EAGLEMOSS Mens Wrist Watches Quartz Water Resistant Tank Army Military Watch Boy (1980's Russian Tank)

Product Information

This watch is is a representation of a 1940 Panerai 6152, Marina Militare: It was produced for the Italian Navy, and would have had a Rolex 618 movement. Not many survive, actual numbers aren’t known for sure but its probably less than 100. If you see an ‘original' for sale anywhere but a very expensive auction house you can be certain its a fake. plated polished finish. 50.7mm including crown, 51.6mm lug to lug, 11mm deep. 41.6mm interior aperture.

I dunno what the thing is with the long stem, I suspect the original it alludes to maybe had a flexible stem, it attracted quite a lot of attention with my friends I saw out and about today and was the first time I hadn't worn my Amphibia since I got it lol According to the magazine this watch is based on Vietnam Era US military spec watches produced by various companies such as Timex and Bradley. Rolex Submariners are possibly the most copied and certainly one of the most faked watches in the world, dozens of companies make similar watches, at a whole range of prices and quality of finish, in both quartz and mechanical versions. I broke the glass while tinkering with my first SBS, and decided to use a domed acrylic to replace the glass, I also had a 20mm stainless steel bracelet and this is the result.Numerous companies still manufacture watches with similar specification with both quartz and mechanical movements.

On a smaller secondary scale printed in white, Hours indicated with roman numerals with triangles at 12-3-6-9. Large straight hours and minutes hands with pointed tips, thin straight seconds hand. Green lume on hours and minutes hands. If you like the idea of modifying watches, using the Eaglemoss collection can be a cheap way of taking your first steps into the practice, most of the movements are identical so hands can be swapped around though I warn you this is not simple and requires some basic watchmakers tools and a very steady hand.

If so what do you like about their watches? Please Note, For authenticity I removed the centre second hand from this watch, Real 1940s MMs didn’t have one. The Case colour is wrong for this model, or the dial is wrong for this style case, either way they don’t belong on the same watch. The printing on the dial is the wrong size, and a little fuzzy and faded close up. The seconds hand is too big for its scale, and the hands are the wrong colour, they should match the case. The quality of finish just too poor to be real. worse than the above homage in many respects, but they are after one thing, profit.
