I didn''t quite get it:

Was this a new remake of an older watch, or was it an old fixerupper?




Les bra igjen min forklaring;)

This a new cheap remake or homage: As I said ,the original was made in the 50's at only 50 pieces or less(year 1956 as I found out). Those original models who survived time(nearly unfoundables) sell certainly in private auctions at extremely high prices.
Panerai remade a modern serial of 300 pieces in titanium. Them version is at suggested retail 25/30 000$.
Like most of you, I don't got 30000$+taxes to put in a watch... So I went for the cheap custom homage.
If you want an homage like that, look on the net please. Some guys make it with swiss mvt some with chinese mvt. I personnaly just bought the case+dial from HK and will not come with further informations on the forum as it was a private transaction. Thanks.
