I found these pics of my PAM0036 dials. I dropped in on my watchmaker/friend while he was doing sevice on some of my pieces. He happened to have both 36s apart so I snapped these pics, hope you enjoy. Notice the difference in the font and the finish on the back side.

I actually have one of those!!,,, NOS, never in a watch,, the back is identical to yours,, I've been wondering what in the world it was worth,, Someone had one offered for sale on a Panerai website for $3000,, But no pics of it... You think they'd be worth that much Jay?...

Very nice! Like it a lot

Are you encountering any problems fitting the Panerai hands to the movement?

The hands are the stock Cortebert ones..

After my Rolex pocket watch/Radiomir cased project,, I've been looking for another similar project to do,,, Then this BEAUTIFUL little piece came along,,, It's the first Cortebert movement I've seen finished to as good, if not better than they finished them to Rolex specs,, it's also a 17 jewel version, as opposed to the normal 15 jewel one,,, I had the case, and strap all ready to drop the movement into as soon as I got it,,, Well it came today!,,, It wasn't a simple "drop-in" like the Rolex pocket watch movement and dial was though,, I had to remove about 1/2mm from the diameter of the dial, then fabricate a very thin stainless steel ring to move the movement and dial away from the crystal, to align it with the case tube,, then finally, trim a couple thous from the tip of the minute hand to clear the inside of the spacer ring I made.. but other than that,, it, "dropped" right in.. Lolololol,, I have a slightly domed saphirre crystal that I may install in place of the acrylic, but not sure yet.. The copper/coral colored dial with greenish/gold outter ring is very uniqe,,, And it hasn't lost/gained a second in roughly half a day! I don't see this one coming off me for quite some time!!...

I can't believe the following PM that was sent to me after I advertised 3 watches for sale on RWI. I followed all their rules and still I received this PM:-

"Choice of three dials" "Never worn"

Go the f*ck away if you think we dont know you are dealing..

You keep this up, one more post, you banned.

Why not just pm and ask?

Think we all fools?

Cheers,

Klink

What the F***

Are these guys for real. All because I have 3 DIFFERENT spare dials for a Breitling Navitimer that I bought a while ago from Joshua and I offered this for sale with the choice of which dial the buyer prefered. Then I would have sold off the spare dials at another time, I would have thought that any civilised moderator would have first asked politely why I was offering a choice of dial (although I can't see what's it got to do with them)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So now they have not only nuked a GENUINE for sale item but also they have NUKED a Sea-Dweller and LV I had advertised.

The moderator asked a question in his abusive PM "Think we all fools?"

No not all just you.

Thank the Lord for RWG and TRC.

Klink's a [censored]wit,,, He banned me also,, I got into a "pissing" match with one of their moderators,, who BTW, owns that, "other" Panerai site,, Anyway,, I got into a pissing match with said moderator, on HIS site,, i was HAPPY to leave it there,, HE chose to drag it over to RWI,,, I responded to it,, I was also threatened by Klink to, "watch it, or else"... Needless to say,, I told him to go [censored] himself,,, Hahahaha,,, Since you seem to be monitoring this thread klink... Care to give YOUR side of my story?... Is E Hole still enjoying your, "reach arounds"?...... lolololollol

You mean.... Like this??

Nice work Kevin!

I especially like the work on the numerals...syringe job?

Hahah,,, nope,, carefully split the dial halves,, sanded the base alittle,, held a spray can of the, "correct" color about 2-3 feet above it,, and misted it,,, looked it over,, then misted it again,,, re-attatched the face while the paint was still tacky... VERY complicated procedure,,,, lolollolo

Over the weekend, I got to handle/play with, and really inspect a buddies genuine 6152-1,,, I was completely in love with it,, in particular the simple, patina'd dial,,, I got to thinking about all the, "extra" parts I had at home, and thought I'm going to use them up.. lolol... Mirror polished fiddy case, lop off the sub secs hand... Flip the crownguard over.. I had a WM 12,3,6,9 dial in it with stock Fiddy hands,, Not bad, but the hands were wrong.. I had the "correct" hands from WM also,, but they were WAY white... A quick patina'ing of them,, and I was set.. Looked great,, Then today I got in a Davidsen, "MARINA MILITARE" dial... NICE dial,, but two things bugged me,, 1, lume was too clean, and yellow for me,,, 2, over paint from the MM on the dial,, I cleaned-up the over paint,, and then split the dials,, and with a little, "patina majic" Presto-chango.... hahahah,,, Not bad for a total of a half days work.... I'm going to re-work the dial a little more and get a more accurate look,,, I still need a plastic crystal,, but the non-AR coated saph is just fine for now,, It's a daily beater,, so it'll probably fare better than plastic,,, Anyway Here it is,, Pics are ALSO, quick, down and dirty,, so please no comments about the dust/lint... Hahahahah

Kevin dont change the dial position.. this is what makes it so special

although I don't know how easy is to read the time

P.S. This strap is definately many levels up from the regular Ammo pouch straps you make.. If you have a trained strap-eye you can understand it

