jkirke Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) After a years worth of collecting parts, she's back from up North and onto my wrist. This was the first Panerai that I saw when first researching the brand. The simplicity of the dial and case set-up really set it off for me. The parts used were: Andrew SS case with Genuine sapphire, FGD dial, DSN hands, t_48 crown, and unknown source CG. Only part that isn't correct is the caseback, I'm waiting on word from a fellow member about it, then she'll be complete! Thanks to The Zigmeister for making this mans dream come true. She's a true beauty. Edited April 11, 2009 by jkirke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babola Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Great one! The only thing I'd still try to do would be getting a hand-set relumed by The Zigmeister in his shade lighter T-lume, that green lume doesn't do this great watch a justice @tonryart...that's first gen DSN 201/A CG, long gone... Wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear it well! Good call on the relume of the hands. I'll probably get that done when I send off my next project. Thanks for the warm words!! THe watch was a big hit at Easter lunch today.
