earlgrey-erfurt

welcome on board i like your country very much years ago but very impressing holiday with backback cheers from Germany helmut

Steph forget to tell: the 6152 1 case has a Brevet engraving with unique numbers between the lugs for this case: 124643 so the new owner will get a unique piece of time too GEN: Homage: just for Info Helmut

thanks ross all three are new to me cheers helmut

I see many hours of work but the result speaks for itself i am drooling on it cheers helmut

oh man so much work on it but what you have done reflects your outstanding skills and your love to work on watches dont want to know how many time and stems you invest for getting this result cheers helmut

I hope Seniore Omeris do, and not being angry using a pic of him and his watch. And of course Volker too because its in his famous Vintage Book. as Clnt statet one of the best Books to learn something of Panerai history hope to see soon the second part of Vintage Panerai cheers Helmut

another grail watch here have fun with it S. Cheers helmut

For Info The welded crowntube/case looks only gray on the pics in real it has the same color as the case different lightning exposure and the springbars make the strapchanging so easy cool detail cheers Helmut

This are the first fingerprints which are in the same line as cotes de Geneve... The movement plates are not in the best condition but a lot of years old the movement works for month since our first fabulous GTG in Erfurt ok the Picture shows not every detail of the plate but if you look close they (fingerprints) are all in paralel lines @ Vla: i see the grey hairs growing on Stephans head, but this happen often to these 8 Days movments same problem on a watch that lays upside down for running (not angelus but 8 days) and thanks The Zigmeister for info cheers helmut

This short bar (on both sides of the lugs) are used for easier strapchanging, cause the disassambling of the ones that Ross described quickly failed. So they shorten the long ones, cut off on both sides and so theres enough length for fixing the strap (thicker straps do not work) cheers Helmut

normally not my favourite model but this one is is real cool!!!!!!! cheers helmut

nice job c dont put a cali dial in it the case is too fat for it in highst cheers helmut

As i have some background information from VDB Stephan i wanna go inline with the statement of T If you wanna have a perfect as new working movement in age of 70 years you have to look for every detail piece to get this assambled you need more than two or three movements. (and of course many time and a goodwatchman) one or two steps below and with luck you get one movement which needs only cleaning, but this one has 70 years of mechanical use behind too. I always say to Stephan that he sell his watches too cheap. No one can imagine how much time and getting grey hairs is in his watches. Sometimes the watch is pefecty assembled and then it stops again without knowing what happend... His favor is to build watches, so sometimes the way is the target and this is one reason that his watches cost not 5000 or 10000 dollar. But under the line they have to (This is not a post to raise the prices, but for those who want to have a cheapo cheapo perfect Vintage Watch) Cheers Helmut
