(UPDATED)My new toy for future PAM builds arrived today...

My rotary Engraving/CNC just arrived today, I want to use it to do engraving on some custom PAM watches I have been cosigned to build and vintage builds I want to put together in the future. Not to mention possible engraving on main plates for my Asian builds. Now all I have to do is put the thing together, do some modifications and figure it out...

Here is the vise with a case back on it, just testing to see how they fit, still need a great deal of R&D to get this rolling.

Here it is with the main plate on it, need to get some plastic or rubber jigs to hold the main plates and cases in place.

Once I get this thing all wired up and running I'll post some more pictures of the results...I'm sure I'll have many sleepless nights ahead, should be interesting..

Hard core! Maybe you can do some OEM work for Panerai themselves as well. Where do you park this thing? Hopefully, in the bedroom.

Recently Panerai misspelled the word 'steel' on a few casebacks, spelling it 'steeel'. Please note that error--and don't do that!
