i think im sold. Maybe its your photo taking skills or just your excitement. i'm channeling that same feeling. lol. Was planning on getting the 088 first, but after reading this, it bumped in front of the 088. only because the 088 has the ugly blue AR.

im next in line if you decide to let it go.

was the second hand redone as well? looks lighter.

so the gens do have blue AR?

you shouldve told him to send the watch to you so you could mod it to make it look for gen.

great review. looks like it would pass to the general public. but to us who are detailed, this really helps those who are looking for that extra stretch in getting it closer to gen.

wow. i never noticed the difference in color. thanks for sharing. if i ever decide to get the 212 i will surely use this tip.

is this only for 212 models?

no doubt, that portuguese regulatuer? is a fine piece. if you decide to let it go. well you, know. haha.

great collection. also great photo skills!

rather snug than loose! great selection nonetheless.

i havent had the opportunity to send any of my watches to vac, but by all of the posts i've read. trust me, ive read plenty. i will be sending my watches to him for modding.

since the the AR is removed. how is the glare on it? or did he re apply colorless AR? Im thinking of doing the same mods (relume, AR removal and DW) once I get the 088. lovely watch. its always been my all time fav from Panerai.

stunner! aside from the hands being vaclumed, are those stock from factory? they seem to be flush.

Congrats! Thinking of selling my AS for this SA!

The very first time I've seen a SA was a white dial with blue croc deployant. Truly stunning combo!

Flawless!!

Great color combo! Congrats!

I'm falling in love with this one even more! The only setback on it is the casaback. How much did the AR cost you and how much extra would it be to get the cyclops done? You can PM if u choose.

holy crap man. i knew it was a bad idea to check this thread out. now considering of adding an AP Diver to my collection and having it AR'd and Lumed.

how much is for the service? turnaround period? i have a 359M and i'm thinking the factory AR isnt bothering me that much. but if its a big improvement as to looking a little more gen, then i'm all for it.

that hallway shot is money!!!

I think it was mentioned somewhere in the AP forum that APband makes the best aftermarket. then HKTan. I've seen decent Donerix ones (avg $169?). assuming you're not willing to fork out the dough for OEM. Goodluck. Planning on picking up a Safari?

Hmmm

Seems this thread has moved from dinner party to tea party....

lets get back to our game.

of how those powerful CEOs, how many wore reps? haha

glad i decided to browse through. this is very informative. now, if someone can do this with a Safari, it'd be even more happy. otherwise, i will succumb to picking up a black themes. lol
