How it was done<\/strong>
The threaded Stem Tube was soldered to the case and cleaned (many authentic cases were soldered as the stem-tube threads would leak under pressure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Below:<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure all your parts clean before soldering. Once you have screwed the stem tube into the case heat the area up and run a little solder around the threads or between Case and Stem Tube. Make sure you use the best quality flux you can find it makes soldering so much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Below:<\/strong>\u00a0Clean the excess solder and try to make it look like its part of the case (its better not to have too much solder).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Below:<\/strong> After cleaning the Stem Tube is aged in a little acid (you can also do this by placing the case in a bag with a \u201cboiled egg\u201d it will age the brass or bronze (yes it works!)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plexi:<\/strong> The Plexi was sealed using a rubberized adhesive (I am told authentic Vintage Panerai\u2019s used a glue to seal and didn\u2019t use an o\u2019ring)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case Back:<\/strong>\u00a0Case Back is sealed with an o\u2019ring
The Crown applies a good amount of pressure to the Crown O\u2019ring (important at depth)
There is no Two Piece Bezel with this case so there is nothing else to seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
