Blancpain Fifty Fathoms No Rad Bund and Milspec. Sunday Nostalgy.
A pair of watches I had some 6 years ago, which I let go to upgrade my Fifty Fathoms collection.
Two watches I loved a lot, and I am somehow still in contact with them, since I know where they are.
Two beauties with a totally different character.
Here is my Sunday Nostalgy:
But it is a pleasure to know that they have a good, a great life with their respective owners
Best,

Upgrade you say ?
Well, yes, on both counts.
These two are wonderful watchs, but when you cross the way of an " AM ", you have to take a quick decision.
Idem for the TR 900.
These are sadly not the only 2 I let go... But we can't get them all!
Best,
Nicolas
Great photo of 2 stunning watches....
one of which I know is still looking just as good!!
cheers Tony
I can understand the nostalgy... Such a nice pieces...
LOL. Gracias, Amigo. Indeed! BUT...
I still have to dig into this theme a bit more... Just a bit more. 
Barakuda, Bund... Lip Blancpain, another ( and a last ) Milspec...
You see, the end i not so close!
Best,
Nicolas
I would make an effort for an early Milspec
Late, but not too late.. To admire those beauties, who were with you.. But can now..
Although, when parting to re-build something else and / or better
the parting feeling is made-up by new joy !
- Look forward..never back.. And no regrets.. For me not that easy, although on a much smaller scale
While I also share a very similiar NoRad ( but Aqua Lung..),
- the Milspec has escaped my somewhat "sub-radar" looking for one .
These FFs, and especially the Milspecs are quite compelling, I find
Therefore, thank you for the nostalgic share,
The problem is to find them. Not really easy.
But once you get them, you keep them.
Golden rule, here.
Best, my friend.
Nicolas.

I have always loved those No Rad dials
I will have to update my collection, one day. You will understand.
But more and more, I am convinced that the platinum rule is to NEVER sell a vintage FF when you are Lucky to find one.
Best,
Nicolas
