Just got this back from Ziggy in yesterday's mail...
The watch is not a finished project yet... there was an issue with the alignment on the datewheel so lello is advance exchanging one for me and I will have to get it installed locally.... i also have the gen crown guard for this watch that is still in the blister packs from Panerai to be installed...
This watch was my grail and was purchased a few months ago on RWG... i sent it, along with a watchman cyclops (chieftang wasn't able to get his cyclops project done in time for it to be included), a gen SS crown, and the lello datewheel... it was also lumed while with ziggy...
This has been the culmination of a year of working on this... the project hit a severe detour when my wife accidentally tossed my container containing the parts for the project... in the end it was my fault and now all parts are safeguarded... lesson learned...
Back in September of last year, I was done with this hobby... I was getting out and beginning to sell off... I sold a Rolex box I had to chinkiechunkie, who happened to live 3 minutes away from me.... I started talking to him and he showed me his Ziggified 063... I had given up on my project and ever having it done.... when I saw that watch, I said to myself that I must complete it... and so I did...
I got myself more involved again in the hobby again and developing my knowledge of Panerai, my favorite brand.... Now, 7 months later, I have a almost completed Ziggified 2893-2 powered 063 in my hand and I'm on staff here at RWI.... I love all the communities and the preople it attracts... for the most part that is...
Well, enough about me... here's the watch...
