ettienne Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share 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.
