Aqua lung 1000 Nos Box and papers
I was lucky enough to find a very special Blancpain Aqua lung 1000. It has spent all of its time in its rare original box and has never been used! I did have to pay a kings ransom for the watch but its wonderful. For some reason i was unable to answer some of your questions on the below thread. Brian

CRAZY FIND, Brian...
I feared something like that, and you didn't deceive me. I can't believe it... Complete and in magic condition... As if you just bought it from THE shop. I'm speechless, my friend. You just killed me. Best! Nicolas
speachless
All I can say is that I am speachless and to commemorate this moment I'm going to go put on my FF Chrono. Marvelous catch. Best regards, George

Congratulations Brian !

Huge congrats.......
Opportunities like this to buy a sought after vintage watch complete and in unworn condition rarely come around. You are one lucky guy, I'd be afraid to wear the damn thing! Tony

Tornek Connection
I just got an email from one of Tornek's sons and he told me that the address on the paper work(75 W 45th St) was one of his dads location. They also were located at 565 5th Ave. I think most of us have seen this old advertisement....
Is it worth....?
Is it worth living without wearing this beauty? I'm sure you will take care of it. Congratulations !!!
What a catch...!
