Best Panerai Homage? (Part 2)

[blueradish]

Wow, I love that "backlit" effect with the lume around the dial! Are you gonna post a tutorial on how to do that? Is that one of your many egi projects blue?

Tough to do a DIY with pix as the lume dries during the process, but basically it's a lumed backplate with a slightly smaller dial.

This is #1 of 5 EGI projects

Cool, and did you just sand a sterile dial down to the bare metal?

Yes, but in most cases the bare metal will be brass, however, to my wonderful surprise this one was steel.

I've always had a soft spot for Golana's, never heard anything bad. That one is nice PAM 6154 style case.
