Vintage Lip Blancpain Fifty Fathoms: A dream I missed.

Sep 02, 2017,00:06 AM
 

In the cruel category of missed opportunities, this Lip Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. 


All correct, 


With its signed case back, rotor, and dust cover, 



I am still running after a 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 Rotomatic Incabloc Fifty Fathoms, one or the three or four vintage FF I still miss in my collection, but it seems it is not the easiest to find. 

This one was excellent. 

Best,

Nicolas

The word "excellent" doesn't do this piece justice.

it is simply SUBLIME

This FF is just wow, the dial is pristine as the rest of the watch.

Could you tell me why it is signed Lip and Blancpain? I know that Lip is a French company so was Blancpain part of them at the time? Regards Kev.

Oooooh that patina! Perfect! [nt]
