An original Lip Blancpain

Words are beyond Reality to describe this gorgeous Fifty Fathoms.

And sadly, pics too.

This Lip Blancpain comes with the Big Case ( 41 mm ), at the contrary of some others which are smaller, ( 35 mm ), like the French Military School Divers, for example.

I never saw in the flesh such a Lip Blancpain:



Neither in pics, even if, recently, our Dr Strong posted pics of some close ones, like this Beautiful example, coming with the big case:



The difference between these 2?

Look at the moisture indicator or Dr Strong's example, and now, look at the one I posted...

Not sure at all that on the one I posted, this is a Moisture Indicator.

Don't really know what it is, and if someone here can share with us some infos, you are more than welcome...

This Lip Blancpain is simply gorgeous, with its timeless " 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 " dial, which gets a superb patina.

The " circle" above 6 is just echoing to the beauty of this watch, too.



Big crown:



Drilled lugs:



And " Lip " engraved on the case back ( sorry, no pic ), but a classic case back with the usual writings " Automatic, Antimagnetic, Waterproof, Shockprotected " and a serial number which is 273 XXX.

An amazing and beautiful watch, indeed!

Enjoy.

Best,

Nicolas
