New Arrival the “Original” Divers' Watch
Hotbulb replied to Hotbulb's topic in Watch Discussion Forum
it was a bit of a leap of faith tbh so It might be a good idea to have it accredited with Blancpain , I have tried to do some research but read on one site that there is around 50 different variants of the Fifty Fathons watch, I found this one which appears to be near on identical to mine with the same movement https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1960-Blancpain-Rayville-Aqua-Lung-1000ft-Diver-Bold-Pre-Radiation-Type-SEAL/303557675495 -
Got a Message earlier this week asking if I was interested in buying this, well these come up very often at the price offered so I have managed to PX in some watches that I never really bonded with so hasn’t hurt the bank balance which is a bonus One of these has been on my radar for a little while as the “original” Divers watch that many have copied and aspired to over the years, being a “Aqua Lung” it was sold under the Jaques Cousteau line of sub Aqua equipment to the domestic market mainly , there’s quite a good blog of the history which explains it far better than me here http:

Your not going mad They came with bezels fitted both ways ie counting backwards or forwards , can’t find out why but seems more common to be counting backwards

New battery arrived just now so changed over to my F300

Been wearing a Royal Navy CWC all day whilst doing odd jobs and spending far to much time looking at Russian watches after falling in love with a certain someone’s watch on here .....more of that to come when it arrives

Well I was going to give this an airing today but the battery has died so ordered some new , this is the last of my Hummer watches but did manage to find my Accuton service and technical books bought from the states a few years back , the white technical one dates from 1960 , facts about from 1964 and the pink 214/218 service manuals from 1969
