really good start - now go on collecting!!

killer-watch!!

this is a very nice collection. good choice of watches.

there's NO good rep of the kirium. I've searched a long time for a kirium, but there's no good one. so I got the gen...

very beautiful. great work.

I'm sure you still have the gen case to convert back to the original watch, if needed. very clever!

thank you all for the kind words

THEY DON'T CALL YOU MERLIN FOR NOTHING...!?!??! OMFG!!! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

That's what a vintage should look like! Old-school, but not beaten up & thrown around.

When are you taking orders?!?!?!

That is one of the most gorgeous watches I've seen.....Imagine if PANERAI released a version of this bad-boy in their range....ther's be stampedes on the streets, anarchy & chaos

AWESOME job Merlin!

Thank for the pics!!

MM

sorry, no orders. I'm building watches just for me.

Looks stunning!

Was wondering.. who/what is Hixxy?

Hixxy is a great guy over at homageforum.com, AFAIK on another board also known as PatronSaintofChainsaws

finally I managed to complete my collection of my favorite vintage PAMs (3646, 6152 and 6152-1).

first pic from left to right:

3646 with A.Douard 8 day

6152 with Hamilton 917

mini 6152-1 with Molnija movement

6152-1 with SF240 8 day Angelus movement

5218-201/A

hope you like the pics...

I just finished my 3646 prototype with an 8 days A.Douard movement.

it has a ross dial, repainted, resin filled and superlumed, T-hands, reshaped Hixxy case with soldered lugs and tube, Hixxy bezel, nightwatch caseback and an Ant ammo strap.

Hope you like the result.

great shape...

@Merlin...how are you spraying the dial and not effecting the printing on the dial?...also, how did you fix the scratch and blend the paint into the other areas?...what are the diffs between the two paints in your pix above?...

well done...the piece looks great...

R-

I just used the clear varnish. so I can spray the whole dial, but on the white paint you don't see an effect.

I fixed the scratches with very little amount of paint and a silver-polishing-cloth.

the difference between these two paints is the color. one is black, the other one is clear, I used the clear one only.

okay

now I'll take this instead of the 8 day

*LOL*

very nice, enjoy it!

this is a very good price, thanks

new painted and filled dial, new CG, new strap, new lume and new plexi...

mineral or sapphire?

also no words, just WOW!!!

choosing the angelus today... (...again)
