hiker01 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Been busy the past weeks working on some Panerai projects and here's the first that got done! The problem is, which model should I call it..... PAM177G or PAM061. Based on my research, this is very close to the PAM177G, here's the GEN: The PAM061 is suppose to be a dark brown dial, but some sites says more of Anthracite, most pictures of what I've seen looks like this GEN: So, experts......or not, what 'dya think? Here it is: Wristshots: This one looks more like the 061: Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 If it is going to be a closed back and your dial is tobacco (deep chocolate brown), then 061. If it is a display back, with and E/F/G engraved movement, and dial is black then 177G. The 061 dial is definitely not Anthracite, nor textured like the Anthracite ones.

peepshow Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 That's a black dial, so the only thing it can be is a 177. Unless the photos aren't showing the true colors of the dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Thanks guys! I guess 177g is good! It's the dial that is close! Now I just have to find the correct display caseback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drulee Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Actually, I'm not sure if there ever was a rep 177G display back. But I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 looks great, F!... well done... R- Thanks R-! BTW: I'll be in NY/NJ from tomorrow till Sun., give me a buzz if you have time! Actually, I'm not sure if there ever was a rep 177G display back. But I could be wrong. LOL! Another search! I saw the 177g and 061 online doing some research on Vintage PAMs and since I had a spare DSN Dial that looks like the 177g and a spare Jackson Tse Ti case, but was too shiny (I modded the case to look similar to the 177g and I think it came out ok!), so I thought, why not! Now the search for the caseback begins! Thanks, Drulee! Hike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 What did you do the JTse case to make it look better? Just 3M brushing, or more? Too bad there wasn't an F series 177 - as there is an F series rep display back. I just used said back for the 118F I just finished building (pics coming soon ).

hiker01 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Got the idea from Lani....soak it in 1 cup of OxyClean and 1 cup of water for 24 hrs! When I took it out, it scared the crap out of me koz it looked like it turned into brass....literally that's how it look like! But, I cape codded it for 10 mins, left it on for 30 mins and polished it, and ......viola! As you could see it came out kinda dullish Ti! Looks like the Ti case of my 036: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I just grabbed a JTse ti case I have lying around, and don't really see why it would need refinishing. The ti looks great, same colour and tone of a couple gen (not PAM) ti watches I've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
