091 project..

[100]

Almost done.. Need case refinishing and a coating...

There were a lot of works needed to fit the OEM dial to the movt as well as fitting the movt into the OEM case. But that means nothing for our expert up north.

Cannot find OEM handset. Don't like the paint on DSN handset. Tried polished Ultimate handset from 164, don't like it. Decided to brushed the DSN handset, I think it matches well with the brushed stick marker on the dial. Install OEM Tritium small second hand since I like a little color difference the handset.

Comments or insults are welcome

Enjoy

Wow, looking great

[vlydog]

Nicely done! This one looks fantastic.

I love it

So is the OEM case set an 091 case with titanium body, brushed SS bezel and CG? And how about a profile shot?

[100]

Except the crown, everything is SS. OEM auto Ti case almost impossible to find. Beside, I am not shooting for 1:1 replication, too hard to do.

This built is not accurate at all. I'll get some case picture tomorrow. No more daylight here and I don't have light box

amazing ... congratulations! where did the datewheel come from?

[100]

C,

The DW was from Ultimate 164. Finally, after 10 months, it's mounted on something instead of inside parts box lol. Thanks to you for the dial

[wheaton26]

it looks great buddy! i've been wondering where you've been and if anything was happening with this project? oddly enough, i just got the ultimate 164 last week. lol. all the best.

Sweetness personified

[babola]

Wow...that date now looks almost bigger than cardinal numerals on the dial - great magnification, mate!

Hide it, don't let Panerai see that DW, they may get all sorts of new ideas

[Eton]

Wow, that's sweet!!! Congrats

[100]

Thanks guys. It's not finished yet though. Just too exciting not to share

Really nice job you're doing there

Yes... the hands are quite special on the 91, the are sprayed with something...

The crystal also has a very special AR coating, like no other model... almost a purple, but will change color depending on the angle I think due to the refection off the anthracite, which is beautiful stuff!

Here's a shot of mine:

[swdivad]

sorry for the double post guys

[100]

Beautiful watch sir.

Wished I can find the gen 091 hands.... They are undeed very special.

[fishgodeep]

Very impressive 100 ....good luck with the project

I would think that a few coats of satin varnish/lacquer would help to duplicate the Gen hand texture...

[btocamelo]

what about this handset?

[100]

Looks good! Wanna sell them?

Here ya go with a couple lume pictures as well

[gran]

impressive

[dluddy]

Looks fantastic

[Drulee]

That CG is actually not accurate for the 091, as this model was only a D or E series, but the beefy CG still looks great

Besides you already said you are doing it to your own preferred specs, which makes this one truly unique

Envious of that gen dial though

[100]

Yep, it's completely wrong, almost everything on this piece is wrong to the original 091. The CG is the rollerball type also

Heck, the caseback is the shadow caseback of the Pam 090.
