PAM231 Gold Radiomir with Gold ETA mechanism

[Tommy Tom]

To celebrate the first few days of summer I thought I'd take some outdoor shots of my new favourite dress watch - It's now totally finished. These are my first ever watch pictures -It's not as easy as it looks is it!

It's got a Davidsen Cannon Pin fix and Davidsen Superlumed dial and handset and a lovely Bob strap in Dark Alligator. But the best mod of all...

I was lucky enough to find a newly serviced Gold coloured Bulova Swiss Unitas 6497 on Ebay a year or so ago and put it into the watch. I think it's brass but i'm not sure. I haven't seen anything like it on Ebay since then and I look all the time. I think these are pretty rare things.

I really like the all Gold effect. I'd be grateful for your enlightened opinion as to whether it works or not - it's difficult to judge when you've been looking at it for so long.

That is a great looking movement really compliments the watch. Lume shot looks awesome!

Thanks for the reply. I'm really pleased with the way it came out - I think Panerai should have done the same to be honest - it just doesn't look right in my opinion with a Gold case and caseback, but a silver mechanism. For $15,000 you'd think they might make the colour universal.

very nice...gold case with gold tone movement makes sense especially with clear caseback. Thanks for showing.

That's fantastic Tom, wear it well!

Wow - what a team, Panerai and Bulova, this kinda reminds me of old Panerai-Rolex relationship from late 30-es.

Awesome result! Keeper for sure :wink:

I really like the gold Radiomir, but I have to agree the gold movement makes this watch. That is beautiful.

It's Ironic that you should say that as I've come to the conclusion that no matter howhard I try, I just can't carry a gold watch off. It just doesn't suit my style. As they say the watch wears me and not the other way around. I thinks it's just going to be admired in my watch box so I'm going to sell it and build something special I can wear.

Thanks for the comments though guys - it's always good to get my fellow peers opinions.
