hiker01 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Finally finished one of a few Vintage Panerais I always wanted to have, thanks to the Burnz and Donerix for introducing me to these rare beauties. I bought the first one I have from Donerix, which was an amazing 6154, but I did not feel the connection! I have to build these beauties for my self.....so here's the first one! Panerai 2533: These pictures were taken after the Vintagizing process, I think you all know how they look like brand new. The Dial: The Movement.....Molinja: The Crown and Case: and the Finished product: and on the wrist: Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Looks good, those Nylons work surprisingly well on the 3646 case: If you ever want to change: here is a good solution for fixed lug (invisible rivet strap): http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx173/postrrboy/Picture031-3.jpg http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx173/postrrboy/Picture025-2.jpg taken from postrrboy's post on RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Very nice work mate as always, great pics too I wonder if you used a Brushed steel Finish polish on the case would it help age that polished look?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your my Idol and inspiration when it comes to Vintage PAMs! I just have to build them myself! Could you PM me the source? I've got one given to me by a friend and I need more! I used that one on my almost finished 3646! Very nice work mate as always, great pics too I wonder if you used a Brushed steel Finish polish on the case would it help age that polished look?? Thanks, Pete! I will try your suggestion! Nice work Hike! It's inspiring...there's just something about vintage pieces, I'm really starting to fall for these! Cheers Thanks, Eton!
