I sette dell'orsa maggiore
original ad for USA release "Hell Raiders of the Deep"
THE FANTASTIC BUT TRUE STORY OF THE FROGMEN
Review Summary by The New York Timey Financial Times.
The title refers to a group of Italian navy frogmen, who train arduously for a raid on the allied stronghold of Gilbraltar. Their "inside man" on the island is actually a woman, nightclub singer Eleanora Rossi Drago. When last seen, the deep-sea-diving heroes are engaged in an assault on the British fleet at Alexandria. I Sette Dell'Orsa Maggiore would make a fascinating companion feature to the American wartime actioner The Frogmen . The music is by Nino Rota, , whose later filmwork included the two Godfather films. ~ Hal Erickson.
A small journey in the Past
A day like I love them... A Telephone Call, from a Guy asking me to come and see what he just got. You don't really know what you will see, but, referring to the tone of his voice, you guess that it may be something really exciting, As we recently spoke a...
Not your everyday phone-call ....
... that is a great collection of old stuff ... LOL. The depth meter is really awesome ...that's what i call "patina" ... !!! Lucky the lot was already sold (you still have to buy me coffee when i come over ). Cheers and thanks for this really very cool p...
I have a special cel phone for this kind of call, Filip
Always a pleasure to see such rara and beautiful bords, indeed. Thanks, my friend. And of course, the coffee will be on me! Nicolas
Do we know how people were using the Trittico?
Since they all have particular functions, did they wear the three at the same time? sorry it is maybe a stupid question but I am curious.
no stupid questions mate, here is an older post
that will shed some light on the subject: panerai.watchprosite.com Cheers, Asi

Thanks guys, know I understand.
Such an interesting story, incredible devices used cooperatively, very cool stuff. brings more meaning to have them together.
Awesome journey there mon ami!
Very lucky of you to always be seeing stuff like these in France/Europe. We almost NEVER get these kinda stuff here in Japan. Thanks for sharing! A bientot Stephen
Well, Stephen
Yes, we are lucky, but in fact, I am lucky to know the good persons... So I could see several of theses treasures in the flesh. Best, Nicolas
You know, Nacelle, this kind of journey brings you mixed and intense feelings.
Pleasure, of course, surprise, too, and an immense decetion, or better, frustration to not be able to come back with these pieces... No, seriously, some pieces are made to only dream about... And that's GREAT! Best, Nicolas
A nice trittico, hope it goes to a good home ;-)
Nico, any pics of the movement in that 6152-1? I love that greenish strap, so typical of the vintage leather. Thanks for posting Asi
Sadly not, Asi
I was too in hurry, with too many things to do at the same time, so I didn't have the time to open it, and to take pics of the movement... Best, Nicolas
Great stuff Nicolas, thanks for sharing the Trittico.
You must have happy Easter. Best Ralf
nice comment from the King of the Tritticos, Ralf!
Thanks, my friend, but i guess you will present us, in a very nice way, all your treasures and knoweldge very soon ( I hope! ). Let us know! Best, nicolas
Very exciting moment Nico.
I agree that the 6152/1 is the greatest vintage panerai in history. You capture the watch very very well my friend. May I ask....are those the original straps too? And does the 6152/1 comes with the very special GPF-Mod Dep buckle? Cheers
Yes, Krieng,
This is an original strap, which got a nice greenish color. And the buckle, too, is original. Yes, it is one of the greatest Vintage Panerai, with the 6154 and the ...Bloody " 4 lines "... Best, Nicolas
There should be a law against this..
You always show these incredible pieces and frankly.............I LOVE IT................ Txs for sharing amigo..Best guillermo
Past journeys are always nice!.
This Trittico is a really keeper. Certanlly, Panerai is here... nothing can beat it!. A certanlly pleasure for the hearth and for the eyes... no for the wrist! LOLOL. this kind of surprises are really impressives... great friends you have!. Thanks for sha...
Gracias, Emilio
When you see these pieces, you're really in trouble. They're so tasteful that the others loose interest, in comparison... Best, my friend, it was a pleasure to share this moment with you. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-04-13 22:04...
Nicolas
you just have to drive home the points that you made earlier? Thanks for the wonderful pictures!
Hi, Nicolas!
Thanks for the photos! I think the 2nd photo says it all. Visually, for me, it sums up everything I find attractive about Panerai -- a clean, highly legible dial, a case with a substantial, solid presence, and some distinctive but functional flair in the ...
Agree, Daos
The Depthmeter and the Compass are just ...Uwearable, as the Eigiano will be, sadly, as it is a very exciting offer. But the 6152-1... Huuummmm, would like to get one. In fact, I'd be ok to sell all my Panerais just to get one... Best, sister. Nicolas
