Looks good. I have a gen, and it is a sausage dial (thought don't know if they are all like that). In any case, looks good. The lume blows the gen's lume!
flavor flav said:this is actually a good thing it has a sandwich dial as then you could do a filled indice lume and get a more accurate look than reluming a sausage dial. this is a great looking watchcongrats!
Excellent point, flav! Good to see you around, buddy.
thanks for all the good points. once the new one arrives, I will then find someone to relume it for me, fill the indices.

Yes, more details please - and are genuine 005 and 000 ones made with filled up indices or with the sausage dial? Its hard to see in the photos
mine is genuine 005i
they are not "sausage" they are filled indices. the lume is slightly lower than the dial face.

Yeah, for how long, I wonder
LOL!The dial indices config and the "new" way of filling the numeral and indices grooves with Luminova is sort of new for Panerai of Richemont-Vendome era.
I know for a fact G-series 005 dial wasn't done this way, it was done the same way as 111 E/F/G Series, with sausage (spagetti) dial, where you could see the little 'bump' in luminous paint, and a very small groove surounding the edge of numerals and indices.
The pics from FFlav show a change, IMO, change for better, and I like it, it reminds me very much on pre-V and pre-A Tritium dial historics, where the lume was applied on top of the painted bed, creating that sunken look. This slao can present a great challenge when trying to recreate 5218-20X/A series reps, as DSN can attest at this very moment - it's extremely hard to do it by hand!
Well, one thing seems certain - we can't call or refer to the current gen 000/005 historics as the ones with sausage dials, anymore ! :wink:
cheers,
babola.
