ettienne Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 Here is a work in progress inspired by a panerai I saw called a "SLOB". For those who haven't seen the link, this is a real pam that some looney collector flew around the world to find and verify. I thought it looked very unique and I wanted to replicate it. I may change the dial but don't want another 111 dial so I'll see what options looks best. The dial in there now was an 005 that I superlumed and then messed up so I sort of went overboard trashing it. I thought it worked in this bronze plated case. The CG is also bronze, just muddier because of the plating method. The SLOB has a plexi crystal but seeing how that scratches and for the moment I have an AR sapphire, I am going to stay with that. I will eventually replace the dial when I find the right one. here is the SLOB link: http://www.network54.com/Forum/353391/mess...er-+Have+a+look

mastergod Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Heh...well I have to admire your testicles, etienne. Just keep going, can't wait to see the finished result. You are a true pioneer. BTW I've started the La Spezia project. Gonna take a while though...

sssurfer Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 Great and bold project, congrats! Just get rid of that logo. As for the crystal, have a look at cousinsuk, they have tons of different crystals. Maybe you may find a domed glass that fits the need.
