Hi All,

I've recently fallen for the Californian dials on the 45mm Radiomir case.

From reading around what is available, my options seem to be a 249, 349 or 376, however, none of them quite tick all my boxes!

This has lead me to think I might need to build a Homage, or abomination, depending where you stand!

My shopping list is as follows:

  1. 45mm Radiomir case in either brushed stainless, titanium or bronze
  2. Californian dial with no sub-dial
  3. Blue hands
  4. Display back
  5. Decorated (preferably with Panerai markings) 6497
Does anyone know where I can go to either buy the parts or the watch complete? I've tried Getat but haven't had a response...

All suggestions appreciated.

Alex

simple and easy route..

1. buy this
http://jacksontse.com/new/product-page.php?product_id=118

2. buy an asian6497 with pam engravings from any of the TD's
3. buy a set of blue pencil hands
4. buy a sick ass strap

*** #2 and #3 can be bundled together from river (the TD)
5. enjoy.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out when I get home as the page won't open at work!

I'm quite tempted by this:

Is it horrible?
