Blancpain FF " 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 ".
As we speak about the new FFs releases and the Tribute, here is a " real Mac Coy " from the end of the 50ies, one of my very favourite FF.
Not mine, though, but I had the opportunity to see it in the flesh during our last European GTG, and I couldn't miss the opportunity to take some pictures of this beauty.
41 mm SS polished case, Radium " 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 " dial, small crown, domed plexy, superb bakelite bezel, Cal 1361.
And, as often the great " litterature " engraved on the case back:
A great example of Vintage fascination!
Best,
Nicolas

Great watch!
That is the only problem with Vintage Blancpain. There are just so few of them!!! It has such a classic look I think that is one of my favorite early blancpain models. It looks like a very early serial number. Well done Nicholas
Not mine, Brian
As I already own the Lip Blancpain which is as old as this one, and which also comes with a 3/ 6 / 9 / 12 dial. But I must admit that, for a moment, the idea to get it crossed my mind. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Ok, Ok, I come out of the wood...
Here, my Lip Blancpain with its awesome 3/ 6 / 9 / 12 dial: Great FF, FF. Can't get rid of admiring your beauty. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-06-25 13:03:24...

Another very nice bird, Terence.
Can't get rid of your 1 000 feet, my friend. Thanks for posting! Best, Nicolas
One old watch but I found amazing and exciting when I read your GTG post because
Marco van Basten was my biggest soccer idol ever since I played soccer starting at 12. Soooooooooooo good that you have chance to discuss and meet him.
Well, Terence...
I have to confess that I cheated a bit on Marco Van Basten. In fact, it is one of us, Michel. But he looks so much like Marco Van Basten that I couldn't resist. Best, my friend. Nicolas
LOL! I Got trapped !! hahaha.
Thanks for telling and it was a great meeting up in Paris thou.
Double thanks
Thanks for all these pictures...and thanks not to have bought it directly to the previous owner....I'm happy wearing it every day now!!! Best, Jean-Christophe
He He, Jean Christophe... You were faster than me, on this one. :)
Welcome here, by the way! Enjoy your new treasure, and welcome to the FF Gang! Best, Nicolas
