Ya that's right. I knew I had seen it before. Rep Minerva.

This looks really cool. NEW style movement as well...

Everyone is showing their new 372's off and I just wanted to be a part of the crowd. Here is my 372 I ordered from Andrew .
Now that the shock has worn off, I should start by saying that there was nothing wrong with the watch. I took it completely apart because I wanted to fix a few things with the cg and also wanted to check out the movement. My concern was that they disabled the running seconds like they did on my 390 (snipping the off long pivot).
I found a few interesting things that I thought others would also find interesting. The first was the thickness of the dial. The dial is extremely thick, which allowed the fourth wheel pivot to be left long. There is a small cutout on the back of the dial for the long pivot.
Because the dial is so thick, they had to add a cap onto the canon pinion. It is a very interesting solution.
Because there is a cap on the canon pinion, the hour hand had to have a long tube. Haven't really seen one quite this long before. This allows the hour hand to fit over the cap and grab onto the canon pinion.
The last thing I noticed on my watch was that there was a ton of adhesive on the faux plates. It looks like they used double sided tape or dial strips to hold them on. There was no way my plates were coming off without a lot of help.
Now it's time to get her back together. Thanks for reading!!!!
The plates had to come off in order to get to the movement tabs, is that correct?

here's another shot...

That looks great, love the remark about the INFAMOUS. Pam 318. It true you are running a gen engine. Hahaha. Nice pictures look forward to seeing your next build
-
Welcome man! Just spend time reading and getting to know the playas!

That's a really nice job! I have been looming back plates for a while now, and haven't tackled the indices and numbers from the front. I have a 24d I want to re-lume. I'm not sure I have steady enough hands
-
Will do when it arrives in a couple days.
Yeah, I tend to find the stock rep straps to be a bit below par. They can look good but they just don't feel right and I always end up changing them.
Would be good to see pictures of it on your new strap.
-
Thanks,
Waiting on my new strap though, the stock one is not so good.
Agreed, it's a gorgeous watch.
Wear it well mate.

My Rolerai build finished (loadsa pix)
in The Panerai Area

Very cool, looks great. That movement is very unique. When you say reshape, are you actually filing down metal, or just the crown modifications?
