Drulee Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Well one major flaw is the movement. That movement was only appropriate for E-G series Panerai, while your case back is an "H" series. So either switch movements, or try to find an earlier series case back.

hooky Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Well, do you care about the case back, because it is not visible on the wrist.. typical mods what you can do is indeed, a relume, install a better higher cannon pin (the pin on which the hour and minute hands are installed). You can also mod your crown guard. the pin is not flush. it has already the correct color, the pin. because the pin on this model should not be brushed, should not be polished, but should be matte. can use sandpaper 600. and then buff it very light with cape clod. Of course doing this after you made the pin flat so it can sit flush in the cg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooky Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 you can also get a better relumed dial from DSN. than you're done with the dial. maybe he also sells cannon pins. other flaw is the crown. you could go for a ti T crown. And since the watch is 4 years old and is Ti (easy scratching), you could really use a brush pin from the watchboys. (you can find them on google or on ebay).

unregistered Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 What's wrong with that dial? A rep sausage dial is lightyears ahead of any sandwich rep dial out there (except LH). Do not change that dial at all. Get it relumed by Vacc or The Zigmeister. Get a new Canon pin for the hands (both the modders can do that work for you for an extra cost) Next thing would be to get potentially a Toro Bravo crown guard (dealer on RG) which should be better than the current one you have, or if the pregnant hump isn't a big deal, get one from DSN which is slightly thicker than the current rep ones, but sans the hump. Caseback, there was a recent release of shoddy Ti manual wind PAMs, but the caseback was of an earlier G/F series, can't remember, that would make it more accurate than you H series. Crown looks decent, but seems a little far from the side of the case. Also due to the photo being so close, its hard to tell with the fisheye effect. You could potentially upgrade it to a T48 Ti crown, before he runs out of stock. That dial, even with its flaws in printing, is a good dial. Keep it, just get it lumed. OEM base dials are pretty rare, especially for sausage, can't remember ever seeing one to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
