What's your wish list for our resident artisan-dealer (aka "the master")?

1. Could be new models or frankenwatches

2. New parts

3. Improvement(s) on something he already offers.


For me it would be the following:

1. 232 with tobacco colored dial like the gen.

2. A few things:
- Vintage dial that has no panerai marking, but says "Marina Militare"...but for 44mm case in both base and second-sub styles
- Titanium Case watches
- "mini fiddy case" - cushion case in 44mm

3. This is where things get touchy. He is so good, but in the pursuit of perfection I might suggest...
- Crown guards that fit more flush against the case without *any* visible gap
- Even closer font / numbering / indices on 111 and 005 for example.


And most of all, Mr. Davidsen, please keep doing what you're doing - and making a lot of us happy collectors!

I whole-heartedly agree with these two "wishes":

- Vintage dial that has no panerai marking, but says "Marina Militare"...but for 44mm case in both base and second-sub styles
- Titanium Case watches

I'd wish... I'd wish...

For a titanium case with 177h dial (superlumed).

... but then I know the Master specializes only on SS cases.

I would add:

1. improved text on all the dials (000, 112, 111, 005)
2. less space from the indices to the edge of the dial on 210
3. improved 6152-1 with shorter crystal and correct CG (should use fiddy CG without markings)
4. titanium 176
5. 219
6. pink gold 231

I'll be in trouble he did all these. It's around 2 to 3 grands' damage. But I'll die happy.

u can actually request for no straps w the watch..i did that and requested for a cannon pin upgrade instead..

oooh..the dark side watch sounds interesting!! here's my input:

fiddy case/radiomir case/luminor case
oxidised ti/pvd case w "darkside" and "ltd. ed." engraved between the lugs, filled w red SL
red SL sandwich sterilised base dial and hands
swiss untas movement or eta 2824 w red on black date wheel
pvd back case w "davidsen for darkside" and "limited edition of XXX" engraved and filled w red ink
AR coated domed sapphire crystal

yea, I know you can get them w/out a strap.

If he puts together a watch with the above mentioned mods, he will have my money.

in fact I'm putting that cash away now so that when he decides to do it I will be ready for a limited edition :wink:

Would want an updated dial with new font for his 111H (guess you haven't heard that one before :roll: )
Doing that, I bet he'll sell them in hundreds (or more) for all the 111H reps out there, although the current dial isn't bad.
