47mm vintage watch

I am able to make the 47mm fiddy case into a 6152 vintage watch too.

47mm Fiddy high polished case
high plexiglass
brushed CG
vintage black dial with "Marina militare"logo hand painted
gold vinatage lumed hands
swiss unitas 6497 movt
solid case back

45MM radiomir Casing

Some people may think that 47mm casing is a bit too big for them.

45mm Radiomir casing is a very good altenative.

This is a 45mm polised steel case
sapphire with AR coating
sandwich sub secnod dial with c1 superlumed
swiss 6497-1 non decorated movt






pvd casing with c1 lumed dial





Plexiglass with cali dial can turn the watch as a 1938a model

The 2nd Generation RXW watches

Why making these Panny hommage watches?

Gen Panny watches are getting very pricey to own.

Rep Panny watches are getting very popular too.But still some people do not like wearing rep watches.They prefer soemthing look similar to the Gen .

Thus there is a market demand for panny homage watches.Most panny homage watches listed in the E bay are not very good quality.

Glass is not sappire,water getting in easily and dials do not have lume power at all.Prices of these e bay wathes look very cheap.But after wearing it a few times,you will loseinterst in wearing them again.


On the other hand,there was a very good panny hommage watch.This is best known as the MM20 made by Japan Ken Trading. They used a 47mm 1950 steel case dome sapphire with Ar coating ,superleuemd dial and hands plus a Swiss unitas 6497 movt.
This watch is very well made and the finishing quality is excellent.

Below is a gen RXW watch



However,I was a bit disappointed to notice that there is a RECESSED cannon pin issue on this model.

Inital price offered by the Ken Trading was around us$600 but since they stopped making this model as a result of the law suit, 2nd hand price soared up to us$ 2,000 a piece.

Using a 47mm 1950 casing ,gold hands and sapphire ,RXW style dial and using a gen swiss made
unitas 6497 movt.

I have come up with a 2nd generation RXW watch.







Furthermore,I make differnt add on mods on this models too.

Destro with a see through case back





I could make these dials with vintage lume with matching hands too
PVD version is also possible too

44mm watch with other movts

Apart from using the unitas 6497-1 movt,I am using other movt too such as Eta 2836 and 2842 auto movts .

Eta 2836 movt with date at 3,sterlied dial,solid case back



Eta 2842 auto movt/sterlised dial/3 hands no date/solid case back


Also asian made 7750 auto movt with sund dial at 9 is available too.
