I don't really post that much because my English sucks, so I usually just read a lot and appreciate all the pieces and knowledge is shared in the forums, but this time I felt the need to share a special piece.
Not the only one, but I think the harder it gets to complete a build, the more special the piece becomes!
Since the first time I saw the PAM 036B I felt in love with it and inmediatelly knew I had to get one, so the obssesive search for the parts started.
I research all the forums and bother a lot of people asking if someone knew about an available T dial, but I guess there was any available at that time, so when I was about the give up and just get a Rolli's dial, the panerai gods took pity of myself and someone offered me a 36B L dial so I inmediatelly got it and thought I would settle with it, but then I realized that I wasn't really feeling the L dial so againg I found myself thinking about dropping the project.
So once again I saw the light and out of the blue someone I had talked to a few weeks before shot me an email saying that there was "something" available. Unfortunatelly it wasn't easy and was a package deal, but I wasn't going to turn down the dial I had been looking for so badly for the last few month, so I took it in a flash.
I literally parted out 3 watches to build this one and probably over paid a little for some parts, but what the hell, I'm far far away of the $20K the gen thing costs.
So let's go to details and pitures
Recipe:
- Gen 36B T dial
