flavor flav Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 i've had over 25 pm's offering to buy this dial.... this is one i modified for another member for a custom vintage cortebert project. the lume is actually a mix of a few different things and the dial is airbrushed with a mixture of mostly black with gold, bronze, and silver metallic mixed in to give the dial an "old" finish. i'd be glad to make these for anyone who needs one and sends me their dial but please...THIS one is not for sale. i built it for someone else it seems my photobucket account is jacked... cannot log in and pics dropping off like flies.... WTF is going on here?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Awesome! But how did you manage to protect the "radionir panerai" writings from your airbrush work, Flav?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RiverwindMDS Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi flav, can I ask you a question? did you write the words RAdiomir Panerai on the dial or they are the ones that already were on the dial? Do you know someone that can write on the dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 how did you manage to protect the "radionir panerai" writings from your airbrush work, Flav?!? I suppose this question will stay unanswered, won't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye_lin Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Trade secrets I guess..... BTW... The dial belongs to me..... Chris... Great job as usual!! Kai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavor flav Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Awesome! But how did you manage to protect the "radionir panerai" writings from your airbrush work, Flav?!? the fonts are not touched...the trick is to airbrush on many many thin coats and avoid the font...mostly comes with skill and practice.

jomama Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 You know what would be cool? manufacture these in large form as wall clocks. They dont need to "vintagized" but just Panerai or Omega dials etc. Anyone in for one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepsea Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 that swiss made is still seen IMHO you should remove it completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
