spboudart 0 Posted October 4, 2009 I received the 2 watches last week but didn't get time to write up a little thing on them. First: The PAM 082 from Hont! The watch isn't perfect and need some tiny mods: The crown guard and crown are definetly off, The strap quality isn't too bad but the color is way off, but most of us don't even consider this as a mod because standard rep strap are usually so bad! On the other hand the lume is totally inexisting! What's nice is: Hont price 220$ (Sold everywhere else at 268), The tall canon pin, The G serie movement (useless in a close caseback but I need it in a 111G project), The engraved number on the back of the case, The 'Amerigo Vespucci' engraving, The way the dial change color as you can see on the pics from almost black to light blue. Second: A sterile Pvd MM137 from Jacksontse Really nice watch for a project I have! The watch has sapphire glass back and front and a nice asian 6497 with swan neck that I'm going to use in the above Pam 082. The band is standard rep band. I'll post pics of my project when finished.

I'm going to bang on one of Franciscos 'Panerai' decals and I've got an Asian swan-neck for peanuts. Nice pick ups by the way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spboudart 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Looks great! Good work! It was a test for a the black lume! I read somewhere to mix the glow powder with some pencil dust. It glows but need a lot of light and the glow is less brighter that standard rep lume! I used V10 10-20µm glowInc at 50% in the mix! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
