Some recent mods by Ziggy

[dluddy]

Just got these back from Ziggy and wanted to share the results.

First is my 188. Ziggy had previously painted the subdial hands black (before the models came out with this fix) and Superlumed the dial. He just completed the final mods I plan to do (until I rdecide to replace the Asian 7750 with swiss) by replacing the rep crown with one of Kruz's OEM crowns. It is also sporting a newly AR'd crystal thanks to the last Chief AR run.

Before:

After:

Next up is my 172 Tantalium. To me, this is an underrated Panerai model. It is truly a beautiful design and the Rep is pretty good, albeit not made of tantalium but Titanium. If I could find the right caseback I'd be finished. The Rep caseback had no markings, unfortunately.

These are the first mods I have done to this and I think Ziggy did an incredible job. He did a cannon pinion fix and also relumed the sausage Dial with Superluminova. I really like what the Chief Single side AR did for the crystal and highly recommend his services

I'm no By-Tor or Pugwash in the photography department but hope you enjoy the results of the work as much as I do.

Thanks Zig

As you know I'm not a PAM fan, but that looks impressive.

Congrats my friend... and enjoy (of course).

Loving the 188. Wear them well. I have a couple more coming back from Ziggy shortly I hope and will add to the mod-mania. By the way my 188 and 196 are headed in shortly for the crown upgrade as well as a dial upgrade in the case of the 188 as well.

The single AR is subtle, and probably even harder to detect over the white dial. You're probably seeing the AR more on the Tantalium, right? Both look great, though, and as always The Zigmeister's work is second to none.

You see the tint on the black dial Tantalium more but the Dial just really pops out on the white dial 188 with the AR. It is hard to photograph and describe but trust me it makes a huge difference
