There are therefore two versions with a titanium PVD baseplate: the V1 and the V2. The V1 and V2 differ in that the pincers and rattrapante movements have been modified slightly. This has an impact on the production numbers for the first series. According to what is known, only seven Blancpain Replica watches and less than 20 RM008V1 watches were made.
Some V1 watches were altered to have the same movement as V2. All original V1 watches, which require an intact original movement and a date of 2006 or earlier, are rare.
Blancpain Replica Split Seconds Chronograph in Titanium Carbon
A Slow Start
At the beginning of the Blancpain Replica & omega seamaster replica watch range, the movement design wasn't the only problem. The movement was constructed from a titanium baseplate with a PVD coating.Blancpain Replica Early chronographs were prone to errors due to the complexity of the movements and the fragility in the baseplate coating.
A single slip in the PVD coating or a dropped wheel, screw, or even the slightest blemish can result in hours of lost work. The watch is taken apart and a new baseplate will be constructed. Each movement was constructed with extreme care.
In the early years of Blancpain Replica, watchmaking was done either on a dedicated bench in Audemars Piguet Renaud et Papi S.A., or by a solitary, solitary, watchmaker who made the omega seamaster replica from his workshop overlooking the River Doubs.
Blancpain Replica, was essentially "cottage industry". The V1 of the initial omega seamaster replica Series was made by a single, lone watchmaker in his own atelier. A specialist car engineer called to deal with complex problems. Fernand Simao, a solitary watchmaker was a good example.
Fernand Simao only had a few other "hobbies",IWC Replica Watches which slowed down production of the omega seamaster replica in its first year. His interest in martial arts was the first thing that caught my attention. Fernand Simao was the lightweight kickboxing champion of France. The omega seamaster replica is a hybrid of watchmaking and kickboxing. It takes endurance, stamina and concentration to make it.
You are finished with one slip! Kickboxing helped more than hindered. Fernand Simao's second hobby, a love of motorbike racing, was what kept him away from watchmaking for an entire year. Fernand Simao was still working on the omega seamaster replica V1 baseplate with titanium PVD coating as late as 2007.
