projectologist Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 This is the vintage from VDB that has changed the way I'm going to collect and build watches. He has created a piece that wreaks authentic down to the smallest detail... a true hommage both in spirit and accuracy. I tried to capture the wonderful contrast between the different metals in the movement (I know that's getting pretty geeky, but to me the Angelus is a thing of beauty). The strap compares very well to several pictured in "Vintage Panerai" and the dial/hands are even more amazing in person. V has taken his craft to an even higher level for 2009... and as evidenced by his latest Cali creation, we are in for some very special treats! Hope you like the pics!

I believe the cost of a working Angelus movement has been discussed in several threads. The 203 came with the non-alarm version which is quite expensive and even harder to find. I'm not really sure how much a movement by itself would cost as I purchased this as a complete watch and the movement in mine is the modified alarm version. Keep us posted on your 203 project!

The strap came with the watch, but I haven't asked VDB if he or someone else made it. It's the thickest strap I have now and also one of the most comfortable.

projectologist Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Pleasant surprise... after wearing the 6152 for a couple of days, I noticed that it keeps very accurate time. Typically I really don't care how accurate a vintage piece is re. keeping time. For me a watch like this is not a daily wearer at work or for being on time for appointments. But it is nice to know that the movement has been treated very well. Thank you VDB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
