Quick & Dirty Pics of all my PAM projects!

[dylan]

So the fun of this hobby in my opinion is the modding process....It can be frustrating...time consuming...but in the end its a labor of love...

Excuse the crap pics...they are taking indoors without a light box...need to build another one since the big move...

or the 196. Help me out if you have an opinion.

Some great examples of Panerai replicas you've got there Dave.

My collection is actualy very similar to yours :-)

[Watchmeister]

Very nice group of projects. If you are going to use a double AR crystal on any PAM (since the gen are all single-sided) I would put it on the daylight. I don't think the 63 had AR as it is a C series but someone can correct me if I am wrong.

[dylan]

@bab: always wondered what your collection looked like....

@W: you're absolutely correct...but i'm a double AR junkie

[Watchmeister]

I would still go with the Daylight then. You don't know how the AR is going to interact with your cyclops and glue. I suspect Chief can tell you though.

[StormTooper4]

Very nice collections indeed, particularly that 002D feeling that alot.

Having double A/R on Daylight wouldn't hurt, although a well done single A/R would be my pref. My 196 was originally from member 'lovepanerai' who's done most of the groundwork, including a single A/R by chieftang (suposedly, cannot confirm this as a fact).

I like my Pams as 'basic' when it comes to A/R, single-side treated (D-series onwards)...when I'm after an A/R fix I strap on a Breitling :-)

[dylan]

no breits for me at the moment Babs...well...for now i've decided to do:

tcrown/lello dw/lume job on the 196 and 063....

need to find someone that does cyclops...
