OneMan24 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I edited my above images to include matching strap stitching....did brodie's for him too.
Mickey Padge Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I edited my above images to include matching strap stitching....did brodie's for him too. Great stuff! Thanks very much This is the one I like best of all: I still think a blood red would be better, and with the subdial hands painted too, reminds me of that Chopard watch.... Cheers!
hiker01 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Great stuff! Thanks very much This is the one I like best of all: Cheers! +1
Member X Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I presume that if a group buy was set up, and The Zigmeister was doing all the work himself, he could do whatever configurations people wanted...?
docblackrock Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Okay last one (wish I could edit my posts). I just don't want to do work today. Blue is too dark - highlight by definition needs to be bright. Anyway no need to photoshop when you have a real pic to work from So Zig, now you've seen sense , just let me know when you're open for business. You know like the winner of a design competition when all the other entrants were clamouring for hideous red or awful orange
RWG Technical Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Posted March 5, 2009 Well here is what I did when I got home today... I tried to blue the seconds hand with by careful application from my micro torch, but all I ended up doing was turning it blue but in the process softening it up to the consistancy of lead...so that hand is in the scrap bin. Looking through my spares, I found a already blued genuine hand (ie not painted blue), I installed it, and then painted the subdial to see what the results would be...here is it... Better shot of the subdial paint... RG
Mickey Padge Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Looks really sweet, much better to have a metal blue second hand than paint it I think, it catches the light really well I still think you need the same metal blue subdial hands to go with it, for legibility if anything else!
bosk Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Great pics and an awesome project...but some1 needs to source a proper sapphire crystal for such a nice watch...the majority of us have mineral on our 212's.
OneMan24 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Dial blue needs mo' brightness to match the hand, IMO... Personally I like the purple and yellow!
rolli Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 this is which i like. i've seen these images last year on paneristi forum and started my own 212 pvd project. still i'm waiting for the upgrade 212 dial. rolli
Cyfer Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 OMG, I think the original Stealth is absolutely Beautiful!! I NEED ONE!!! Please say you'll eventually make a couple more to be sold to members.
old skool Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 That's pretty slick. I like the blue lume.
lanikai Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 You again have taken it to another LEVEL RG !!! Darth Vader is envious !
P4GTR Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 lol... This is actually the coolest watch i've seen in a bit. I kind've like the 100% stealth look. Good choice on the replacement chrono hand.
kingkaiser Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 I know I'm pulling this post out of the dead, but DAYUMMNN that is one gorgeous 212! The 212 was already one of my fav Pams, but your stealth treatment takes it to a level that Panerai couldn't hope to go themselves. Incredible work The Zigmeister!
RWG Technical Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Posted October 24, 2010 I forgot how good this one looked, it's a great piece, thanks for the bump...
mossanti Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 Looks like I have another friend here! Might contact you Zieg for something in mind! Love yours..
lfovco Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 Looks truly amazing. Panerai should pick your idea up. Well... buy it from you ;-)
RK8 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 Would you be interested in selling or building me one? Happy to pay $$$ for it !
maxman Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 I cant believe I missed this one...fantastic work as always Zigmeister. I like the bumble bee Idea that MIA member Toadtorrent made In reference. Love my 253 btw. Reguardless...beautiful work. Mike
Ephry73 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 The sweep chrono hand should definitely be either red or orange. I love the way has is. I may have to get a 212 or alike to do something like this to. Heck the Firenze company should do something like this
