Please help identify this Bathyscaphe
Hi,
I am having trouble identifying the age, etc.. of this particular Bathyscaphe. It is a small watch (I don't know the exact dimensions) and is, as the pictures will show, in SS. It keeps perfect time, automatic with date, screw down crown and on the back is marked 25 ATMOS and 800 FEET. I would appreciate any information that anyone has about this watch (I haven't been able to find anything on-line). Also, any idea of the current market value of it? Thank you in advance,
Ghooper

I have also.....

Hi
I did not see this Batyscaphe before, but I think it is a "marriage". Blancpain normally used AS Anton Schild movements, and the logo on the crown is not from BP as well. Best regards Stephan
