Watchmeister Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Does anyone else ever come up with a fantasy history to go along with a fantasy or franken watch? Well, if not I am the only 10 year old here. And here is one of mine: As many PAM fans know there are very few examples (only two I am aware of) of Pre-A 03's and both were with 6500 cases. Here is my fantasy 6502. Specs on this one include: - Gen 03 T-dial. Rumored to be stolen from the Panerai factory at the time Vendome was moving in. I didn't purchase it until 2002 though. This is one of 3 which I am aware of which came up with the dial completed but the tritium never applied - Gen T hands - Gen caseset and crystal (C or earlier series), crown guard and pre-V crown - Gorgeous caseback purchased from another esteemed member a couple of years ago; and last but not least: - First generation Dirks Panerai strap - softest I have ever had. Oh yes, and please ignore the bare feet. And the obligatory wrist shot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 What a wonderful watch! Usually have a hard time with white dials, but this is just too darn nice. Lovely write-up too, hadn't heard the background story before, thanks W! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Great Dial and caseback looks a treat. That strap is pretty special to. Wear it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
