Cool band. Where is that from?

It should be a Velcro from HKTan, a dealer onboard. Have a look in our dealer section... :wink:

I couldn't see it at HKTan. It's a great looking strap....anyone have any ideas.

All the best,
Mish

So, anybody got an idea where the case is from?
DSN or standard rep case, Pam061 for example...?

Cheers

Standard old-school Ti rep case, Palpatine S/S beadblasted crown, to make it look more like Ti.

What`s an old-school Ti rep case, is it still available?
Kind of "Ruby"-036 or Josh`s 061 maybe...
Ruby-style case only accepts thin dials without modding...
What makes me think is the closed Ti case back, I only saw it on 061 rep cases...

Nope, it's not an 036 case, as it's missing the engravings on the back of the case. I believe this is the previous generation "standard" Ti case used for any Ti Luminor. Not available anymore unless a dealer has an old watch lying about somewhere in a drawer. :wink:

I like how it looks. Is the lume on the numbers supposed to be yellowish? It doesn't match the color of the lume on the hands. Is this realistic?

Yes, and yes. Tritium turns a light beige/yellow color when it ages. If you look at examples of gen PAMs with T dials, very often the tritium on the dials is darker than on the hands. I think it has to do with a varnish or sealer that is applied to the dial after the lume is applied.

Yup, true for pre-V Panerais like 5218-201, 202, 203A etc since the dial on those was coated with a thin layer of varnish. Some Pre-A, and all A and B series don't come with varnish on their dials, so the aged color of Tritium on both dial and hands should be approx the same. Submersibles, Power Reserve and 001-009 Pams in series A and B show that equaly aged color very well.
