Vintage 6154 "the claw" - PICS HEAVY

Vintage Panerai 6154

The Claw

 

 

Yes, I built another 6154. I don't know how many of these watches I built but no matter what each time I found it a pleasure for the eye and the soul. 

 

 

It started as a fairly simple 6154 but I often mention each build has its own life, and this one was not different. I think of it as "the claw".

 

 

I did not mean to crack the crystal, it was totally random.
For some reason I thought placing the built case including plexi in the ultrasonic cleaner with some alcohol I use for cleaning purposes was a good idea. Turned out it was, but for a different reason than I thought

 

 

Luckily, for the rest it all went smooth more or less. Bigwaved provided a nice dial, Athaya nice hands, Dellone a good Molnija with Rolex bridges, Orloff a great strap and voilà: another nice HF build!

That's all for now, see you soon with more stuff. 

Hope you enjoyed the reading and pics

Kilo!!! You’re a junkie! A totally addicted, but Master Jedi vintage builder. Love it, mate. When can I borrow it?? Hahahaha. Hey, so how come you did not use the DSN vintage movement in this one? Just curious. Happy Easter!

This is truly a masterpiece. Your little "mistake" turn out well. Looks like a 60 year old watch
