So can I clarify?
The further work you are referring to on the TR occurred before the contract was let for delivery? Even so it seems the small crown survived. Also, yours also apparently has no case number on the back—otherwise caseback the same as the Navy’s delivered watches. Thanks.
A interesting TR? At auction
Phillips has posted a TR for sale in its November auction here. Attached are salient photos including one I obtained from them that is not shown in the catalogue. This one is fun! ...
I have never

I have in my collection a TR900 identical to the one that will go on sale. During my research on the FF, I had the opportunity to meet several former Blancpain watchmakers at the end of 1990 and early 2000. During our various discussions I had confirmatio...

Thanks. Here is my confusion.
I have seen people refer to these as AMs (With the TR style back). There is another for sale right now with an “AM” back but if the back is accurate, then the other parts or most of them are not correct, at least to me. . Do we have two different species?...
Not trying to stir up trouble
I have a photo from a collector that shows the bezel on his has the minute markers. I have not seen the back of it. It does have the TR style hands though. He calls it an AM, so I imagine it has the AM back. Either they—AMs—-can have either bezel or his w...
