Well, my Italian is not the best but I'm pretty sure "tuttonero" means "all black"

Just look at that beautiful gen P.9001/B movement. That is what I called "all black"

Unfortunately our 438 reps comes with a stock st2555 or 7750 movement and just a black deco plate on top.
The black deco plate is not to bad but underneath you can still see parts of the silver movement

Not very "all black" in my opinion.

So let's take some black paint and a bit of time to do this:

And here is the result, still not ALL black but much more black than a stock "tuttonero"

The only mistake I have made is using a glossy paint. A mat paint would be much better.

But under normal light is this mistake not really visible

Hi Chris

I always saw something weird in the rep movement of Tuttonero
And now I know the reason !

This is a very nice catch and an easy solution. Really brilliant

Thanks for sharing and explaining so nicely the system

Please @kilowattore add this thread in your Tutorials Summary

Tuttonero owners .... go ahead !

"Like" for you

BTW: I have seen your new banner matching your avatar. Nice!
