FS: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Chronograph (vintage tribute Ref 5885) - 100% complete, bracelet & strap both

--- Accessories: 100% complete - all boxes and papers - AMAZING SET including the Pelican Box
--- Watch comes: Blancpain Kevlar Strap with Blancpain tang buckle -- and Blancpain bracelet included too!
--- Case condition: 45mm case, very nice condition, minor wear, 90% to be consverative

My view on this watch:

Check out the first picture --- the $100,000 vintage Fifty Fathoms (image source: Phillips Auctions)
Notice the bezel - the 15 30 45.
And the font of the numerals.
And the "Air Command" on the Dial.
And the hash markers on the 6 o'clock counter.

​The rare modern Ref 5885 for sale here is *THE* Fifty Fathoms to own and a tribute to this all time classic.

Amazing watch, 100% Complete, with BOTH amazing bracelet and strap/buckle and all papers

The fit and finish on this watch is beyond superb, incredible watch.

This is a VERY tough watch reference to find, especially with both bracelet and strap
Priced at $9,500 -- wire only and price includes free shipping CONUS FedEx insured from here in San Francisco, CA. Lots of references. Thanks for looking!

Vintage reference - watch was designed with this in mind (image source: Phillips)



The watch for sale, the modern "vintage tribute" 50 Fathoms Chronograph - Ref 5885
