As ceejay has stated all these mods are just cosmetic, but the end result can be very nice. Here is mine with these mods done by Dochere2 (can be found on RWI)

Already a full week on my wrist.

I would stick with the PAM 111 v3 for a first Panerai rep, it is one on the best out of the box Panerai reps you can find. Recently I have bought my second PAM 111 v3 which was modded, and is a bit closer to gen. I am really happy with it because it is an amazing watch, but my straps gets the most compliments. Dochere2 did the following mods: Genuine Y Incabloc installed Cannon Pinion has been flattened and polished Gold plated Hour Wheel Tinted Jewels to match gen Incabloc Cap Jewel Re-brushed Ratchet & Crown Wheels Polished bevel on the Ratchet & Crown Wheels Brushed Pallet Bridge Micrometric Screw mod Reshaped Swan Neck Movement has been fully cleaned, oiled, seals lubed and regulated Other Mods: The Crown has been polished quite a bit and looks great, much more gen like (now a 2 step process, awesome results) The Watch Case has been 3 stage buffed and looks better than factory new The Crown Guard has been worked a bit, it snaps extremely tight, edges lightly chamfered, CG Pin flattened and edge ever so slightly beveled, polished & slightly recessed, roller polished Watch was pressure tested to 5 Bar And finally, a gen for comparison.

Found this Unitas 6498 on fleabay for $90 which looks like a good deal to me.

Thx AJ, this strap is just amazing. Already got a few compliments about it. A close up of the details of the strap. I really like the SAS logo.

Wanted something big for my wrist today.

Is it possible to take some photo's of the case? The grainy look could be from corrosion.

Picking one is getting harder with the two additions of this week.

Triple 1 for today.

Today retrieved another awesome PAM from my mailbox. A very nice PAM 111 v3 modded by Dochere2, and I have added my Diabolic SAS Commander strap on it.

This came in today. All I need now is to find an amazing strap to make it more beautiful.

Thx, the strap has landed, and it looks (and wears) amazing.

Probably not the best around, but still pretty good for me. HH5514 case set Gen 1530 movement Gen tritium hands Gen feet first dial Gen MKIII insert Gen service plexi Gen 702 crown

My 127 for today.

Going gen for today, still going strong for 23 years.

My PAM 127

Today's choice, my Noob 127

Again my 5514

I will start with my 5514.

Don't wait for the perfect moment, take the moment, and make it perfect.
