chris5264 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I reasembled this thing this morning. In many ways it is a total pos, the movement is crap, the hands are bent and scratched, the movement is held in place by unscrewing two screws on the movement far enough that the case back holds it in place, and the crown guard is only held in place by a single screw. However, I think the skeleton Panerai just looks very cool. I have two good skeleton movements on the way (6497s) and will try to get this same look but with a little quality.

chris5264 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Thanks,,as far as mods go this is actually an easy one. Most people seem to put skeletons with dress watches but I really think this works. I had this thing on all day and was the first time I got a compliment on a watch ever.

Dutchy Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Dude, that is an AWEEEEESOME watch, wow! Liked it from the first second I opened the thread (most Pam's I need to warm up to), very very unique and cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiumdesigners Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 yeah, that does look slick. where did that movement live in before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 yeah, that does look slick. where did that movement live in before? An invicta. One of their 200 dollar watches worth about 25. However, it is keeping decent time. I got a great deal on a total skeletonized 6497 from the WM, paid 75! and will be putting it in a nice luminor style case. Now, that should be pretty cool.

KB Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Now you've done it! We are all going to want one Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Very sweet, I have always liked skeleton watches. There is a cartier one floating among the dealers, minus the gross mispellings I would be all over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
