LegendofSpeed Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Ok.... just got this done last night... it's a gen crystal from an A,B,or C series (6mm cyclops)... the design of it was completely different than the rep as it had the cyclops area hollowed out and then a cyclops set inside that hollowed out area... Props to projectologist, the newest pledge for the SoCal family for helping out with this one... and to all the guys in the family for their continued help and counsel... this was the piece that brought me back into this hobby, and i'm glad it did... Thank you to The Zigmeister as well for making this a masterpiece... Panerai 063 replica.... ETA 2893-2 movement / The Zigmeister Lume / Genuine Crown install by The Zigmeister / Genuine Crystal and Crown Guard install by me / Lello Datewheel... strap by Schwing, procured from H_U... If anyone has, or knows how i can get, a correct caseback, let me know please.... i have the b100/500.... need the Cxxxx/1500 OP6524 to complete this! Beginning pic... replica crystal / watchman cyclops / replica datewheel Intermediate pic...replica crystal / watchman cyclops / Lello datewheel Final... genuine crystal and cyclops / Lello datewheel
projectologist Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Glad to be of service! Can't wait to see it in the metal. Robert still pledging in SoCal
HauteHippie Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Very cool. Is it just me or is the diameter slightly larger than 6mm on the gen cyclops?
LegendofSpeed Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Posted December 5, 2008 the gen and the watchman were the same width...
jake48 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 the gen and the watchman were the same width... Very nice indeed! Now about that left over 063 crystal with the Watchman cyclops - Wouldn't that look perfect on my project 063?
cc Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Hey LOS. great pickup. bring it to lunch tomorrow. i wanna see it completed. man i cant wait for mine to be finished...
Watchmeister Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Congrats. Looks great. Wear it well and welcome to the club. That crystal makes all the difference. And no, there is no correct c case back for the 63.
Dani Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 have you guys get all this parts is beyond me. Looks great and wear it well Cheers
LegendofSpeed Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Posted December 5, 2008 It's a combination of being in the right place at the right time... and lots of luck... Sometimes, I don't believe how lucky I have been... quite a few people have hooked me up... On the caseback... I wonder if I could get a blank caseback and get it engraved...
Rolexfinder Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 Wow such a nice watch. I would like to get the genuine crytal on mine as well. Cheers, Paul
