Barracuda

I HAVE ONE WITH THE SAME MARKINGS ON THE SIDE AND BACK(DIFFERENT NUMBERS) THAT I RECENTLY ACQUIRED IN AUSTRIA. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF QUESTION ABOUT THE MARKINGS. HERE ARE SOME IMAGES. WE ARE ASKING BLANCPAIN TO VERIFY THIS WATCH AS BEING GENUINE. WIL...

Not Barracuda, but Barakuda. Which is not totally the same. ;) [nt]

Thanks Nicolas for the correction on my part as well.

By: hennabav : July 7th, 2012-10:46

To be clear, Barakuda is not a watch, but a distributor.

By: amanico : July 7th, 2012-10:50

But this appeallation has often been mis used... Best, Nicolas

I see...then what would this configuration be called?

By: hennabav : July 7th, 2012-11:36

Best, Jon

No specific name, AFAIK.

By: amanico : July 7th, 2012-11:39

So you can call it as you want. For me, I would call it Automatic Date. Best, Nicolas

which or both?

By: mahamithra : July 8th, 2012-13:52

Sorry to be a bit 'thick'. Are you saying there is a difference between Dr Strongs Barracuda and the one I posted? That his is genuine and mine is not? If so what is the difference please. Thanks

No, no, both are from Barakuda, and both are correct. No worries about that.

By: amanico : July 8th, 2012-13:55

nice ! that is the early engraving. what is the 3 letter code....

By: watch.out1 : July 7th, 2012-05:38

on the movement next to the balance cog? kind regards. achim

So....Blancpains were used in the Polish Military??? :-) [nt]

By: BDLJ : July 10th, 2012-17:05

Oh yes, that was never in doubt.

By: watch.out1 : July 10th, 2012-17:26

kind regards. achim

Confused....

By: Tets : July 12th, 2012-12:11

So if it was never in doubt that the Polish military or Navy used Blancpain watches why are the MW marked Fifty Fathoms so frowned upon ? Cheers

You mean the very same? Can you please post pics of the case back?

By: amanico : July 14th, 2012-02:09

It is always interesting to see in what range the number is. Late 207 or early 208 xxx? Best, Nicolas

case back

By: psfparis : July 14th, 2012-03:21
