Hi! Please tell me what you think about the this Blancpain movement: real or fake? If real, any other relevant info would be very helpful... Many thanks    | ||

Most vintage BP movements are junk, so though it is possible this is fake, it isn't all that far off from the original. What caliber is it? | ||

Even if the quality of vintage BP movements are far from current ones, i don�t think you can call them "junk". I think this is a A Schild derived caliber, maybe cal. 1913. Thank you. | ||

Ok, so they're very low grade mass produced movements. BP did use schilds and they made no modification to them other than the rotor engraving. Your best best to examine the rest of the watch (if you have it) to have a shot at authenticating it. |
