Just finished a custom build for a fellow member I like to call it Black Ops. Its a PAM 375N with one of my modded All Asian OPXI movements, it looks very unique. And although Panerai never used this movement on the 375 it could be that a Panerai fan could have consigned Panerai to build them this, a little mix of old and new. Here are some pictures..







Here is my All Asian modded movement with the ETA markings..






Thanks for looking......:cheers:

That movement is so spot on Marlin I don't know how anyone could tell the difference. Really impressive.

Marlin, this is a nice watch and a wonderful mod.

Incabloc and Swan Neck shape are very well made.
It seems the straight zone of the Noob Swan Neck spring is a little curved. Have you this time try to curve it a little like gen?

Yes, I put a slight bend on it tried to follow the curve of the bridge like we spoke about.

SN spring looks really good. Curve changes the appearance of Noob SN spring to better.
Congrats

- Next time a little more curved to get it parallel to the case

I can't say enough good things about Marlin's watch and movement modding. He is one of the most talented modders I've come across.

Congrats to the buidler and the buyer! May I ask, Marlin, did you buy the 1950 dial separately?If yes, can you reveal you source?:):) I've been planning to make couple of builds based on 1950 case and dial but can't find the branded dial other than jackson's MM...

The dial was already in the watch, original watch was the cartel 375N. Nice composite case already, but the movement and the crystal that it came with were not nice quality.

That's the one. This one is the same one, bought from Li as well. It just looks black in the pictures, but it is definitely a dark, dark brown. Hard to photograph.
