Cucumber_Jones Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 When I got home today and checked my mail - there is was! The holy grail! I am talking about the 6152/1 Destro Militare Marina. I had a dream. A friend shared my dream and with a little help from my modifying friend and Pure Time my dream was realized. My friend did some beautiful work - note the aged dial and hands as well as the movement screws have been de-blued! Next I need to beat the case up a little! Here is a gen for reference.
Dani Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 That was A BEAUTY BEYOND BEAUTY OF A WATCH I need also. Congarts
leitztozeiss Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 OMG, that is gorgeous. Please share pics after you've beat the crap out of it given it the weathered, vintage look.

Cucumber_Jones Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Posted May 19, 2006 That is a rep strap that has seen a botle of bleach and a little sand paper.

Watchmeister Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 Fabulous watch. Love the vintagizing. Is de-bluing a word?
Guest Sql_pl Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 Wow, this one is really close! Wear it well! Cheers!
dadog13 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 beautiful watch CJ...and BTW..you did a great strap..as usual! wear it well!
tescardo Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 Very nice, Is it a RXW or Fiddy case ? Can`t see it from that angel. BTW your not the only one . Look here http://www.network54.com/Forum/386753/thre...+Homage+Project Regards
Cucumber_Jones Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) Tescardo - It is neither a rxw or a fiddy. It is a vintage rep 47mm case. It is diferent from the fiddy and the rxw. I know this beause I have al three. Perhaps I will try to find time to post a photo for refrenece. I have seen guilles project and it is great. I would say my case is better then his and his movt is better then mine. Glad you all like it! Edited May 19, 2006 by Cucumber_Jones
