TWP Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) After ordering several watches for order and modding and waiting about then days to get here, stuck four days in customs, my beloved panerai have finally arrived. So for the past several weeks i have been luming dials and hands a head of time, but my supplier sent the wrong seconds hand. the tube was too short and would not fit. this really had my BP up. Here are a couple quick and dirty shots of one watch i assembled tonight. Lume is a mixture of C3/C1. The color when dry is off white but the lume is impressive. I took these shots, no kidding, after 15 seconds of charge. Also the minute hands still needs to be reccessed about 1mm to bring it flush. Enjoy Edited September 21, 2007 by TWP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Exposure time actually less than two seconds Exif and the trace drawn by the second hand say 8 seconds. Doesn't stop it from looking nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Exposure time actually less than two seconds In that case I humbly suggest you get that watch serviced, as its small second hand runs along 5 seconds in less than 2 seconds... the ratio i use is 75 C3/25 C1 Thanks! The best mix ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! The best mix ever. As stated earlier the seconds hand was not seated properly, your mixture close to mine. I was 65/25/5, but now I am 77/23.
