Introduction

Hi all.

I wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I’ve been a member for a while but never had any input until now.

I have been working with watches for a very long time. Servicing, repairs and also custom builds.

I built my first Panerai many years ago and of course flipped it after a year or so only to spend many years regretting doing so.

During lockdown I decided to build myself another one. I am now the proud owner of a 6154 with a chocolatey browned creamy lume RP dial, powered by a Cortebert 618. I have no doubt that I will continue to change aesthetics. I decided to go for and aged look that was still freshed on this dial. More than anything it was experimentation to paint types and application methods as well as necessary modifications to mesh cases with dials and movements.

I would like to offer my assistance to the forum in any way I can, whether it be in servicing, repairing, sourcing parts, builds, luming or dial painting. I am also on the way to start making and selling custom builds in the near future.

I am UK based and this is how I tell the time…
