Blancpain

As we speak about the new FFs releases and the Tribute, here is a " real Mac Coy " from the end of the 50ies, one of my very favourite FF. Not mine, though, but I had the opportunity to see it in the flesh during our last European GTG, and I couldn't miss...  

That is the only problem with Vintage Blancpain. There are just so few of them!!! It has such a classic look I think that is one of my favorite early blancpain models. It looks like a very early serial number. Well done Nicholas

As I already own the Lip Blancpain which is as old as this one, and which also comes with a 3/ 6 / 9 / 12 dial. But I must admit that, for a moment, the idea to get it crossed my mind. Best, my friend. Nicolas

here is a picture of mine FF 3-6-9 it is a 3xxx best Stephan...  

Here, my Lip Blancpain with its awesome 3/ 6 / 9 / 12 dial: Great FF, FF. Can't get rid of admiring your beauty. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-06-25 13:03:24...  

Cannot remember exactly but around 4XXX....  

Can't get rid of your 1 000 feet, my friend. Thanks for posting! Best, Nicolas

Marco van Basten was my biggest soccer idol ever since I played soccer starting at 12. Soooooooooooo good that you have chance to discuss and meet him.

I have to confess that I cheated a bit on Marco Van Basten. In fact, it is one of us, Michel. But he looks so much like Marco Van Basten that I couldn't resist. Best, my friend. Nicolas

Thanks for telling and it was a great meeting up in Paris thou.
