projectologist Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Started out awhile back with a spare Noob V3 case set. Got the dial and movement (having visited The Zigmeister for the Inca-bloc anti-shock mod) and case back from another member. J series hands from my parts box. I polished the bevels and teeth of the ratchet and crown wheels as well the edges of the bridge plates. Both wheel screws were flattened and polished too. With the cg, I shortened the lever tip a little, flattened both the lever and roller bearing pins. The lever pin was re-installed slightly recessed below flush. Last, the entire case was polished to a more gen-like finish. I'm not a big fan of sandwich dials, but this one is growing on me. I may actually keep it for a couple of more weeks Some pics from this afternoon... iPhone 4 and Camera+...

lo1700 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 absolutely stunning. a little remark: if you want to make it perfect, its important also to match exactly the numbers: OP6567 E PAM 111 Luminor Marina Steel 44mm Luminor Marina serial E: E-series: June 2002-June 2003 hope this can be useful to many regards Lorenzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one he has is a N Serial OP6727, as noted by the caseback engraving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP number 6727 is correct for the N series serial number. All of the numbers are correct on this caseback for the N series 111 You must be new to Panerai... the numbers change every year with a new series designation starting with the next letter of the alphabet corresponding to the year of release. The "O" series are showing up now. Edited March 15, 2013 by projectologist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo1700 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 :)just to be clear. It was not a critical...I was absolutely delighted to see this work. I just wanted to make notice a thing for me not correct. And no, I'm not new to Panerai... I know perfectly the Millesimation and numbering..

I just wanted to make notice a thing for me not correct. And no, I'm not new to Panerai... I know perfectly the Millesimation and numbering.. I know you were not being critical. I just wanted you to know everything is correct. All of the numbers on my watch are correct for the N series. The E series are different numbers. The numbers change every year with each new 111 series Maybe someone else can comment and explain it more clearly to you.
