Blancpain

The subtle chocolate hue of my Vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Rotomatic Incabloc.

 

Which is a big part of its charm.

Still diveable?

No, not anymore, but I don't really care. ;) [nt]

Agreed.

 
By: K-Lo : February 24th, 2020-07:41
Still a beauty that has stood the test of time. I am glad you shown me more of this piece.

Here you are.

Thank you Sir....

This is an awesome piece, wishing you great health as you wear it Counselor. A time when tool watches, were, actually, tool watches. Something to be said about that!

It is. Not my favorite among the vintage FF, but still, a lovely and very interesting one. [nt]

Got it Sir...

Would it be too much to ask what is your favorite vintage FF?

Well, I will come back to that topic soon... ;) [nt]

Fantastic watch! Was it more common than the sub in the 50s and 60s? [nt]

 
By: Reuven Malter : February 24th, 2020-08:16

No, but both the FF and the Sub were pioneers at that time. [nt]

History of divers

 
By: Jurry : February 25th, 2020-01:59
I once read a great article on the history of the FF. If memory serves me right, the French Naval Forces had issued a request to bid to several manufacturers to produce a divers watch for their new squadron that would perform underwater diving missions. V... 

Thank you very much Jurry. Very informative! [nt]

Blancpain and... Rolex. Both the Submariner and the Fifty Fathoms were unveiled at the Basel Fair in... 1954. [nt]

Magnificient vintage divewatch. How do you keep it in such remarkable condition? [nt]

I starting to understand more and more why this is truly an iconic piece.

Be careful, they are very addictive pieces... [nt]

That’s the problem

 
By: Jurry : February 25th, 2020-01:53
That’s exactly the problem with this hobby of ours: you see more, you admire more and you want more hahaha For now I’m more than happy with my Bathyscape

Especially with the vintage FF. They have so much charm! [nt]
