Watch collector Ken Sato produced what was considered the best hommage to Italian WWII military watches. At some point, he got slapped on the fingers by Officine Panerai for copyright infringment. After several collections inspired by vintage Rolexes, Ken sato did build the Plasmir Milgraph, a watch enhanced with tritium vials and available at the PlasmirMilgraph.com website.
