its getting time that finally some stupid factory puts out a half-decent manual-wind Panerai Rep !
as of this example - to be somehow close to gen you would have to exchange the crown, CG, hands and still have a shitty dial qith wrong fonts
sorry DSN - its time for some upgrades !
cheers,

the WM9V1
i think the only WM9-Sub that's still available ?
im still working on mine - but was too busy with my GMT - project
so far it has a new crystal+gasket, gen insert, BK-DW and the rehaut-engravings are gone for good ...
now it needs a gen crown, cg shave and relume .. puhh
you could get that all very easy with the V2 version
cheers,

spent some month this year in India - beautiful country and people
i think i concur with everybody that went there - you always have to come back ...
some random pics out of 1000s i shot there :
cheers,

if its a painted dial ask him if his new machine is already there - he just bought an very expensive toy just
for reluming
but : its very important to tell what exactly lume you need - c1 / c3 mix ... plus matt finish an so on ....
cheers,
Frank
thanks !
the specs :
case and bracelet : Josh

dial : cheapo from ebay - gen 16750 dial
hands : member - sadly GMT-hand does not fit right ... must find a new one
