Titanium watch project

[babola]

David,
few suggestions, if I may...

- the shade of a 082 dial should be a bit more 'vibrant' blue, similar to the gen

- Marina Militare at the top and Luminor Panerai dial text at the bottom is not the same font and style on your drawings, on both 036 and 082. Marina Militare letters should preferably be just a tad wider, to match the Luminor Panerai text on the bottom, which is close to perfect, especialy horizontal bar on "A".

- on 055 brown dial, the text should be slightly wider, both Luminor at the top, and Panerai at the bottom. You will notice that if you for example compare the position of letter "P" and letter "I" in Panerai, relative to 5 and 7 o'clock bar hour indices on the gen.

That's all for now, keep 'em coming mate !!!
regards,
babola

PAM 036 dial was made in Tritium, but it wasn't heavily varnished, so it doesn't really get as dark as the Pre-Vs, the lume is generally a bit darker than the hands - (sort of like the Pre-Vs ...)

Most of the 36 REPS now look green, avoid that green look and it's fine I'd say. That 'vintage' colour you use would probably suit best, it may be a bit darker, but will look better than that mint green effect you get with C3 rep dials

Dial face colours look great, the browns look Tobacco vs the "over the top" brown of the current REP 036 The PAM082's blue is NOT like the newer blue dials it's more matte and darker. I think you have it spot on, the satin finish makes it unique as well. The PAM 082 is very one-of-a-kind even for PANERAI

enzo, remember when we were talking about this 082 in another thread? i was aking for somebody to make this watch?

if he makes this i will buy it. lol i think it is very cool and i hope he gets it right because i want it, i will be keeping my fingers crossed and waiting. 8)

I remember that the real 036 doesn't come with AR coated crystal. Correct me if I am wrong.

These are amazing. I can't wait to see the finished versions. I think I'm going to have to go with the 55.

The prod spec page on panerai.com (special editions->PAM036MM) says it does...but than again who can be sure anymore, even with gen Panerais 8)

cheers,

I'll just say one thing - please make sure the crown has only a slight bevel angle like Palps so that it looks more gen! Too steep an angle, no matter how thick it is, makes it look thin...

177h best!

LOL! I know, they argue about this on gen Panerai sites all the time. :lol:

 

[MET-Rx]

Whatever one that looks closest to mine! lol


Enzo, I couldn't find anymore info about the white dialed 55. Have you found out anything about it besides the gen pic?

 

[MET-Rx]

Yea a white dialed 055 being rare is an understatement!

Even those I've checked with in die hard gen circles and are supposedly "all knowing", didn't have a clue about this one. You got them beat.

I like the look of the white dial contrasting with the Ti case. There sure will be a sudden resurgence of them after DSN gets done with this project. :lol:

I've seen a few different pics of the brown 055 w/ L dials. They seem to be abundant respectively.

Obviously at the time, consistency was not an issue!!!

It seems like back in the day they would spin the bottle of vino to see which color dial they wanted to install! :shock:

I think it was more like they drank a bottle of vino and forgot which dial to install, thus accidentally creating a new model! :lol:

 

[Anubis]

Consistency can be overrated. Lack of it creates uniqueness. Plus they're italian for gods's sake they cant make the same thing twice. everything is a little different from before. would you really want the same thing as 10,000 other ppl?

 

[ohmycocker]

Do u know why they change the 036 on panerai website to L Swiss L and no number on the back? It's their intention to mask it so the reps will replicate it wrongly!

Same as the 195 on the back case and 225 dial...

I believe 036 photo on panerai.com site shows the prototype. I have seen so far pics of 3 genuine 036 gens on paneristi.com - all have T Swiss T dial, implying the lume material being Tritium.

036 comes with serial and case numbers engraved on three corners of the case close to lugs, and not on the caseback like most other Ti PAMs.

the nice thing is that with DSN you can order the dial with the case;
SS, PVD or TI ... very Pre-V Panerai-like!

I think the White Dial in a TI case that is oxidised
to look PVD is what I have pictured in my mind ...

(The Brown Dial PAM055 are common enough to make
them a good choice at Used GEN purchase, even)

i think everybody is aware that i am very parshal to my 113. i won't have any problem adding a white base dial in a titanium case to my collection . lol 8)

Thank you for all your feed backs.

I have re made dial fonts layout on pam 082 and 036. as follows.
Pls note that color of dial not 100% correct as real dials.these layout is for
your reference of font layout and spacing.


o82 dial coor will be darker than pic.
lume is c3.

036 dial will be a more darker brown dial
lume color will be changed to vintage yellow lum

Pls note that the white border around the hour index indicate that all these aeras will be engraved before
putting the lume pigment on the dial surface.

Hope yuo ike the dial font better this time.

thank you

David, you ROCK!!! I am still not sure on the lume colour of 082. There's a possibility it's C1 (from the picture alone).

i thought that also but i talked to enzo about this and he said they use c3 on all of these. i questioned this on the new 195/005 dial because of all the pictures but he assured me they all had c3 on them.

 

[takashi]

Sure then. I trust him

 

[hk45ca]

Sure then. I trust him

thats what i said and then i contacted davidsen about a c3 dial for my 195. lol

if you shoot your pictures before the lume has time to become charged it will look white but if you take very long it starts turning green very fast.
