A CLOSE-UP look at NOS
Like many dive watches in the 50's and 60's, many Blancpains were purely used for their intended purposes. They were not safe queens at all....a relatively cheap affordable tool watch. Very rarely does anyone ever come across a real NOS piece, hence collectors don't often get the opportunity to have any reference point to how they looked or felt when it first came fresh out of the factory. So it becomes a real treat when we get this opportunity to see up-close the finish and details of a NOS case as it left the factory.
Lucky for us, this happens to be a TR900 case. This pic demonstrates its micro-bile finish perfectly.
And as always a "STACKED" photo

The details on the case are quite amazing and the finish it stunning! I am sure there is a movement sitting in a draw somewhere just waiting to get reunited. Brian
