I dunno, this one's pretty good:

DSN is trying to get the T-Swiss-T engraved/lume filled dials right as we speak. Without huge success, unfortunately. The T Swiss T sausage dials are much easier to get right, thus, have a much higher chance of actually coming to fruition.

Count me in for a 2A.

Oops, forgot about the dial feet! I didn't know anyone made a correct destro rep CG? I'd be interested in sourcing one of those!

As long as it's a base dial, sure you can just take it apart, flip the parts around, reposition the hands (12 o'clock is now 6 o'clock). If you want running seconds, you'll obviously need to buy a destro dial with the seconds at 3.

Davidsen or Angus would be my first 2 stops...

Really? Did you email him or send him a PM? Did you use his vaclume@gmail.com address?

Vic the RWC 1938 is 45mm, the PAM249 is 47mm. That and the price are the biggest differences.

So is yours! Were you after black California style hands for your watch or "normal" black Panerai style hands?

Great choice, gianton! Here is your watches 47mm big brother, but with a sapphire crystal:

You could always go to a hobby shop and just get some steel or aluminum tubing and cut it into ~24mm sections. I know enzo has done this in the past with success. I feel your pain, 'Dro. The case for my Angus "Ultimate" uses the bigger screws as well. I replaced them with River springbars, but they rattle about in there a bit...

12 o'clock has a dark spot on the 2, as well. Sorry.

Very nice, rolli! Looks really good, my friend! Case and CG from Trusty?

That's one of those UPH or UPI or OPM or something Panerai "homage" watches. I'm sure a google search would turn up the URL for you.

Send it to vaccum. He'll sort you out. Plus based on your location of "dirty south", he's much closer to you than The Zigmeister and you won't have to send the watch through customs.

I would rather be on the 6th hole and have the strap be a little long, personally. I detest straps that are too short. I don't know why. I've got a 7.5" wrist and I typically order 130/85 straps. 125/80 is the smallest I'll go anymore. 115/75 looks silly on my wrist, IMO.

Vic that would be a PAM009B.

I think the ultimate PVD strap is something that is yet to be debuted by Savage. I've gotten a sneak peek, and I know what's going on my PVD project!

Yes it is, but so is the bright white of the "L" rep dials. DSN's is too yellow, the others are too white. Pick your poison, both need a relume to be accurate. Also the crown on Joshua's/Ruby's 036 is too thick and the teeth are too large and there are too few of them. DSN's Ti crown is far more accurate, IMO.

That's the biggest difference I can think of.

Actually the Asian 6497 is more visually accurate than the Swiss version. It just isn't considered as "good" mechanically as the Swiss movement by most.

babola ordered a case from that seller and returned it for a refund. I would stay away. You're in Charlotte, Lyndonville? We need to have a beer sometime and talk about watches!

I don't think it even looks that bad, I just worry about how it will hold up. Looks good, though!

Looks like it could use a little Dr. Jackson's Hide Rejuvenator, though, old skool.
