@dluddy, stop drooling @maccaz, it's custom made. Read post #1, then you'll know who made it. Not sure he's still doing it though.

I am not sure how different, but the movement is thinner, that's why the case need to be machined to accept the gen or else the crown position won't lined up. Thanks everyone for compliment, the watch really is stunning to look at

Thanks everyone.

Here you go. And the wrist shots..

Concepta, I wish you can get just the caseset alone instead of completed watch

Nice 3714-01 you have there. Congrats Texski is great. Here is mine SS 3714-82 commissioned by the same gentleman.

The dial looks unbalance with the text on the top, nothing at the bottom. The pig caseback is cool though.

Beautiful. Easily one of the best built in the Panerai world.

Thanks all. It's the most exciting project so far for me .

Just wanted to share the excitement from this project, a very special one.... At this point, the case is being machined to accept the rare, discontinued Cal. 79240. Crystal being sent to PBdad for his double AR treatment. The blank OEM caseback is getting the custom engraving and install a sapphire crystal so it can show off the movement. I also wanted to give big thumps up for Texski for agreed to assist me with this project, and personally deliver the parts to me in person. A gentleman from my experience dealing with him. Enjoy the pictures. I love the 3714-82 dial, different angle produces different result, flat to glossy, dark to grey, to brown.

No worry. The 3714-82 is the bomb. Can't wait to see it.

The last 4 watches I've purchase are from Tony (asian7750). All went well. It usually takes about 2-3 days after payment to receive QC pictures. But his price is 99% of the time cheaper than most other dealers.

Thanks man but as of now I don't know anyone that can do the mod to fit the gen tachy into the rep bezel. I think I like a little contrast of the black tachy ring to the dial though.

Thank you gentlemen. @Watchmeister, subtle and elegant is so true. I listed it for sale due to that same reasons but due to no one wanted it. Now I am glad I still have it. @Lobster, it's a rep movement, fully serviced and treated with nano-tech stuff from Rolexman. So far running beautifully. It ticks with slight tap on the watch and great great power reserve.

Thank you Ain't she a beauty?

Get well soon Pete.

The dial can be very glossy at certain angle. Even with the famed Chief double AR, you can clearly see the reflection on the dial. What do you think?

aaaaaaaaaaa. Missed out on the sale again. Ouch. The weird thing is I emailed the guy 2 weeks ago, asking to buy 1 if he still have some since the link on ebay sold out. He said he has one, asked me how much I would pay for. I said 200 euros (which still a bargain). He replied with one simple word: NO

I doubt that the lady in the picture is his gf. Given the way he have been scammed, lied to people. I would not for one second believe that he is telling the truth? Hell, the picture of "himself" may not be him at all...

[censored] off but would not anywhere near file chargeback without communicate with the seller. How do you feel if you were the seller? This wasn't the seller fault..... To me, if you cannot afford to lose a couple hundreds dollars without being so unreasonable, and patient, this hobby isnt right for you.

Your watch got stolen during transit. And without any communication with seller, you want to file chargeback? This isn't the right hobby for you....

Looking good and you are lucky that there were no custom issues Getting 5 watches in the same package is like asking for trouble.

Thought I was on dial-up service when I clicked on this thread...

The CP mod is amazing. Not that I don't like the watch but I love that CP mod more

The current 111J is better and cheaper, imo.
