… I bought it a few months ago and it had its flaws: the antireflective coating had a lot of scratches, the middle case had bad damage from a dealers house watchmaker when he/she tried to open the case, the automatic winding didn’t work.
But it also had the most beautiful Tritium dial with a slight tropical effect.
I managed to track down an NOS middle case, bezel and crystal, the rest was carefully taken care of by the Blancpain Service Center in Pforzheim, Germany.
The result is simply amazing imho. Give me a few days to share more photos of it 😉
Cheers
Henrik

After 25 years, that's approximately two half-lives of tritium decay - how is the residual lime at this point? Curious since I also have an older BP that will headed to service soon...
Beautiful
