Got my "new" 183!

Picked up a gently pre loved 183 from a strap maker that many in the community are familiar with. He had the gold hands done and that is really what made me snag this piece! I haven't been able to take it off of my wrist yet and is a great compliment to my 113. And of course like anyone with the addiction I have already started searching for the next one

Anyways hope you guys like it, I know I do

Is that a modified 183? For all I know 183 comes with black hour and minute hands and a white seconds hand..

Awesome mod if that's the case though!

Congrats, it's hard to beat the 183, they are just stunning and one of the most comfortable watches ever on the wrist.

I would love to find some gold hands for mine, looks amazing.

Yup, I know that watch and the previous owner. Love the gold hand addition. Congrats!

I like his work! Two of his examples.

So is it true that the hands are modded? If so - how do you mod it? For all I know Panerai doens't sell off their gold hands... is it third party or whatnot?

Thanks! :)
