FS: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 3H Bund

Up for sale is my BP FF Bund.
I bought this a while ago from a dealer in Germany.

Condition report...
Case & bezel in great shape, no major dings or scratches. I haven’t polished it, and case edges are sharp. Some light scratches, but nothing to write home about. Worst scratch is on the North West lug, but again it’s very light.
Crown has a deep scratch in it. Small scratch on the glass just above & below the BP logo.
Original Lume still glows on dial/hands and the bezel triangle. (it’s not very bright, but pretty good for it’s age). Bezel Lume triangle has the infamous ‘split’, you probably know, but it’s a common trait - something to do with the expansion/contraction of the bezel material. It’s a good sign, shows it’s original.
Dial has some very minor paint loss right at the edge on the left hand side - difficult to see, but it’s there.
Serial is 1069.
Bezel rotates smoothly without click in both directions (as it should), it’s not loose, but has a nice smooth firm action. Bezel upper surface is in superb condition.
Original fixed spring bars. These can be replaced with removable versions for more strap options.
Comes on a NATO strap and with a Blancpain zipped & padded soft Service pouch.
Service history unknown.
