There is one in the lot which is spectacular. Probably the nicest I've ever seen.
1964 2014: What is Blancpain preparing for the TR 900 50th Anniversary?
We all know that the first batch of Tornek Rayville was issued to the US Navy in 1964. 2014... That will be 50 years, for this mythical Watch. Would you like to see it re issued as a Tribute? Faithfully, or a modern interpretation? For the 60th anniversar...

Have you ever seen more than 3 TR? It seems to be the perfect number for a pictue, but let me see 4 Tornek in a row, please. I know you can. Cheers, Chris
Yep I agree, also this time...
... 42 is my limit on wristwatches; bigger, only Panerai for me. chris
that would be perfect timing...
...and i good idea. :-) I went to Blancpain Paris' shop today and looked at the Bathyscaphe. I like it but I still prefer the "vintage" style.
No way on the tr-900!
They will probably choose another boring small case bp to update. I dream of a faithful reproduction of the demo. It's perfect! Brian ...
Wow, this one never saw the light before you got it?
TR 900 or Milspec, there is a gap to fill... Yes. Let's keep fingers crossed, my friend Brian. Best, Nicolas
TR-900 or MilSpec I
I love them both, the thing would lead my preference would be only the best, the richest, the exciting provenance. Congrats again Chris
I have learned in the last few years to buy
provenance over condition. Here is a great document from a navy mil spec that I picked up from a family member . It amazing how much information is listed on each log. Brian ...
YES! I love this papers...
...many details, this means so much more than an unpolished case, I agree with you. best, Chris
A big cherry on the cake. But where is the watch mentionned?
Or are my eyes very tired? ( Which is very possible... ;) Best, Nicolas.
Not a bad idea. The numbered series of TR 900 were all issued.
Which is not the " case " of sterile TR 900 case backs. Best, Nicolas
tribute....
i would suggest they just follow what JLC did for polaris et deepsea ! no need to re write or imagine blancpain history/DNA again they have all what they need :-)
anyway
I have the fear BP will miss the chance and will show another super FF 5000 meters with 29 Features the word does not need! I hope for a remake of an early milspec wih the elegance and strengh of the 50s. Good for me will be, I can save the money for a vi...
