The Lip Blancpain FF, and the 50th Anniversary

When you have a look at the magic world of FF, and playing the game of the comparisons between the Original and the Re Editions ( which is a game I love a lot..LOL ), you discover very interesting things.

Here is the Blancpain Lip:

 

For once, the indexes are not round, as on the Mil Spec or the " No Rad ", but rectangular, as on the Early FF From 1953.

But a FF is and will always be a FF, a spectacular watch, with an elegant case, a huge plexy, a very nice dial which gets with time a superb patina.

Have a look at these Macros:







These Golden Writings are awesome..They match with the patina of the indexes and numbers!



And you will certainly notice that the dial is turning a bit brown...Which adds Beauty to this FF!

The interesting thing is to compare it to the 50th Anniversary:

Same numbers, same rectangular indexes ( although circeld on the 50th Anniversary ), and ...



Same bezel, which is very pure with this graduation each 15 minutes!

Quite the same size ( 1mm bigger for the Original ), and the 50th Anniversary is a bit thicker...

Same details we also can notice on the FF From Year 1953, with the exception of the lack of " Lip " on the dial, and the white writings instead of golden on the Lip...



These Blancpain FF Rules, indeed!

Holpe you will enjoy this post!

Best.
