Southy fits also.

It is looking great! I wish mine was this far along. What case back option did you go with? Did you start with an engraved crownguard?

Great place to start a grail 1675! What a great find.

Congratulations! Welcome to the addiction. Great first choice its hard to beat a Noob 111 for accuracy.

I like it!

How did you accomplish this finish?

Should be this one... $149 http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAM-127-SAPPHIRE-WATCH-CRYSTAL-FOR-PANERAI-1950-47MM-FIDDY-/160658371241?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2567fc32a9

Nanuq those are some gems you've posted up there!

This is one I built for my wife's birthday and thought I would share the details with you guys. It pushes the limit on the $500 category. It started out with a Yuki dial and hands 5513 case from Helenaroo Swiss ETA 2893 Athaya tube and crown Tudor folded link bracelet Slightly aged blue insert from the bay For variety, extra straps including a Hirsch leather double rib, a blue leather NATO, and a blue nylon NATO. Lastly, custom packaging. Here's the unboxing.. Outer box Inner box custom built from a wine crate. Custom Cigar box presentation/display box Inside carries all the right pieces And a few extra shots.

Great news Rolli, I would love to replace the dial in this build with your 082!

I agree also! Rolli give us the full pitch and some photos of that completed blue color changing dial. Bring on the 082!

Photos not working

I agree Rolli, the printer did SD no favors on his project. FGD and Southy had provided a great effort with their dials and the pad printing was far superior to these. SD's was on track to be of really good quality as well, too bad. Your new dial has incredible detail in the reproduction. Looking forward to the final product with lume installed.

Back to the original thread for a moment. I received this 202a dial in the post this weekend from SD. These are very nicely printed and striking to look at in a DLC'd case. Thank you Stephen, this is a fun dial to wear! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I almost hate to fill them, I like the look of resin DSN did. It also has pretty decent lume.

Can you post a pic of the back?

Sure would look good in this Avitt case! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

He is still around, I bought a Sharkie from him last week... GLWS really rare bird here!

183 should be an OP XI 6497-2 running 21,600 and yes incablock Not sure of models that used the 6497-1 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Grim, I don't normally say this to a guy but...Nice pair! I thought that 002 dial was in a drawer until I got a chance to come pick it up.

This is my 187 with Asian 7750.

Panerai 187 uses a 7750 automatic chrono movement. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Rolli it looks like no one wants to weigh in. I will since it's been all day with no takers... I think the one on the left is the gen due to the damage along the bottom left and top right sides of the dial where it would be in contact with the case. It also has some aging where the base of the dial is bleeding through in different places all over. It would be very obvious under the crystal. This could also be why a gen dial would be pulled and replaced. It may be the only affordable way Rolli was able to source one for comparison. The one on the right has no surface imperfections and looks like a new gen spec Rolli dial. I am no expert but that's my bet.

Ok Rolli, I will play. First, incredible likeness I'm still not sure which is truly which. But im basing my guess on something I see. I will not say what that is until others have had the chance to weigh in also. I think the gen is the dial on the left.

Great to hear this Rolli! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
