w0lf Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 There's one watch that I have been building over and over since I joined the forums. While it may seem like a pedestrian model, to me it epitomizes everything I love about Panerai - balance, simplicity, beauty of proportions that appeals to your basal nervous system, and a certain air of spretzzatura. The name for this watch is Panerai Luminor Marina, model No. 1 or PAM00001. This time it's my sixth and hopefully final take on this model, and you probably guessed why the nickname Ginormous thanks for everyone that helped me along my with quest, wouldn't be achievable without your involvement and even if it were it wouldn't mean half as much without your friendship - Watchmeister, The Zigmeister, Ubi, PeteM Specifications: -Geniune NOS LSL Marina dial -Geniune service hands -Geniune case -Geniune crystal -Geniune period correct crown -Geniune crownguard -Geniune strap -Swiss ETA6497-2 w/ ETA H3 -Eddie Lee oldschool caseback Almost four years ago my affliction began: o v1: o v2: o v3: o v4: o v5 had FGD's PreA 01/04/40 dial but I never took pics as it was very short-lived since I decided to turn it into my other all time favorite - PAM40Bt with a PASC mismatch PreA dial instead.

Watchmeister Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 If you cook the way you build watches I will be over for Thanksgiving later this afternoon. That piece is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
