viper Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) My vintaged 47mm Pam pic. I used scotchbrite on the case, dark brown marker on the numbers, and nail polish remover on the dial. Would appreciate advice and opinions as this is my first time 'aging' a Pam. Thanks for looking.... Edited July 4, 2007 by viper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildee Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I recommend you redo the dial. It looks nasty like that. Strip off all the paint and repaint with matte paint then hand paint the LUMINOR PANERAI and the indices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willith Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 The dial wear doesn't match the case wear. The dial looks like it's been flooded underwater for years and the case looks like you've worn it a dozen times. Keep playing with it, I'm sure you'll find something you like. Others have used tea to darken the hands and dial and if you put the care in a container with a bunch of pennies and knock it around and then hit it with a little sandpaper it will look more used. Have fun and let us see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I was just thinking of that an hour ago, will most probably matte the whole dial and leave it plain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
