Nightwatch Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 There was an old, long thread with several references to similar models http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/166629-blancpain-fifty-fathoms-preview/. DSN makes hommages and Dagaz sells dials (for Seikos). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty scarce, but I went to WatchUSeek after your PM and there have been 3 or 4 for sale on WUS there were three bezel styles, 50,60 and 70 which corresponded to three different bezel configurations on the Blancpain's , also there were date, no date and dials with numbers and some with only markers. There was also for a very, very short while one offered with and acrylic bezel with lumed numbers and markers. I had one of these, bought it new from MKII, and in a moment of insanity, I sold it. Been trying to find another one ever since to no avail. These are great watches, and to me, the closest to the vintage Blancpain that you can find and still retain a modern case, water resistance, and a good dependable ETA2824 movement.

jigelow Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Helson Skindiver is pretty sweet if you can get one. I think they use miyotas, now, though. A bit pricey for that. http://www.helsonwatch.com/skindiver.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
