Hi, I was just wondering if we can opt to switch our Panerai's marker to a gold one...

I currently have a 312 and I would love to switch the hour, minute and second markers (or needles) into a gold one, they're silver at the moment...

Anyone have an idea about doing it or the cost and where?

I live in Asia, Indonesia specifically - I heard Singapore can get it done, but I tried calling and they haven't gotten back to me with a clear answer just yet...

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Are you talking about the lume color?

There are no raised indicies (markers as you called them) on a 312. It is a sandwhich dial.

If you are talking about reluming, I thinki it would be a big mistake. That is an in-house movement. If you went to service it they'd have to replace the dial on service.

My bad, I didn't mean reluming it.. What I meant was changing the original silver coloured seconds, minutes, and hour hands, into a gold coloured seconds, minutes and hour hands.

the golden coloured hands where usually found in really expensive models..

Personally, I would leave the watch as is and let its natural beauty shine

Shade,

I think the gold markers give it some bling - but not overly so.

Would be prety cool looking...

Oh, I'm all for gold hands. Not sure if you can get ones that fit the in-house movement. It would be reversable and it is your watch. Other option is a 351. Not that much more and it comes with gold hands, ti case, brown dial.

Yeah but titanium on a watch is kind of meh

Buy a 351 instead of messing with it

I personally prefer black dial with gold hands rather than the brown dial with gold hands..
