Just in the door today and straight onto wrist!

This is a homage recreation of the 1982 panerai mille metri- afaik only 4 prototypes made and no watches ever made it into production.

Here are the specs of mine:

esdee mm case set and pad printed sterile dial, steel case bead blasted (WR 60atm tested - designed for 1000m)
rubber strap notched to fit 21mm lugs (sourcing prev 20mm screw-in buckle atm)
pad-printed sterile dial relumed by dow, hands stock 2824-2
eta 2824-2 movement with h5 sourced and installed by andy schuhren (entire assembled by andy)

I need to wear this and see where wear would have occurred to case- then cape cod for a while locally ....

Cant take my eyes off this. So many times one purchases watches or assembles parts to be ultimately slightly disappointed. Not with this one.....
