Vintage Panerai 6154
La crème de la crème




I built my fair share of cream dialed 6154 in the last few years, but I can't get tired of it.







For this latest built I chose Athaya's new case set. You can read an in depth analisys of this case set HERE.
In short it's an excellent base imho and requires just some mild-reshaping to get to a good shape.





The dial is, as usual, from Bigwaved. It features a fantastic light cream color and greish cracked indices and numbers.



Hands are from Athaya, lightly aged and relumed by me.



The whole thing is powered by a beautiful Molnija 3602 with Cote de Geneve decorations which was serviced by Belkin12 from HF. I don't know how he does his magic, but his movements always look perfect and run flawless :)



Finally, the strap is from L'Invitta Legione, a recent favourite of mine. Its look doesn't need any comment imho.
It's so full of detailing that it even features a dedication in italian language saying "The Xma Flottiglia MAS - The assaulters in memory of the submariners - '40-'45"
How nice :)



This one is really thick though, the three-layered side was a little stiff initially. Wearing it a few times was enough to break it in.

Hope you enjoyed the reading and pics, see you soon with new projects!

Already could kick myself into the bud selling it. Well, have fun Peter, surely one has to put his own stamp on a new one, nevertheless I think my strap was the better combination. Take care and keep it safe.
