And a nice picture, too. Credit: Phillips. Enjoy, Nicolas ...  

I really like the kind of "raw" dial. Only a few reeditions emulate this as good as the Skin Diver from Longines. Maybe i dont even know another example.

Thanks for showing!

Yes, I find the dial very nice looking, too. [nt]

Prices are very high for these type of vintage BPs if I remember correctly. [nt]

Much higher than ten years ago, indeed, but not more than a vintage Rolex Sub. [nt]

I wish Blancpain could bring these into regular production again.

If I bought one of the originals I would be scared to wear it and buying the Squale 60th anniversary edition is too costly for what one gets in my opinion.

In a 41 mm case, without date. YES! [nt]

I'll take it in any size...🤣 [nt]

Even 45mm? [nt]

I agree. A 100% copy, down to the plexiglas crystal would be awesome.

I much prefer this type of bezel as well over a ceramic or the rounded sapphire bezel in other FF pieces.

The ceramic bezel is much more resistant than the original bakelite... [nt]

Yes. And they could give you an extra crystal like the pam 249.Brian [nt]

Yes, that would be great! [nt]

+1 especially this one

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : January 6th, 2020-15:01
I absolutely love it and it has NO date.