Thanks again,, Actualy,, it is VERY easy to read the time,, I set the time using the 9:00 marker as the 12:00.. So at a glace,, you know the time right away,, it's NO problem.. To really screw with people,, I've set the time normally,, so you have to look at the dial at a 90 degee,, Hahahaha,,, that REALLY mess's with people... lololol

Hey guys,, Thanks for the positive comments, Yes,, It is a WM 3646 case kit,, with a complete Rolex pocket watch movement/dial/hands... It was really an accident. The 12,3,6,9 dial/hands do not fit the Rolex movement like I'd like,, So I just put it all together with the original parts until I could locate the correct dial/hands... I am now in not such a hurry to change it,, I LOVE it like it is,, Yes, the strap is one of the WWII Ammo pouch straps,, I make them. This particular one is made from a WWII Italian Carcono rifle sling.. The stains, scars, and, "wabi" are all genuine, vintage stuff, from blood, sweat, tears, mud, who knows,, lolol, I also made it in the vintage style with the flat buckle, and fixed keeper in the same loop.. I had an original 3646/6152 strap to copy the construction... I'm glad you all enjoy it.. Thanks again,, "Adeeos"

elliot is scum. anyone who would associate with him in a business sense is as questionable as "E". he has a pathetic history of crossing the line and doing questitonable things. I was extremely disappointed when he showed up here as a dealer...extremely dissapointed. and I was extremely pleased when he was shown the door...

sooner or later, the scorpion will sting you...it is in his nature. E-hole cannot be trusted. whatcha think E-hole will do the first time he gets in any legal trouble with reps or rep sites or trademark violations or whatever? hmmm...maybe spill every bean in his database?

(too all the E defenders who feel a need to respond because you love your 40% off discounts....shhhh...i dont want to hear it

I'm not the type to say, "I told you so",,, but HELL!!,,, it does feel GREAT doesn't it Watcher?... lolol... WOW!.. 40% off of TURDS!,,, EVERYone buy some.... The saddest thing is,, People still will,,,

JUST when you think a person can't stoop any lower,,,, they AMAZE you with just how talented they are at it!,,,, lolololol

Dear All.

This delay has been most unexpected and upsetting. I have been to my post office here in Bangkok and it seems that the staff have no idea what they are doing nor did they take to time to verify the origin of our package.

I will going to the Bangkok Postal Services Distribution Centre to have the staff there give me an answer to the where abouts of our package.

I will be contacting Veni once I get an answer.

Sincere Regards and I thank you for your kind understanding and patience.

Aaron HKTAN

Yes,, Aaron is an artist,,, but his POOL game sucks,,, Just ask him,,, lolololol..... .... How's it going Bud?

GREAT!.... I'll alert the media,,,

Curious reaction, you're right! And yes, the main point is that this was a low blow.

But don't forget people - TC Dirk's are the ONLY Dirk with a "100% guaranty agianst waterpfoofing"

I don't know why, but waterpfoofing cracks me up!

Have you ever seen one of his waterproof straps?... Of COURSE they're waterproof,,, PLASTIC is naturally waterproof...

I will be a bit more bold:

1. He has not trademarked TC Dirk.

2. Has not applied to trademark TC Dirk.

3. He has not even trademarked TC Straps. (Think about it, why would you trademark TC Dirk, but not stick a little TM next to TC Straps too).

I don't why he says he has, perhaps he plans to - but point is he hasn't.

Some good news for the real Dirk, if he lives in Belgium (is that correct?) he lives in the easiest and cheapest jurisdiction in the world (Benelux) to register a trademark. Then it can be upgraded to provide international protection.

This is nothing a quick 'cease and desist' letter couldn't fix.

I can respond to this,, I was told today by a very good friend,, that Elliott has TOLD him that HE now owns the name TC Dirks, AND either "Dirks.com",,, or/and "DirksStraps.com",,, etc,, So you can lay-off your somewhat defense of this scumbag, that I, and SEVERAL others on this and other boards TOLD you he was a scumbag way back when,,, OK?

Can you identify this person and his importance in/for the watch industry/horology?

g.

He's the Swatch CEO Nickolas Hayek .......... Whadd'a I win?..

Hahahah,,,, Nope,, it's a Rolex pocket watch movement AND original dial,, stuck in a case... Look at it in a pocket watch,, the sub sec would be at 6,, and the crown at 12.... In a Pam 3646,, they just use the "right" dial for it,,, My guess is it's a fake,,

And I can see all these items, where????

Yes,,, I can understand your point,, I know that when I want to make amends,, I secretly block, IP's, etc, etc,,

A certain forum owner, has blocked my IP from veiwing a certain Panerai web site... This after I made a comment defending a poster on another replica site... This same site owner has recently become a member of the replica forums, in an attempt to sell his products, which only months ago,, were deemed, (by him), too good for these same members he now courts,,,, BTW,,, I have a large turd, that I'm willing to offer a coupon for 45-50% of, but ONLY available to replica forum members.... Anyone interested?........ I wouldn't think so,, as 100% off a turd, DOESN'T make it less of a turd,,, A turd's a turd,, no matter HOW much off,,, As a side note,,, It's amazing to me,, that someone can disount a retail price by 50%,, and I assume, still make a profit on the item... Makes me wonder JUST what the item is worth to begin with?..... lololololol
