Vintage blancpain aqualung

Recommended Posts

Alhig72

I decided I wanted to do something different to make a change from a vintage Rolex or Tudor so I contacted Davidson and got this aqualung.

 

In terms of accuracy the case has its limitations but a nice watch,

 

I re-lumed and aged the dial, aged the case and took some of the shine off of the bakelite insert.
