't good but from what I can see it looks original. Spend $4-600 for a service and you won't be waisting a lot more money. Brian
