Blancpain

In its past Blancpain has created a number of iconic dial variations we now have become appreciative of and allowed collectors a reason to chase. Separated mainly into several categories including the early RI, 3/6/9/12, No Radiation, and Milspecs. And wi...  

I don't know how this dials were made but you have noted and started a very special post. I hope the answer help us to increase our knowlege about these amazing vintage blancpain's!! Thank you

The " Swiss " of the US NAVY is one of them, the others being the AM, and, of course, the TR 900s. While reading you, I had a smile on my face as it reminded me a guy who posted a photo of my early Milspec with the Swiss mention just under the moisture in... 

Great observations, and some points I'd never noticed before. Very informative. Cheers Tony

It is a violation of our forum rules, and I would really appreciate you don't repeat that. Best, Nicolas

but in what way am I promoting my sales with this observational post? Am I mentioning that one of my Milspecs is for sale due to this article? If so, please let me know how this is violating the rules. I could have not caught that on my side or understood... 

You put for sale on our collectors market. Sorry, but i see the link. Sorry that you don't see it. That, we don't accept on PPRO. You are clealrly promoting your watch, even if you don't say it is for sale on our collectors market. Best, Niciolas

Well said and I agree. The serials on these early BP are all over the place and I cannot really find any consistency with the dial eras. We definitely shall meet up again to test out our pieces! It will be interesting to see if there are any fluctuations ... 

We have a rule here that you cannot post pictures or talk about a watch you'll be posting for sale for a minimum period of 60 days. This is to prevent "shilling", whether inadvertent or not. Great post btw! Cheers, Anthony

I fully understand now that it was a timing error on my part with regards to this post. I will make sure the same situation will not happen again. But thank you for your sincere response :-)) Enjoy the post for what it is. Best, Jon

Best, Jon

thanks for taking the time to put this together and post it, jon. we could certainly use more informative posts like this on the BP forum.

Blancpains are definitely some of the more rare and unique looking vintages out there. We should gather our knowledge and predictions together to formulate better estimates and assumptions for these pieces. Thank you for your support my friend!! Best, Jon...
