a question enzo :)

why would the dial age and not the hands ?
was it not lumed and varnished in the gen? the white hands are "jolting " compared with the dial :) the dial looks absolutely fabulous :) thats the watch i want :)

Hey Enzo. As always you make me jealous with your creations.

Where did you get that buckle on the strap. Is it sewn in or is it a springbar?

Enzo, please don't take this the wrong way, but I thing the aging is a bit over the top. I've never seen a PAM age this badly... for example, usually the lume ages very evenly, like in the pic below... yours looks like it sat with no crystal out in the elements for a long time... why not age it in a more subtle way??

Actualy I have seen dials that are way worse then the aging on these ones. Enzo has done gentle ageing and harder aging. Don't look at one version and think that is all he has attempted - he has sone many.

The work being done on the numbers is awesome.

The next one that enzo does for me will be more aged perhaps like this one here.

@enzo, first of all I have to say salute to your work. It must be a lot of research and testing.

My question is on the technique of applying the varnish. How can u apply the varnish on selective areas such as the tip of the number 1 is brown but the rest is yellow. I was thinking that you apply different shades of varnish at different times to produce such an effect. Is that the case?

I have seen dials like this on two gens. After u reminded us about radium, I thought I was lucky enough not to ask the shopkeeper to take those 2 gen out for me to put it on my hand...but they r nice

Very nice ENZO. I really like the ageing process. Goes rather well with the strap too. I personally think it looks like a watch that has been used and not coddled.....just the way I like them. This watch was intended to be used and NOT stuffed into a drawer. Congrates on a well worn relic that looks like something that may have been a family heirloom and passed down from a grandfather or a treasure found in a secondhand shop.

Hey enzo, I am awake now - must be your bed time.

Here is a photo of two "projects" some well respected Paneristi have put together. They are modified reps. I am stunned how this is cool with them but other reps are no good.

that work is looking quite fabulous . and yes the hands do look more subdued :)
i know hands get replaced with contrasty ones but thats not the look i desire . i love your work and when you are ready to do work for me put me on your list:)im getting a watch like CJs and would love some ageing but not extreme :). love your work:)
