projectologist Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Picked up this vintage piece when the Erfurt Combo was in Chicago this past weekend for the 1st annual Vintage GTG. Beautifully reworked case, gen crystal, amazing Ross dial vintagized to perfection by Helmut and all set off by Gunny's latest 1:1 vintage Panerai strap. Note that the Angelus movement only has the single engraving per the period correct movements used by Panerai. For me it helps make up a little for not being the non-alarm version. Excuse the lo-res phone pics as I didn't take a camera with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcsherry Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Amazing pickup. You mention it's not a fantasy piece - I'm not questioning that, but would you happen to have a photo of an original Angelus destro? Very curious now! The flat hands work well with the dial, and if I ever find a strap 1/2 as good as that, I'll be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flat hands work well with the dial, and if I ever find a strap 1/2 as good as that, I'll be happy I don't have an Angelus destro pic, but as acknowledged in Volker's book, many variations exist and have yet to all be documented. Plus VDB said that so far several Destros are known to exist, but have not been photo-documented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Awesome watch sir and looks perfect with that strap. Good to learn a little of the provenence of vintage destros - surely they must have been created at one point in the past probably at the request of some Palombari ? Thanks for sharing FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
