silly question

[azdakota]

Has anyone here owned a rep. Panerai to where the dial starts to patina like the gen. , or is the lume and dial different so it won't.

You'd have to keep the rep 30+ years to find out.

The only reason those dials had patina was because of the tritium and radium in them. Current lume won't do that

Level, I think azda means if there is some PAM rep which has directly a coloured patina lume like a gen with real time patina. Isn't it??

If it is your idea, consult tha PAM REVIEW-GUIDE where you can see the watches with patina coloured lume.

There are plenty of fellas that can add fauxtina if you like

Are you building a vintage or prev?

There is a lot of after market stuff but nothing direct from our dealers

 

[azdakota]

No not building anything just what comes on the rep's now , bt could you have it relumed with tritinum .Thanks for your answers.

You can't relume with tritium. It's a radioactive substance, thus controlled fairly strictly. Even in the off(and I mean extremely off) chance that you find some, no one will do the work. You can still find tritium lume on watches today(Luminox etc) in the form of gas filled glass capsules.

Why no one really wants to touch the stuff

But even the old 3646's are radioactive
