Early circa-1953 full-size Fifty Fathoms exemplars relevant to the first-year style; auction records do not establish commercial-sale status or identify the first commercially sold configuration.
Historical first-generation style label; no single numeric reference is established. The 41 mm selection applies to two body-read early circa-1953 specimens and FHH model history. The auction listings do not prove either case was the first commercially sold configuration. Hairspring and Bulang disagree on diameter for the same serial 37XX specimen, so that conflict remains visible.

Phillips case 4381 and Chiswick case 5318 independently state 41 mm for early circa-1953 examples; FHH gives 41 mm for the 1953 original. These sources do not establish first-commercial-sale status. Hairspring and Bulang disagree at 41/40 mm for the same serial 37XX specimen, so that conflict remains separate. Sources differHairspring and Bulang describe the same serial 37XX watch but list 41 mm and 40 mm respectively. Neither source explains the difference.

Bulang W3356 serial 301xxx No-Rad Date specimen
Bulang & Sons W3356 listing identifies the No-Rad date watch and serial 301xxx, dating to the early 1960s. Blancpain historical press text identifies RPGA 1 as the calendar-based variant of BUND No Rad. This date-equipped Bulang specimen is consistent with that variant, but its listing does not state RPGA 1, so the code is not assigned to this specimen.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms BUND No Rad, ref. RPG.1, Man’s Fine Life and Antiquorum evidence
Official Blancpain history identifies the mid-1960s German military RPG 1 as the BUND No Rad; Antiquorum lot 453 identifies exact ref. RPG.1, case 208020, circa 1965, and a 41 mm diameter. Man’s Fine Life describes the non-date Bundeswehr No-Rad variant and two owned examples, giving approx. 40 mm width and around 50 mm lug-to-lug. Keep the 40 mm claim as a real alternative observation and retain the selection rationale for the exact-reference 41 mm auction claim. The official 40.3 mm dimension is for the modern Tribute ref. 5008D and does not apply.
