V Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Today I got in the mail my beloved Black project from Finepics. I am extremely happy with the PVD look.. Exactly the same as the genuine one... Only problem is that Mark send it with dirty glass on the inside and a bit of dirt on the dial and I cannot unscrew the bloody CG screws to clean it ANyway... I had two straps ready for it.. The first is the black CK with the Logo PVD buckle and the second the Europelli baseball with a BOB PVD'ed GPF buckle.. Hope you like it...

V Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I know most of you will prefer the Europelli... and maybe it is better.. BUT this watch it is made to be the Blackest Possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubFrog Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 the black CK with the Logo PVD buckle - NOW THAT'S the goods there! Vader's watch. I'm not big on Pams really, but I had an 005 base logo with a rubber strap and it was pretty cool. I like that black strap with pvd buckle you got there!

Quarks Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I am going with black strap on PVD. Looks sooo badass. Good to see your project turned out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 UN - BE- LIEVABLE Yesterday my wife has seen the 187 and she was trying to kill me with it because she said it was the ugliest watch I have ever bought... Anyway... Today, she came to pick me up to go to the post office to send some ebay stuff. The moment she has seen the PVD with the black strap she was doing like crazy because she said IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PAM EVER.. and while I was in the queue she was taking the watch from my wrist to wear it.. Guess what.. I came home without a watch and my beloved Darth Vaders watch its in her wrist I can't believe she liked more than ever this watch.. This was supposed to be an Evil men's only watch... Imagine what it will happen when she will see it on the Europelli... Bye bye PVD ANyway.. our music backround is quite dark and her favourite band is The Cure.. so I guess it wasn't such a surprise... P.S. TOday she is wearing a Pink Hard Rock shirt and my watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Congrats on your gorgeous watch and your wife's good taste! Just, why cannot you unscrew the CG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steely Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 @ V I was just about to say... this is the nicest pam i've seen so far. Keep it simple, all this chronozilla canopener subdial stuff is too much for a panerai. This is the one to go. Please let us know where and what and howmuch. congrats for your great taste.

V Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Congrats on your gorgeous watch and your wife's good taste! Just, why cannot you unscrew the CG?

Thanks a lot for your kind words... THis is a base CN movement Silixprime 112H with sandwich dial. Relumed and PVD'd by Finepics. Strap is custom made Calvin Klein strap by Aaron. Buckle is a rep LOGO one that has also PVD'd by Finepics. The result is very very nice indeed... My idea came from a SAME prototype I have seen in photos from Basil 2006.
