kingkaiser Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 My first Pam was a DSN 086 with the anthracite dial. While Ive fallen for the new breed of super reps, that dial is amongst the best panerai dials I've seen. so I was thinking that maybe it could do with a shift out of the incorrect DSN titanium case with blue AR to a nice h-fact brushed steel or titanium case. Or hell, even just the h-facy crystal. Problem is, I'm not sure if it will fit. Any guys here who have tried to play and match with parts? how successful was it, and did you have to shave down the dial a bit or did things fit without any problems? Thanks!

Ronin Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have successfully interchanged Noob and H-Factory parts with my DSN 112/111 176/177 stuff. Although my crystals are Chief AR'd DSN originals. The only other gotcha I noticed is there seemed to be a variance in H-Factory Dial Feet for the Asian 6497, but not the Noob. Strange... Also, the Noob Crown would not fit the DSN case without opening up the tube. CG's and Casebacks were interchangeable though. HTH, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkaiser Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks for the feedback So the crowns can't be swapped out without work, and you wouldn't know bout the xtals, right? Dya think the DSN dial would fit a h-fac case?you mentioned the dial feet on the h-fac; not sure if that meant that a DSN dial couldn't be swapped in.

Ronin Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Correct. Crown/Tube not compatible. I would go out on a limb and say the xtals will interchange. The dial feet on the H-Factory 112 dial were not compatible with a SWISS GEN 6497. YMMV. The noob 111 dial however was compatible with a SWISS GEN 6497.
