Cucumber_Jones Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share 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.

tescardo Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cucumber_Jones Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
