Anyone have a girlfriend/wife who love Panerai?

[shelby1501]

Well I do. And because she did something for me that I really appreciate, I wanted to make her something special as a gift. Well, as special as one student can afford.
I thought it could be interesting idea for someone who's planning similar gift so wanted to share it with you guys.

Recipe was: friend who owns precise wood processing machine + someone who's hobby is pyrography + Sead's special PAM 390.

After some wood painting and varnishing, padding the interior and attaching elastics to hold PAM in place, here is the final product:















And wristies with her's 390 and my 372:





I think I've chosen right watch for her and that it suits her pretty well.

Let me know what you think and if anyone needs any additional info (although it's pretty simple to make) feel free to ask.

Bravo! Excellent combo and enclosure. I've always appreciated hand made gifts/gift boxes. I still have some even though the gifts are gone

Lovely idea, well done and the watches just look great on both wrists. Happy GF is what matters

Great gesture.

Copy paste for my girlfriends birthday..

Nah her wrists are too small for a 390, but a great idea!

Nice idea is the box hand made/custom? I guess you could do this for different watches

Does she knows it is a rep ?

Hopefully she repays the gesture.

372 n 390 are great combo for couple!

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it!

Yes, box is custom made by my sister's boyfriend who works with wood. It can be done for different watches, I just have to see price with him. Shoot me a PM if you need something like this so I'll check with him.

Does she knows it is a rep ?

Of course she does! We are 22/23 years old, she knows all my watches and liked Panerai first time she saw it.

Hopefully she repays the gesture.

Heh this gesture is repay for what she done for me.

More pics!
