December 6th, 2018: Today at Christies next chance for one of us (unfortunately not for me) to get a dream come true... Cheers, Fritz Photo credit: Christies

Hello Nicolas, thank you for your comment. The dial for me seems never been refurbished and I'm not sure, whether a small crown is the right one for this watch. But if the missing of some original (!) luminous material which vanished over the decades is a serious problem for you, I of course have to

Hello Nicolas, if you are still hunting for an authentic LIP Blancpain, 3-6-9-12-dial, original hands, early bezel (diamond, small letters), big crown, movement R.108 (base: AS 1361 N), #273xxx, please let me know. I would be as well interested in a trade with one of your beautiful early MILSPEC I.

Dear Sir, actually I offer two early Fifty Fathoms from my personal collection on Please check their links: and If you are interested in one of these rare Blancpain wristwatches, please contact me directly via steinmann@ Of course I can send to you further pictures. Thanks You. Best regards, Frit

There is only SWISS written.

Hello Nicolas, thanks a lot for your advice. Here they are, the pictures of one of my babies. Cordially, Fritz

Nicolas, as you might have seen, I'm new to this board. Of course, I wanted to send better pictures to the board, but I failed. Sorry for that. Could you please be so kind to tell me how to send bigger and better pictures? Is the PC picture uploader offered the right way? Thanks, Fritz
