Hello, let me say that I'm happy to have found this place...

[JBC77]

I hope it's ok if I introduce myself here as I want to mention a bit of history.

I caught the Panerai bug way back in 2005-2006 when I purchased a gen 112G and discovered Paneristi dot com. I was a frequent poster for years using the handle OldSkool112. Back in the day, I became friends with Kevin Rogers (aka Adeeos, RIP) and actually talked Kev into making me some custom long straps as he and I shared the same passion, straps with looong tails. Shortly after, Kev paired with Bruce (BigB) and started selling these glorious ammo straps. I later bought a 6152-1 rep from Kev and had him fit it to my late grandfathers Hamilton 921 movement to create a homage honoring my Grandfather and it always makes me smile as it's a piece of him that I wear on special occasions. Unfortunately, Kev's passing interrupted the final revisions on the watch and I actually just discovered this forum while searching for a trusted watchmaker that could hopefully retrofit a better dial, hands, crystal, and crown guard than I currently have now. As a new poster, I don't believe that I can post a pic yet, but hopefully soon I can show you what I have.

Thanks for reading and apologies if this request is not in the correct forum.

Cheers.

Once again: welcome

Being a moderator, I should know this for sure but I am just going to say that I am pretty sure that you can post pics. The posts just need to be approved by a mod for a while.

Welcome!

As a strap nerd, I'm excited to see pictures of the straps you were fortunate to get from Kevin back in the day, along with your 6152/1. I have a few Adeeos straps and they are truly special.

All you need to do to post pics here easily is use a hosting site - then just paste the links to each picture in the body of your post.

Looking forward to seeing what you have!

Sorry guys. Not the best pics, but just testing the water here. Haven't had a hosting site since Photobucket, lol. Better pics to come later.





Cheers!

I will take some better pics tomorrow so that you guys can help suggest some improvements as this watch deserves some better parts.

Cheers!
