Your watch contains a really great movement particularly if it is swiss. This movement was the Caliber: OP II Base Movement: ETA 6497/2 and was used in the A-D series.
The movement the F series should be the same as the 1950 engraved Calibre OP XI.
So your watch is more of a 001 variant all bar the case back. I’m not sure if you want to go through the palaver of making it a pre-V/A and still having a possibly incorrect movement.
Unfortunately as far as I am aware the only watch that had a display case back for this movement was the 036 MM SE in Titanium
There is a really nice D series 001 here and here
My suggestion would be to see if you can get a solid caseback for a C or D series from DSN or if you want to spend $ then Jakob.
You can then sell the F series caseback . You would then have a pretty correct watch with the correct movement. Get a gen strap and all will be sweet
I reckon it would be a winner, I saw some 27 with 28 dials and they looked great so go for it. I agree Ti is an acquired taste and when combined with a black dial looks way to sombre and dull. GO FOR It and I look forward to seeing your pics. Won't it be a bit like the 199
It's $85 its not a massive amount is it? try it you might like it , but it might be worth shout a few extra bucks on this http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlsv01106-vintage-5513-date-submariner-asia-2813-28800-best-p-9667.html
Yes there will be a difference but it can be quite minimal especially on the quality replicas. Sometimes a bit of a cap cod cloth rub down will smooth the edges if required. The new panerai are very well made. You will need to invest $ in a new strap though. The Big Pilots are good except the Anti Reflective coat isn't the same and the Power Reserve a dummy one. The crown tubes though are a different issue altogether. You need to try one yourself then you can decide
Are you of a Metalhead/Goth Type Stock? then go for it, If you are a mild mannered accountant both day and night , buy it and keep it in its special box and look at it when you feel the need to be Phantom like ( i never knew he wore a ring )
It is all here
But just use Goggle search with a "RWG+" as this one is pants
Get yourself the new 104 first
then 005
and then perhaps a Chrono
and then a Rad
or maybe a rad chrono, '
and you will need a PVD
and then a Pre V
and then a base perhaps an 002
and then a White Dial
and the a DSN Sub
and you'll need some good leather to put them on
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH the Madness of it
Good for you, it won't be easy but I'm sure you won't miss those hangovers. Best of Luck and I reckon you will still put up an entertaining post here and there with out the booze
BS
Are you serious? there are loads of posts on the new 312/320/359 that Angus Puretime produced earlier this year with the A7750 movement. The older 35Jewel version should be avoided
