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.

Wow William, this is a serious and unique piece you have there!!!  Great project...You need real man wrist to wear that :shock:.  A friend of mine just bought a NOS 1979, original Russian diver which has 62mm case plus 15mm for the canteen crown.  Well it looked like a freezbie on my wrist but the 60mm looks good on yours!:D... I think I'll be nice with you sir subtlelaugh.gif Big congrats for a big homage!!! watch2.gif

Thanks to you all! I must say that the size is on the limit of what I would wear. I'm not looking forward to got a pizza on my wrist:D
And I achieved a huge victory by having Jeff jalous! Because his collection holds me awake at night
