Thanks friends for your nice comments

You are really encouraging to continue

No special knowledge about PAMs is needed to write this thread, just a little about materials and alloys
The main merit is from the SEM Electron Microscope... LOL

Ale, sorry to repeat every one here, but seeing this mission through to the end is exactly why the RWI Panerai section is the finest of its kind on any watch forum. Congrats! I am now starting to change my mind on the 382. It may find its way into my watch box;)

Is there any member of any forum anywhere that does more for their community than Ale?

Just incredible technical work.

I bought the the z factory V2. Love it but the case color appears more brass like than bronze. Hopefully we can determine exactly what it's made of with a similar analysis.

And this level insight into a field I would otherwise be lost is the reason I make VIP contributions. Still wearing my KW382 V1 as a daily beater, and she only gets better over time. Ale, you get my nod for site MVP this year.

Isn't Angus also interested in ZF case analysis? This is also free promotion for ZF!
