marlin22 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Just finished my first set of lug engravings for a 6152/1 build I am putting together. Tried my best to get them as close as I could to the gen engravings, I used many gen pictures to pick up the pattern of the different characters to try to mach them as bast as I could. This build is going to have many custom options on it including case back engravings inside and out on the solid case back and engravings on the plexi on the display case back. It will be running one of my modded 6497-2 movements with custom engravings shown in the last picture. Here are the pictures Here is the BREVET engravings with the main inspiration gen picture on top Here is the SN engravings with the main inspiration gen pictures on top The movement that will go inside, this will make it a reliable daily better and a very unique watch. I look at it as what Panerai would do if they wanted to restore an old timer with a new engine. Someone coined it akin to putting a new super hemi engine on an old school Charger... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
