Best Panerai Homage? (Part 2)

[Y4BBZY]

Wow, that's a heck of a list! Would love to see a family portrait.

Have you ever come across a 359 homage? I love that look.

Will take a pic when everything comes in but afraid some have the MM dials so I'll try to blur them out. Don't think there is are any 359 homages as of right now. PM if you have any questions regarding any PAMs.

Thanks. I think I've found something close -- but it's not quite what I want. I want to do up a sterile dial with numerals in super luminova orange, but for a manual wind, not an automatic (so I can put a legit Unitas in it). Daji has an orange version of the dial and Jackson has one in green (I'd have either relumed with SL), but those are both for automatic movements and have a date window. Hm. Might have to find someone to make it for me...

God... this thread is intoxicating... I went into a trance reading it sometime yesterday afternoon, and just now I woke up to find receipts from Getat and ........... in my inbox!

Incredible, same here. Spent an innocent Sunday afternoon reading this thread a few weeks ago; watches have begun appearing mysteriously ever since.

Jackson does have a similar one, but over on another forum there is a member who custom makes dials. A few of us asked him about designing/making a dial based on the 359, but made for a 6497 movement. It wouldn't have a date window, and may or may not have sub-seconds (TBD). He's super busy these days so I'm not sure how long it will be for him to make it, but I'll be sure to post if I have an update.

Hello All,

Just another reminder to go along with the forum sticky, please DO NOT POST photos with the M.... M.... brand name on the dial. Photoshop it to remove the MM brand name, or don't post it. Along with no posts of MM branded dials in photos, WatchUSeek will not allow sales of MM branded homages through the sales forums:

MM is a copyright owned by Richemont/Panerai and cannot be used on non-Richemont/Panerai watches.

Thank you for your cooperation, we appreciate it.

Can anyone comment on the differences in straps between Jackson and Getat? I've got a getat and love the strap but have been looking at some of Jacksons watches lately his prices are better but are his straps on par with getats?

Getat's strap IMO are better than Jackson's thick strap. But then again Getat I believe are of great value that comes with the watch but comes with a higher price tag, you also have to factor in that Tat does not include shipping. Jackson's thick straps are not bad but not as good as Getats but for the extra $5, beats out the standard strap that goes with Jackson's watches. Can't comment on lume on Jackson's superlume vs Getat's superlume but everything else seems on part with both sellers. Hope that helps.

Thanks WUS member .....blueradish

I have to give Jason props for making my Mini Fiddy Stealth homage. His work,price,and communication is excellent! If you are looking for a custom piece, he is the man to talk too!

That's a really slick piece! I am definitely doing one of these. Is that black lume (does such a thing even exist)?

[Darkhorse]

No Lume, I ordered the watch that way. I have heard of black lume.
