Officine Panerai

at a small GTG last night here to slip this beauty on my wrist...6152-1

WOW is the only thing that I can say...

its pretty neat to have a piece of history on your wrist...thought you all would enjoy...

sorry for the poor phone photos with flash...the place was just too dark...

HAGWE!

Must be awesome to have it on your wrist!

Thanks for sharing!


HAGWE!

Hope you have many more rare opportunities my friend.

such a unique watch with unique history.

what a piece, thanks for shearing your moment with us

it was amazingly comfortable, good balance and felt right at home on my wrist...the patina, the plexi, WOW

and to think of the history behind it...

the lum was interesting as well..we had a flash light and the lum would stay lit for like a couple of minutes...

for this rare and superlative vintage?

vintage charm is hard to beat...the fiddy can hold its own against modern PAM..but vintage is a whole different ball game...

The owner kept it in that condition? Is it a daily wearer? Thks fr sharing

and its not a daily wearer...and I think the previous owner kept the scratched up plexi as well...

just a matter the piece retaining its history...

Hope to see one Luminor in the wild!

I'm sure the feeling must be magical!?

These are radium watches right? Just wondering the risk of wearing them on the daily basis? I've read articles on radium watches, but I'm not sure a wearer should exercise caution wearing and servicing them? Can any share any thoughts on this?

Mech.

and the discontinue of using radium was mostly due to occupational safety of those applying the paint (lookup 'radium girls' in wiki). For the same reason tritium is now mostly banned as well.

 

That doesn't mean I would strap on an old radium depth gauge for a week ;-)

 

Cheers,

while we're on this topic, what's the readings on the geiger counter of the respective radium and tritium watches which are safe to wear? be it daily or weekly basis?

how often do you wear your radium watches in this respect of safety Asi?

Kindly share?

Cheers

A very beautiful vintage that you won't see every day.

Actually if I can have only one Panerai in my collection (without budget restraint),,,6152/1 will be the ONE

Cheers!

Beauty, strenght, soul, sensuality.

Nothing can beat that, at the exception, for me, of a 6154 or a " 4 lines ".

Trying one is always an intense moment of pleasure.

Seeing this one through your pics was not bad, too!

Best,

Nicolas.

the lighting was better and I had a better camera...
but soon..the GTG was about friends, wine and a mean steak...

gotta love the magic of watches...
