Hello guys,
i'll share some of my build, most i made myself - made is a big word here, mostly plug and play, some i gave to watchmaker for cleaner vision.
I use handwound movement, because i like them and they were like that in the past.
I use units 6497/8, asian clones and russian molnia (they copy cortebert movement even improve it)
I like panerai wathces very much, especialy and i should say most only vintage ones, from Panerai History times.
I don't think new pam deserves so much money in gen, but f.me i like it so much i don't know why, normaly i dont like simple dials, but this doomed glas,
that crown guard..
I like my builds sterile so i did this one may be 2 y ago. Didn't know or check parts and sources, so ebay was the place and i overspend some cash
like buying nos 6498, case, dial, hands, even rep strap.
All things got to me quite fast, about 2 weeks.
Ofcourse there were problems, dial was too big and didn't fit, had to filed it out, made a small whole so the sec can fit and rotate freely (dial does not have sec)
Then i put them stem wrongly and pressed too much so i broke the canon pinon, and had to order new one+hour wheel.
I like the result and wore it much.. then i made few changes, relume dial.. f. it then now it has new face.
And complete
That thing sparkle the big fire, cause i loved to do builds more and more, in pam style.
I even began making straps - old military gun holsters, ammo leahter, and new leather, dyes...
Now wath has new face and guts, i put asian clone+river's rivet dial and blue hands, ofcourse i made it few straps for the time
After this one i thougt i should make one smaller, so the idea of build formed - cali dial
and i thought of pam 249.
I sourced a molly and case
then a dial (besides of try for bell&ross homage |)
unfortunately for me i didn't know then were hands pam style for molly and other movements, i tried to broach chinese ones and
they didnt fit... so i used the molly ones, not cool
and a strap i made from old ammo
passing with welded lug vintage panerai, river 3 piece case, athaya dial
47mm big case
i used the swiss untas here also
and done
with some buddies, bought as they are
after came this little jewel, i really like the case without crown guard, this one has some loupe like glass, brevet crown i like much
dont know sourse of case, i put the dial from the WL inside and asian 6497 with trim secs
i did not make fotos of all things been build but those also i made
47mm case with Tribuna Omaggio (homage forum) dial
A bronze Mile Metri, which i sourced part by part, 47mm case big chink of bronze and i used asian 2824 clone
This is rivers case sold ready, but i got the parts from here and there
and done, i sold it and now i bought new MM in steel
continue
this little buddy, i had a rep dial so i made another 45mm one case and a molly, but this time i used pam hands for molly
after those guys
some parts from previous build, and more new ones
finally from all those came :
an iwc pilot, again with the unitas 6498
Rest waited a little, made them straps first
This one MY FAVORITE, made it destro and is quite comfy, also used very beautiful molly from Belkin
Case is some rep one, but good made, dial is also not by me hand lumed.
some compare:
Second one 47mm sterile case, with thinner lugs, again TO dial and hands from river
I saw a picture of a black pam and a cali dial, this combination was perfect it light me up
So i started digin how to make homage to pam 629, and i had luck.
First i found the dial with swiss inscription from the bay and was so cool.
Rest was easy.
i now have this one welded lug case, mixed one besel and case back black pvd and mid case blasted steel.
Movement ring is for molly, i made something but mostly brocke the hands, still don't have a dial for it.
i might missed something, but thats for now
Hope you guys like it.
