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.
Hello Gentlemen, For sale, is a gorgeous original and early vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Gilt Double SWISS Milspec 1. These Milspecs are extremely rare and almost never come up for sale. This particular variation is the ultra rare Double SWISS configuration and only seen on few Milspecs. Originally belonging to an Ex-US Naval Laboratory dive instructor, it comes with its original strap and original past Blancpain service papers. The original Fifty Fathoms have become extremely difficult to source and sought after and being an early gilt Milspec 1Double SWISS, this example is no exception! A very rare opportunity and a must have for any serious collector. Dial: Milspec dial configurations are extremely rare and being a Double SWISS only adds to its rarity. Finding one is near impossible in most cases. The radium markers and hands are in excellent condition with no discoloration and are 100% matching. All lettering and fonts are perfectly clear and legible. Uniquely, the dial is very evenly crazed from age that only adds to the beauty of this amazing and rare piece. Bezel: The original radium Bakelite bezel is in exceptional, perfect and crack-free condition. Completely even in color, it has formed a deep rich patina over the years. This is easily one of the best Blancpain bezels I have seen before. The outer bezel is also in great condition and all teeth are sharp and intact. Case: The case is in fantastic condition with minimal polishing from Blancpain in the past. It still retains its complete original Microbiled/matte look and texture. The edges are all sharp and defined and the lugs, being very full, still resemble the original shape. Serial numbers are clearly visible on the caseback. Accessories: Coincidentally, this piece comes with its originally supplied Blancpain nato strap (very rarely seen) and also its original Blancpain service paperwork. An email is also included written by the original owner explaining the comings of this piece. Payment by BANK WIRE. Will welcome Face to Face transactions also. MANY REFERENCES AVAILABLE. PURCHASE WITH CONFIDENCE. FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR INQUIRIES.
