Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Tribute to Mil Spec
Model ref 5008-1130-52A bought new from New Cavendish Jewellers 23/11/17.
The watch has been mine since March 2018. The 40mm case size makes it much more wearable than the regular Fifty Fathoms for those with normal sized wrists.
It's a rare watch. Number 105 of 500 & comes as a complete package as follows.
Paper / card Blancpain carry bag, outer box in good condition, genuine Blancpain logo'd Peli case, international warranty card, Blancpain cleaning cloth (never been out of the plastic bag), limited production certificate, divers log book, technical & service booklet with leather cover, what I assume to be the instruction manual still in the cellophane.
The Blancpain sail cloth strap has hardly been used. I've always worn the watch on either a black NATO or the black with orange stitching Zuludiver sail cloth strap (with QR spring bars) in the pics. This strap really suits the watch and is included.
IMHO the watch is as near to mint as a watch that has been worn can be, with only a few minor hairlines visible via a 10x loupe. The crystal & bezel insert look to be perfect.
I'm asking £15,000 + postage for this which I hope is fair. There are a few on Chrono24 at present. All comfortably more expensive than mine.
Face to face much preferred for this due to the value & the weight of the package. I'm in Haslemere, Surrey, but will meet a buyer half way within reason (say 100 miles driving distance).

Sinn EZM1 3H dial
This is a rare opportunity to grab a bit of a grail in this condition.
These pictures taken yesterday
This watch is in superb condition & is a very full set coming with the inner & outer Sinn box, screwdriver, instructions, hang tag, spare bracelet link, a pair of uncut black 20mm Sinn rubbers (no clasp), a spare link for the bracelet & a Sinn service case.
The lume plots have aged beautifully and the hands are a very close match as I hope you can see from the photos.
The watch is fairly loose on my 7.25" wrist with 2 adjustment holes remaining & as mentioned there is a spare link.
The bracelet clasp has the divers extension and does have a few swirlies.
The case, bezel & crystal look to be unmarked. The dial & hands are very clean.
The chrono & date function work as they should.
Timekeeping is good, but it's hard to be precise without a running second hand function.
I got the watch in 2015. It had a big service at Sinn costing €905 (receipt & replaced parts included) in Feb 2017 - original dial & handset retained. When I got the watch back from Sinn I noticed the crystal was marked so Sinn replaced that & re-gassed the watch FOC. I then had the winding mechanism lubed & the watch re-gassed by TWR in Feb 2020. Both those receipts included also.
In the interest of full disclosure the winding is a not perfectly smooth so it may need another lube, or possibly a new winding stem / tube at some point in the future.
These watches have increased in value quite a lot in recent years. There is only one 3H model on Chrono 24 at present & that's POA.
I'm going to ask £7,250 which I hope is fair including RMSD UK shipping, but F2F preferred. I'm in Haslemere, Surrey.
No trades thanks, except perhaps a Damasko DC57 or a Sinn 103 Ti Diapal.
Thanks for looking.
Big reduction to £6,500 & I'm now sorted for a Sinn 103 so that's no longer a trade option.This is a rare opportunity to grab a bit of a grail in this condition.
