My first Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Some quick shots.
I have been searching for one of these for a while now. These are quite hard to find in good condition these days and after a long search, I have located this. What makes this piece special is that it has a very unique "stardust" dial and even though the that is the case, the dial's markers numbers are in very nice condition without any deterioration on them at all. I'm glad to be part of the Fifty Fathoms club now!

And I am glad to welcome you!
1000 Feet, or 3 / 6 / 9 / 12, this s something which cruelly missesi in my collection. you see, you were faster and better than me on this game. BRAVO! Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas for the warm welcome!
Thanks so much for your valuable advice and help with me learning these rare BP's. I can say I am still looking for that perfect piece but am quite ecstatic with this particular find. Be well my friend! Best, Jon (hennabav)
But Jon...
This one is perfect! Perfection lis inot each of great Vintage FF, my friend, and yes, a 3 / 6 / 9 / 12, Liip Bp, 1000 Feet or not, IS a part of this perfection. The only issue is that you will nto want to stay with only one Vintage FF. They are so addict...
LOL....I definitely agree!
They are soooo addictive! I guess like any brand including Rolex and all, you just can't stick with just one! You have to have them all. But very well said. It is a beauty and something I will treasure. Best, Jon
So Jon, why did you decide to sell it one month later?
Can't understand why you posted so many WTB posts, why you said that you were so happy ot find this one, and then why you decided to sell it just one month after you got it...!!! Nicolas
What a unique and nice piece..
... I struggle to become a true member myself, and not just one with great and increasing interest in these timepieces Best Hans
Hans, don't give up!
I looked very hard to mine and honestly, searching for it is half the fun! Look hard and don't give up! Best, Jon
Wow!
You have entered in this Club for the VIP door for sure!!! Your watch is fantastic! Welcome
Thanks YASARGIL!!
It's truely a beauty and I love how intricate the designs are for vintage Blancpains. This will surely not be my last and keep your eyes peeled for my next piece. I hope to get a collection going soon. Best, Jon (hennabav)
I hope...
...you will find other fantastic FF, but, please, tell us where are you have this treasure resource!!! ;-) Best Regards, Mario
Thanks for the well wishes....
I'm sure all of us are looking for that special treasure. What makes these Blancpains interesting is that so few are left and most collectors are hanging onto them. Every once in a while, you will find that piece you have always been looking for. Best, Jo...

Welcome to the Club! Very nice purchase. Just for the pleasure: two different models. One with an other dial and one with the date. Best regards...
Very cool ;)
Love both of them especially that unique 1000ft Rotomatic Incabloc dial....very special! Best, Jon
Thanks, Damjan. The Without Date is just sublime.
Funny how I can see quite a lot posted here, and that I never found mine! Best, Nicolas
welcome to the party Jon

Thanks Stephan!
I will definitely try!! There are many other models out there so I feel it will be an enjoyable journey! Best, Jon
Congratulations! These 3-6-9-12 FF's are...
virtually impossible to find these days, so well done. That's a good looking example. Thanks for posting. Darren
It took me a long time to find one.....
Thanks Darren and I completely agree. They're not common for sure! Best, Jon
A big welcome to the club....
And a superb model to start with - a highly desirable 3 6 9 12 dial. Nice catch. As Nicolas said, this will be just the start!!! Cheers Tony
An amazing catch, congrats!
Love the use of the term 'Stardust" for the dial. Vintage lingo is so romantic...
