You can probably tell by now that I'm quite into this topic and have a fascination for this mysterious reference😅

So anyway, I did a little "research" to confirm that the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms in Y1545 Squale case was not only a one piece prototype run.

Based on these photos I found I think it can be said with certainty that there are at least 3 watches with the same design and specs out there.

Looking at the lume pip, the different lume plot imperfections, the bezels and the condition of the hands on each clearly confirms that. Not to mention the dates and locations they were offered.

Just thought you might find it interesting.

Wow that is a nice little guy, congrats! I prefer the smaller case watches, even in divers. Any leads to track down these vintage beauties?

I love the brand and their connection to the diving sport and brands like Blancpain that many believes is a good marketing tactic they use.

Do you guys think this Blancpain reference was legit and issued in the 1545 Squale cases? I personally don't see why should we doubt it and how one believes this watch was put together just to claim that it's a Blancpain in a Squale case.
