Hi there RWI watch lovers. I bought this vintage panerai (6152-1) about 3 years ago from a friend. I also bought the strap from him. Can anyone here help me identify who made this? I bought it locally from a friend of mine. I do not have the tools to open the caseback. Nor do i know what tools to use too, was thinking of getting a rubber ball to open it. Here are some pics taken from my iphone. I wish the members here can identify it. Enjoy! And many thanks in advance!

LOL sorry, my upload speed is very bad! I see the case has been lightly aged. And also the dial. Are the pics showing up yet? Mind the amateur photography skills too. Lol.

Looks like an aged Jackson case. The dial is nice, maybe even from Southy. CG, CB, crown, strap, hands etc., maybe kilo can tell us more. Nice watch.

Nice build.
I could be wrong but I'd say Athaya case, southy dial, Athaya CG, NW CB, tourby hands, NW crown and tube.
Anyway it has all the bells and whistles :)

Wow.. Is it supposed to be good? At first when i saw my friend wear it, i only know its a vintage panerai. Didnt know that the mods are quite complicated until now. Paid him a quite expensive too. Ive been wanted to sell it but have not a single clue what are the mods to it. Can you help me quote what price i should be looking at? @kilowattore

Interesting caseback, I don't think NW ever sold them with those inner engravings. Maybe that's an Athaya CB.
Movement is an asian 6497.

In any case I'd say the full build is worth around 5-600 though ultimately market will decide.

Thanks @boxterduke. Yes that is true, but for me i would say its a custom made panerai because you cant get an original 6152-1. Because its an iconic watch. @inda_bebe
