Speaking of Blancpain
This is proof of the big splash the first Sub made (look, me too):
Frans. P.S. Blanc = white, pain = bread.

Why has that watch got a "Danger: Radioactivity" sign on the dial?

The Blancpain 50 Fathoms tested in 1952, the first Rolex sub prototype 1953 Wonder if Rolex got there Idea for the Sub,
from the Blancpain,they are very similar.

I often wondered that same thing. Since the 50F came first, it seems Rolex is a knock-off of the whitebread. And here all these Rolex snobs wearing Subs get arsed at hommage watches, copies or fakes, when the Sub is an hommage to a Blancpain. |
