marlin22 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi everyone, Some months back I was approached by one of the forum members to build a series of watches for him and some of his friends. After quite a bit of collaboration between all the parties involved we have come to the prototype stage. The watch started off as a PAM 375N, I bead blasted the brown PVD/DLC coating off and left it with the bead bast finish. I put in one of my all Asian movements in it with the ETA markings and put on some custom engraving on the case between the lugs with the series name on one side and the XXX/007 on the other. It's the first prototype so some changes will be made to the next watch. Did notice I screwed up the paperwork it is suppose to say "LIMITED EDITION" not SPECIAL EDITION, my bad easy fix. Please feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts.. The engraving work, still looking into different techniques to use to get the engraving deeper. The engraving turned out to be a great deal harder than I expected it to be specially on a curved suface, but will continue to perfect it. My all Asian movement, everything you see are Asian parts moded to look gen. If you look closely under the balance wheel you can see the ETA markings I have that engraving perfected. Thanks for looking........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any possibility to buy one? Blasting rocks, and Panerai know it, as his finish been around your yonks, especially (in this context) among antique PAM instruments, is it fair to assert that the reason they don't bead blast watches (but rather achieve dull looks with Tantalium or Titanium) is that they are thinking like a fashion brand rather than a tool brand? My thinking as a fan is - Pam should have offered blasted pieces..lemme think...around 2005 !?
