subzero1 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 So, had a DSN 082 that I never wore. I mean it looked cool and all, but the blue dial somehow didn't every fit with what I was wearing or my mood, so it sat in the watch box almost always. So much so, that I was on the verge of just selling it. But, I decided to see if I could salvage something from it instead. I had an old 111H black dial from another DSN watch, with pretty wide and shallow cutouts for the numbers. It really is not accurate for current PAMS (which is why I swapped it out of my 111H a while back). But I always liked how bold and 'old school' it looked. So in it went. And I kept the black subdial seconds hand from the 082, which combined with the black dial and black hour and minute hands really makes the watch very rugged and military looking. Of course, crystal has double AR coating from chieftang. I think it looks great, a perfect look for old-style panerai: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subzero1 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thanks all. That's one thing I've decided is very cool about the rep world, you have more freedom to make things look exactly the way that you want. With gens it's just too pricey to mod the watches in any significant way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newdoc Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wow, Sub, that's ridiculous. Streamlined/updated classics are a personal favorite. Some day my next project will be a 60's mustang fastback with OEM parts, except rims and tires. Preserve the beauty and integrity of the classic parts, and swap out something that's not permanent with a modern upgrade. very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wow! I'm in Seoul, Korea at the moment on a business trip and I'm glad I checked RWG. That is one outstanding combination. I never knew such a small change would have such a huge impact. Awsome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat.tail.event Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Thanks for this post. My purple DSN 036 dial situation has caused me significant brain damage (loss of rep wear time as well). I've been tossing around your solution for quite some time and seeing the result has pushed me to start the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
