Heeeerm, not mine, Filip
Not this one!
As for the truck, I'm afraid I don't have one, but I always travel light.
On a more serious note, these FF are awesome, they are a lot to have an extraordinary appeal and interest.
God, it would have been easier if I never crossed the way of a FF!
Thanks, my friend, and see you soon!

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. ...
A beauty ....

Thanks for these posts, Nicolas...
An honor and a pleasure admire all the marvels that you share with us. This Lip FF is really interesting, I never saw another like this one. Curious, but appealing watch, indeed. The FF are amazing watches.... some variations, many of them really rare bir...
A shared pleasure, Emilio
This was the really first time I saw a FF Lip Blancpain with a moisture indicator, and it was an unforgettable experience. My theory is on the way... The more you learn, the less you know! Best, Hermano, and don't drink too much, we have to velebrate some...
Yes amigo...
this is a moisture indicator where the two colors have become very hard to distinguish because of moisture. I have had the same phenomenon on one of my FF, where the two colors of the moisture indicator looked the same because of moisture and time: Here's...
I remember very well this one, Jeff
What a pity you sold it!! Thanks for the pics and the informations, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Cobalt Chloride is Blue
Hi Dr Strong, I believe that humidity has changed that NOS dial. Moisture indicators are Cobalt Chloride impregnated paper so they start off blue. When combined with water molecules, the Cobalt Chloride turns purple, then in combination with even more wat...
it was an old French Brand
Who used to do amazing watches, Pink Panther. There are some nice cosigned watches, too, like this Blancpain Lip, or some Lip Breitling, for example. Best, Nicolas
Moisture Indicator
Hi Nicolas, Yet another great FF. Re: The Moisture indicator: Is there a paper disk on this watch? It looks like just paint (?) The moisture indicators should be 2 part, one with the CoCl2 and one as a colour reference. I cannot see any split between the ...
Hi, Ben,
The Circle looks much more like paint than like a moisture indicator, indeed. When I looked at it, I paid a big attention on it, and I opted for a paint circle, rather than a moisture indicator. As for the cases now,you mainly have 2 kind of cases, the sa...
Perhaps the painted disk...
...is underneath all the moisture indicators. It would seem to make sense, as you would not want a black background to such an indicator. And this one has been removed after going pink (I think this would just be a matter of time unless the watch was only...
My wife hates you
....... everytime I see a vintage FF, I demand she sees it. She is sick of me talking nothing but FF these dayz. You never cease to amaze, thanks again for sharing , Nico !
