olreon Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 hello, this is my 6152 project watch. i have built it from a fiddy case (0117/1950). as you can see it has a plexi crystal which was handcrafted by me. this was a lot of work and i did have to make a couple till i made the perfect one. what do you think? or and here 2 gen pics for comparsion (i know these are 6152 radiomirs, but i don´t have better pics of a marina militare with crown guard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris5264 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 great work,,,,very impressive. the crystal looks perfect to me. What dial is that? Davidsens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olreon Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 hello, @chris5264 the dial is from a mm20 rep. but i think that davidsen also carry´s them. best wishes olreon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyback Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 That's a beautiful work! Congrats Olreon! May be you need a tall plexi like my 6152/1 project? Do you have milled the "reg tm" engraving on your crownguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropic Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) Beautifull Watch! How did You Proces The Plexi? To Give it A real Vintage Finnish it needs some Ageing Effects; Davidsen Dials Are Custom made And not like the standard MM20 Asian Reps wich Cutout numerals are to Fat. The Orange Lume Looks Good, Did You Aply this Yourself? Edited October 17, 2006 by Tropic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) First let me say you did great on your piece. As a long time collector and a connoiseur of vintage Panny and the history I had many chances to hold the original 6152 (and others from the early 1940ies) in my hands. Let me say........the most of them differ in dial, hands and plexi! But what I never saw a round shaped/domed crystal/plexi like the FIDDY has it in saphir, all plexis I could inspect were domed and poke out of the bezel by 2-3mm. Have a look at this piece, is it real or fake????? Best wishes, Theo P.S.: This is really easy for the experts, really easy, its kindergarten!

To Give it A real Vintage Finnish it needs some Ageing Effects; Davidsen Dials Are Custom made And not like the standard MM20 Asian Reps wich Cutout numerals are to Fat. The Orange Lume Looks Good, Did You Aply this Yourself? hello, the plexi was crafted from a 50mmx50mmx10mm plexiplate. i did this by my own. (i got another project on the way and i will make some pics of the making of the plexi) the orange/brown lume was also done by myselfe. i used colored pencils. this was very easy. but it is is not that easy to explain in words hoe the watch was done. as said, i got another project watch on the way. this should be then a luminor panerai. this time i will make a photostory.... casue a picture says more then 1000 words. best wishes olreon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 @ finepics the watch you show is..........real. But I recently saw some reps (handmade) with a good BREVET+ engraving....unfortunately on the wrong side of the case P.S.: .....these caseback of my watch shown was handmade and extremly expensive.....the maker will never do this again, he hates me now :laugh: P.P.S.: Good eyes saw the screws .... and correct, it should NOT have screws but pins!

I prefer the version in the Panerai brochure with the flipped CG, the Brev Ital engraving on the front looks so good! Any thoughts on how you'll do a dial?
