whooooeeee that looks great! Did you get my PM, Avitt? I'm curious to know what you charge for a case and paraphernalia (CG, Crown, etc.) in DLC to make up a homage 360.

I hoped this wouldn't be repped, but I knew it would.




:picard:



The dial looks pretty accurate, however.

Had the gen on my hand before and the caseback is still very wrong. The Firenze 1860 and OP logo is not engraved at all. Nice try at first attempt. Lume needs to be much darker also.

Am working on one also. May get dial and caseback from DSN anyway.

The CG comes with roller on the gen FYI.

From what I understand from you guys there are quite a few flaws, .. maybe DSN will correct this in a 2'nd attempt ...
Still like it though :)

I doubt it, the dial is the best part of this rep, unfortunately it would also be the easiest to fix. The caseback will never be fixed, IMO. DLC is also a no-go most likely, and the gen is DLC not normal PVD like the rep.

You could order this watch built in a normal SS case, then swap in a t48 or Palp crown and a LH or Toro Bravo CG, then have it all DLC coated, but that would be quickly approaching $800, even with the A6497 instead of Swiss.

But the caseback looks like it has been CNCed. So this should be fairly easy to fix?

But no other current PAM has the logo and the Officine Panerai 1860 printed, instead of engraved, like the 360.

That means DSN would have to have his supplier change the way they make casebacks for the 360, vs. just changing the shape/location/verbiage. That's not likely to happen, in my experience. Not with a flaw that "small", at any rate.
