Hello zongaman,
It has been interesting to see your progress in design and machining.
However in your original post on July 25th you stated: "I'm going to make an aluminum cased 44mm to Panerai specs and do it black anodized." This of course raised a red flag. Although your stated intent was to make your own personal watch on July 30th you wrote this: "I have plans to make 10 if it makes a hit " and " I only mentioned the 10pcs because people always ask if I will make more" which is very close to shilling as these will be for sale. 2nd red flag.
I'm sure your intentions were not to shill or cause problems but understand we have the difficult position of determining intent. As our General Manager has stated, we've had problems with others shilling under the guise of "In the Interest of Horolgy" when in fact they were really just trying to self promote. Our GM also has provided you guidance within our forums via PM so please follow his recommendations.
Our new rule is in place so please adhere to the Guidelines, new and old. Any further questions or comments, take it off line and please PM our GM or staff. End of discussion.

I think you may be misguided in the intent of my post that caused the new rule. I challenge you to tell me what model I'm homeaging. I see your point earlier about replicating a watch. That should be enforced. Hey, until you can make a watch, opinions, op...

Nada mas, por favor. I use this forum to engage in conversation with other Panerai enthusiasts And yes, I want to hear their opinions, opinions, and more opinions. And I love the pix, too (genuine Pannies, of course) -- especially the pix!! D
I do too

I'm just being the bad boy and going outside the curve. I hit the wall with the moderators and that has consequences. Nevertheless, I've been given the Ok to post as long as it's a full fabrication and of my design. Hey, I've had my share of Panerai piece...

You wouldn't have to change the rules all along your posts and replies, what you actually did. An Hommage watch you will make only for your use, but in 10 pieces if people like it? Are you kidding? I don't like your game, nor I like Hommages. To me, this ...
Too far and offesnsive

I don't appreciate the "your game" comment. You beat up on me when I first posted so I took your advice and changed my design. I'm going to say it one last time, I am not selling the watch, PERIOD! It's my design and I'm using Panerai, a watch I appreciat...
