earlgrey-erfurt Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 Dear Vintage Lovers, Yesterday VDB brings my baby back to me. I AM SOOO HAPPY!!! First here are some Gen Pics of the Inspiration: First Version: 47mm 3646 Repcase Strongly shaped 1:1 Molnija Movement `54 aged Hands Marina Militare Dial with red Numerals according to aged Radiomir Big Caseback 1:1 Gen Reason for doing a second Version: The Molnija cracked, a second one didn t work properly, to make one of two failed... so Cortebert 616 has to come in this case and not in the following 6152 Project. While working to put the Cortebert in a slim line of glue touched the open dial and ruined it. ARRRRGH!!!!! But this Experiance is a way of learning... Stephan tried to repair it and so the second rough look comes to my MM i call it Second Version: Differences: Cortebert 616 with Rolex Bridges and handworked spacingring Rough Marina Militare Dial with math finnish But for my Taste it was a little too rough, still a gen can look the same, awesome but not for me So i roll my eyes and ask Stephan to try another Version AND HERE IT IS THE ULTIMATE VERSION And some Wristis Version 1: Version 2: Version 3 ULTIMATE: THATS IT!!! Thanks for looking cheers Helmut
