Panerai only auction sale to be held in Paris, France december 8, 2014 : vintage, pre-v, pre-a.... pdf catalog to download ! http://www.artcurial.com/pdf/2014/2527.pdf
Enjoy !
Following is a pic of an easy to complete project.
Took some parts i already have (a chinese 6497, one sterile dial painted a long time ago with transluscent orange varnish) plus a new Getat Radiomir case with a domed plexi to build this daily beater.
Add an oiled Savage strap, et voil
@panera :
I use the sterile dsn crown you see in the pic, and brushed it.
To get a vintage look to your 26mm springbars, file the slot to erase it and use capecod to get it shiny.
it's time to share my latest project : a 6152/1 destro.
Specs are following :
-dsn case
-nw 6152/1 flat caseback
-nw one-off case ring to fit 6497
-swiss 6497 with perlage on crown wheel and ratchet wheel (i know it's difficult to see in the pictures...)
-rmc dial, vintage cream color acrylic paint and rhodo
To R : Are Cortebert 616/Molnija 3602 dimension the same ? I Think so because Russians bought the tooling from Cortbert.
To Dadog13 : I let you choose the price that you think is fair. Your project, your price !
