Blancpain

A pair of watches I had some 6 years ago, which I let go to upgrade my Fifty Fathoms collection. Two watches I loved a lot, and I am somehow still in contact with them, since I know where they are. Two beauties with a totally different character. Here is ...  

You let these go to upgrade your FF collection? Wow, most people would be extremely happy with this pair of beauties. The Milspec is superb !

These two are wonderful watchs, but when you cross the way of an " AM ", you have to take a quick decision. Idem for the TR 900. These are sadly not the only 2 I let go... But we can't get them all! Best, Nicolas

one of which I know is still looking just as good!! cheers Tony

But you are lucky to have a very good anti nostalgy option; to open ur safety box and look.. :):)

I still have to dig into this theme a bit more... Just a bit more. ;) Barakuda, Bund... Lip Blancpain, another ( and a last ) Milspec... You see, the end i not so close! Best, Nicolas

As the one you show in the photo my friend :)

.. be found in other good houses; a nice, consoling feature, I guess. Although, when parting to re-build something else and / or better the parting feeling is made-up by new joy ! - Look forward..never back.. And no regrets.. For me not that easy, althoug... 

But once you get them, you keep them. Golden rule, here. Best, my friend. Nicolas.

Beautiful watches, my friend. I can't imagine how one could upgrade! Best, Mike

But more and more, I am convinced that the platinum rule is to NEVER sell a vintage FF when you are Lucky to find one. Best, Nicolas
