well dangerman, i too have a small wrist about 6,7" anf i have a 44mm a 45mm and a 47mm
and i dont think that they are to big for me - ok well the 47mm looks big, my colleags calles me "bigBen" as in London when i wear my 47mm.
but i dont care, as long as im satisfied i dont give a rats ass what others think...
it is your desicion at the end.....
44mm
45mm
47mm
as long as you are building it on a shortend Vw bettle chassie, there is no problems here in denmark.
i have ordret a speedster glassfiber kit from chesil in the UK including leather seats trimming and all....
so i know what to do here in this winter.....
well i had to get the recressed pinion fixed on the 183 that i won i the PT raffel a while back
sorry i have no lumeshots yet - but hope to get that soon.
so i got the 183
got the package from Davidsen with a new Dial (C3 superlumed) and a new set of hands (C3 superlumed)
here is a side by side dialshot - just to bad that the new dial is a newer version dial - i dont think there is a 183 with H dial and G decorated movement - but WTH it dont bother me
the movement is also nicely "decorated" underneath the dial
it got the scews to hold the dial into place.
The dial is in place - fits like a glove
Hands on, clean clean clean, movement in case and tighten the caseback back on....no more recressed pinion
So once again Davidsen deliveres again, the dial is a perfect fit no grinding needed top quality
the hands is also a perfect fit, only the second hand was a bit of a fiddle to get on - ten thumbs haha
dealing with davidsen again ? - you bet....
congrats swdivad
it is (to me) the most beautiful PVD PAM out there....
i have almost the same color strap on mine, just with a very dark brown stitch - super combi....
had the same issue trying to attach the stap on mine, it is almost like the lugs are too short - but with some fiddling it went into place....
i really love mine, newer gets tried of it - cry when a small scrats appears on the case......
wear it in good health swdivad - you will never regret it.
i got many good feedbacks on this watch everybody love the looks of it.
yes you are quit right finepics, the fork bridge plate is "half" compared to the pictures that you attached - strange - also the barrelgears have the correct bevel and smooth finish.
the ingravings has also been ingraved in the movement and not glued on.
So do you mean that the movement in my 183 has the xl cannon pinion so all i need is to shave down the minuthand to make it fit ? - it could explain the angle that the minuthand was mounted in.
Hi all
I got a package from PT today that contained a brand new Panerai 183 Black Seal
It is really more beautiful in real life.
The movement is a Swiss ETA 6497, and as far as i can see, it looks like the new version with the correct shape regulator, working swanneck - but correct me if i am wrong.
but let the pictures speak for them self - not Puggy quality - sorry
Thanks PT - this is a GREAT prize to win
finally after almost 4 weeks of waiting i got my MF Vacchetta for my Panerai 26 PVD destro
and it look awsome i must say, fits the PVD perfect - mmmmmmmmm
