For Your Safety: A Message to All Buyers
- New Seller Notice: If a seller is new to the Collectors Market with less than 200 posts. While everyone starts somewhere, we strongly recommend using a secure payment method like PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card for purchases for buyer protection.
- Critical Security Alert: Established accounts can be compromised. Always request a custom timestamp (a photo of the watch with a note of your choosing) from any seller, regardless of their transaction history. For the highest security, a live video call is the best way to confirm the seller physically has the watch.
If a seller refuses these basic checks or you see any red flags, stop the transaction immediately.
Remember: A real seller with a genuine watch has nothing to hide and will understand your need for caution.
Sellers Comments: This is ref# 2863-3642-53B as listed in the current catalog. It is the classic layout with Day of the Month and Month displayed through 2 windows above the centerline, and the moon phase and sweep small seconds hand below. The date is displayed by a hand with a half-moon cutout pointing to numbers on the circumference of the dial. Very elegant. I bought this in April/May 2010 as second owner; it was bought originally from AD Tourneau NYC, and I also bought it from an AS - this is no gray market timepiece. It features BP's patented underlug correctors for the calendar, as well as BP's special tool to do so. I also have 2 of Blancpain's special gold-plated, curved spring bars for use if one does a lot of strap changes. The current strap is the original dark brown crocodile Blancpain strap, showing little or no use.
I have only worn the watch 2-3 times, and never outside my home. I am szelling only because the 40mm is a bit too large for my slender wrist, and since this is a sporty but elegant timepiece, looks mean a lot. Many would have absolutely no issue with the size, since the BP trademark stepped double bezel makes the watch look smaller than most thin 40's. But I believe watches are to be worn, not to be musueum pieces, and most of the time my Blancpain has sat in a climate-controlled safe. It needs a new home, and I am pricing it fairly considering its age and overall condition/finish and provenance.
Watch Condition: Mint - watch has been polished to a high degree of luster and I can see no defects to the naked eye - perhaps a few spiderweb scratches under a 10x Zeiss loupe, and the tiniest ding or two as well. It keeps great time - 1-2 seconds fast a day, and even a bit more accurate if one wants to dabble with positioning. The clear caseback lets one see the calibre 6763 with a rhodium plated winding rotor in the cotes de Geneve style and understated Leman monochrome finish.
