Beautiful, simply beautiful...every now and than I feel like I need a fix like this to remind why I'm still obsessed with these simple and understated Italian diver watches...

...I'm gonna have a coffee now... :p

Thanks guys for your kind words.
It looks finished but needs some crownguard engraving.
More pics (molnija movement) to come when a friend give me back my 47mm caseback key.
I would like to have springbars like gen 6152 instead of the one i actually have (with easy to loose tiny screws).
Anybody knows where i can buy them?

This is excellent - a veritable flood of 6152s! Really like the strap too - what is it?

Ahhh, the springbar issue - don't know, but enzo is looking around for a current source I believe.

The strap is custom made from an old italian leather jacket that a member from RWG sold me some months ago.

With a little work(fingernail varnish remover, black and brown shoe wax) you can obtain this kind of "patina" (i don't know if it's the exact word in english..).

bang on right, Phillipe, "patina" is indeed the correct word - et en Français?
