flyback Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 please take a look at this 6152 for sale : http://www.clubpanerai.com/index.asp?notiz...ezionescelta=32 Don't you think the case would be totally polished instead of being brushed ? The seller says that 'Officine Panerai" was added after (not before)... And it is a 6152, not a 6152/1... A lot of mistakes from this ad.

MADRED7 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 This is an old watch...nearly 60 years of age....so you want expect this case to be shiny and polished all the way. The OP print was redone later...by whom? Noone knows.....but anyway, this watch is real and worth every penny (depends on your point of view).

flyback Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 You don't understand the way i was wondering why this case was brushed. I know the watch is real. I collect a lot of gen pics for my projects and that's the first time i see a 6152 case that is not polished. I have a french 1992 (seventeen years ago ) auction sales catalog with a similar watch and the case is polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweattdogg Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 The case was probably really beat up at some point and the owner decided to have the outside brushed to hide all the scratches and dings. Over 50-60 years who knows what could have happened to that watch. Either way it's a great looking watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlgrey-erfurt Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Overworked or not a true gen! its a Ref for 6152 -1 without CG The Case has rounded sides The Case of 6152 has an edge on the sides like this one Cheers Helmut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Eastwood Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I agree with Helmut, it's a 6152/1 without CG. It's not the only one gen (or partialy gen) i have see with brushed case. I have pic of gen 6152/1 with brushed case and CG, with ang240. To be honest, i never understand how this watch was made polished, brushed is more logic for military watch and cost nothing more.

Is it possible to show us your pic of the entirely brushed 6152/1 your talking about ? Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
