Here is another Big Crown we don't see often. A 1950 6152-1 Radiomir with a tropical dial and a Rolex workhorse engine!! Enjoy and HAGD!!

TSW · 12 July 2011, 08:15 PM

Beautiful!

johnbeth · 12 July 2011, 08:18 PM

Just gorgeous!

Andad · 12 July 2011, 08:50 PM

Oh my.

Very, very, nice Kenneth.

Frogman4me · 12 July 2011, 09:35 PM

Worthy of the term "ultra rare!" Thanks for sharing an unbelievable watch with us Ken. Cheers.

dddrees · 12 July 2011, 09:38 PM

Very nice Ken.

Yazo · 12 July 2011, 09:43 PM

Gorgeous!!

HL65 · 12 July 2011, 09:53 PM

She is indeed- I only wish she were mine!

She belongs to a friend who is a big Panerai collector. Just wanted to share her with my friends here as you just don't get to see many of these. Have a great day all!!

Michael M. · 12 July 2011, 11:33 PM

Very nice!!!

Jagatai · 12 July 2011, 11:45 PM

Thanks for sharing that beauty with us Ken!
That's patina!

Beaumont Miller II · 12 July 2011, 11:46 PM

That watch is unbelievable. Thanks for sharing.

TheDude · 12 July 2011, 11:54 PM

Love it!

I am on the list for the 372 (similar to the vintage 6152) which is due out in a couple months. Plexi crystal, engraved dial, classic hands, crema lume, etc...

Sexy plexi...

WHY OH WHY DOESN'T ROLEX MAKE THROWBACK PIECES LIKE THIS?!?!?!?!?!?

onkyo · 12 July 2011, 11:54 PM

Very nice Ken.... it would go great in your collection.

cruvon · 13 July 2011, 12:04 AM

Awesome watch Ken..for a moment I thought you had switched sides till I read it was your friends.

arttay10 · 13 July 2011, 12:09 AM

PhilM · 13 July 2011, 01:01 AM

Just a quick 5 min fix due to work pressure.... but I am glad I clicked on this thread, although seeing Ken was the original OP I thought it might be worth it - and I was right

Don't see many about as that is one rare beast

Thanks for sharing it Ken!

Damn that is one AMAZING watch!! STUNNING doesn't even describe that piece well enough!!

my friend!!

fusionstorm · 13 July 2011, 12:57 PM

Have always loved vintage Panerai with Rolex movements. Is it true that Rolex turned down an opportunity to acquire Panerai many years ago?

If it is then it's such a shame! But I think they're doing quite well themselves even without Rolex! They have established themselves for sure and have such a loyal following!!

psv · 13 July 2011, 11:08 PM

Me want one!!!

HL65 · 14 July 2011, 08:59 AM

She looks especially nice on the wrist! A chocolate wrist monster!
