    Rubber Clad VIDOR Flashlight completes Collection

    Please excuse the worn out Straps..the Strap of the depth meter was marked with an "X" by the Previous Owners son 30 Years ago !!!

    Crack in Both the Plastic Crystals of depth Meter and Compass..Liquid of the Compass is Evaporated/ Gone...

    The Marina Militare is a Reference 6152 and signed Rolex on mvt and case back.....Just completed Service..

    Take care and Enjoy the day

    Most excellent pic. I love the wabi on the straps - I am really fond of distressed leather.

    Beautiful MM too - obviously :)

    Surely Dale you meant to say "WTB: Dreadnought".... right?

    Dreads are perfect daily wear watches but,

    The 6152 Rolex MM might be a little harder to find..

    Don't know if the values as high as that, but certainly it's a little more than the Dreads I've had..

    I've currently got my sights on a 6154 Radiomir Panerai w/ same type Rolex 17 Jewel manual mvt..This one with Wire lugs and w/o the lever lock crown...
    it's been my grail for the last few Years..

    Oh. Just sold my 12th Dreadnought....But thanks for remembering..

    Take care...Have a Great day..

    I think you are missing about 200 DNs to make your collection "complete". :P :wink:

    That's even better than having a replica or fake. You just have to post the pictures. :)

    Best wishes,

    Absolutely ! !

    i am surprised it tookthis long..

    That pic was also used in numerous Panerai advertisments....

    Also in the Japan Mag..."TIME SPEC"

    Worloc came close as he looked into the price another site had the PIC....

    Just remember.. I never said it was mine..

    You Guys connected that..I just said the Flashlight completed the Collection..Never MINE..

    Congrats on the work....

    and Yes it does make for a beautiful Set...

    Sold at Sothebys back in the Mid 90's..

    You guys take care..

    Have a Great day..I will..
