Blancpain Aqua Lung Automatic No Radiation Tribute Homage Watch
Item History & Price
Blancpain Aqua Lung Automatic No Radiation Watch
I am not sure as to whether this is a tribute or homage watch and Blancpain parts have been used, or whether this is a Blancpain with parts added. Due to this uncertainty, and I do not want to be misleading to you, I'm listing this as a tribute watch paying homage to the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.
I would like to be transparent as possible with this watch. This is a valuable collector's timepiece and I would like you to b...e sure before purchasing this. I have built an honest reputation as a trader of used watches with many loyal and satisfied customers worldwide. This watch was bought as part of a 200-piece vintage watch lot from Japan. I do not know enough about this watch to present it confidently as fully authentic.
I buy a lot of vintage hi-end, mid-range and standard watches by bulk. This watch was part of a recent purchase and looking at the watch and reading the numerous articles, blogs and replies online regarding the Blancpain Aqua Lung, especially one with a 301417 serial number on the back, I am unsure as to whether this is original.
Please look at the photographs and decide for yourself. I am a watch trader and despite a passion for vintage watches and a real enjoyment in leaning about them, with the volume of watches I receive and trade, I do not have the time to research them all. You are the discerning professional and your knowledge and opinion is welcomed and appreciated. If you would like any further photographs, please ask and they will be added.
The watch appears to have sone original parts. The crown has been replaced to a push-pull crown. The bezel has been added.
The case back is in two parts with a separate scewback ring which fastens the case back in place. The engraved wording reads Shook Proof.
The oscillating weight reads Swiss Made Blancpain Rayville . SA. There isn't any further lettering on the rest of the movement. There is the number 1709 engraved in the movement.
The watch is in a great condition. Keeps time and the movement fully working.
The black leather watch band is quite worn and there are a few surface light scratches to the crystal glass front.
