Mickey Padge Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share 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!

Member X Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share 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...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMan24 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Dial blue needs mo' brightness to match the hand, IMO... Personally I like the purple and yellow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingkaiser Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share 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!

maxman Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
