Hi Guys,

Does anyone know who can mod a Panerai 117h swiss rep movt which has a solid disc around around the base of the swan neck dagger the shock protection (novodiac) so that it look like the Asian & Genuine Pam movement, the asian has two straight grooves around the shock protection (incabloc)

See the pic below, a picture says a thousand words, any advise on a modder who I can send it to would be very much appreciated :D

This pic shows the mod that my swiss dagger swan needs

Here is a pic of the gen, clearly showing BOTH the dagger AND the groove

But then you still have the non-flared spokes on the balance wheel.

IMO, if you're going to be that picky about the physical appearance of the movement, you're better off going with the A6497. I doubt anyone will be willing to do the mod you're looking for...

My only comment would be that the "OFFICINE PANERAI" text on the movement is a much more obvious give away, so I wouldn't worry about it and just enjoy your watch as is.

Cheers Guys

In fairness, I just want to see if it can actually be done, I will try Vaccum.

Thanks Again
