Interesting purchase.
I was offered a lot of old vintage parts a few months ago. The parts came out of a Blancpain service center that closed a long time ago. Her is a photo when i first got the parts. I have labeled and bagged up all the parts and photographed them in groups according to types if parts. It took a few days to organizing but it was quite surreal to have such a collection. I will post photos over the next week and there are some interesting parts. Brian
Did you meet Ali Baba? :) I can't wait to see more of what you found! [nt]

Happy with you

Thanks guys.
I will start with some bezels. There seem to be a combination of both small case and large case bezels. I have been considering making some acrylic insert for the big cases bezels. If you check out the back of the big bezels there are different types of bezels.

I think the smooth bezel are for very early fifty fathoms.
If anyone has seen a smooth bezel please let me know. How about some dust covers. Ten point if someone can tell me what the big dust cover fits!
Here are case back photos.
Nothing very early. I an not sure what the bottom case back would fit. It does not have a serial number. Brian
Sure.
The lip is very nice dial. The Ri looks tropic but would look nice in a early watch. I think a few of the dials are re-dials but to be honest i don't know much about small case bp's.

Small case BP ?
The dials you showed us fit the big cases, I think.
The big bottom, one part bottom is interesting. It could be for the newer, not so accepted cases, "polnish marine" ?
What about the plexis? Different shapes?
Your package keeps the fire burning.

The 12-3-6-9 with the dots is a burner! This message has been edited by fifty fathoms on 2016-06-16 12:48:19
Here are some crystal shots.
The smaller crystal is much higher than the larger crystal. I have not researched the large crystal yet. Brian
The Lip Blancpain With the indicator? No way! All original, to me. [nt]

Yes. The lip is all original. The one on the top right might be a redial.
Super sick photos tomorrow!! Brian
