I would like to build the ultimate 187 and would love if the PROS here would help me with this project. Who would be the 187 master [lol]. All your help would be much appreciated. It would be great to be able to use all the resources on this fantastic site to create this super pam. Thanks in advance, Dave.

You're going to need a honpo 187 with Swiss 7753 movement to start...

Then, you're going to need a Lello DW for the 7753....

When you get there, then we can proceed....

You will have to find one in the second-hand market... On the Honpo 187 Swiss 7753, you would have to outbid me... so, about $1400... and then the lello would add another $100 approx.

Figure $50 for install of lello... and $150-75 for lume... and then another $80 or so for AR....

You're looking at like $1,800 all in...

Anyone who has a Swiss 7753 powered Panerai at this point is not going to give it up.... and even more so for a Honpo one...

I may try to get a Honpo 194... it's obtainable... although not easily...

You can get the Honpo 194 right now if you know Japanese and have a Japanese address.... or know someone who has a Japanese address...
