This thread has taken forever to put together, so I hope it can help the community. Hoping some will now see the PAM390 as more verstile, others will see how a strap change can totally change the look of a watch. Please post your favorite strap pic for this watch out of the 19 pictured if you liked this thread. Or if you like more than one, list a few please. Hate them all or a handful, go ahead and share, I would be offended. I tried to take similar pictures, backgrounds, effects, etc... so the straps could be judged equally vs. picking different backgrounds or shots for each strap. Also tried to point out visually some unique characteristics of some of the straps and buckles I selected for this pictoral. Many photos, as I included a few per strap until I got lazy at the end. Here is my top 18 for this watch, really not in any particular order. No black straps pictured, when I want to wear a black strap or bracelet, I wear a different brand. I prefer all of my Pams with a shade of brown strap. As I get more straps in, I may update this thread. #1: OEM Asso New (brand new, one of the lighter OEM shadings I have seen) #2 OEM Asso Used (aged like a fine fine, one of the darker OEM shadings I have seen) #3 Kevin Ammo (this guy invented the Ammo strap) with Piotr Coin Buckle check out the detail on the buckle: #4 ABP Paris Special Tanning Croc this one fits like a glove, so much so I added a wrist shot, the only one in this thread: #5 Simona Musuem Exhibit Tobacco this one really changes in the light from dark brown to eggplant ; I think a great match for the tobacco dial #6 OEM Black JV (very rare) this strap is called Black, but it actually Grey in color #7 Greg Stevens Crazy Horse #1 (unfortunately no longer available, last made in 2007) Have purchased the #2 and #3 and they really don't compare to the original unfortunately So you may have noticed the cool buckle on this one, it is a Ray lum steel buckle, why Lum steel well... #8 Landa Raw Denim really cool suede texture on the tip and keeper: Speaking of Suede: #9 Rwolf Suede Strap (can't recall the maker, it is an Italian strap maker that Rwolf is friend's with, so I will call it RWolf) It is all suede this one has a cool Simona Brown PVD buckle: #10 Simona Xmas Divers really love the charcoal edges on this one #11 Simona Small Scale Croc #12 Simona Vintage Green #13 Simona Allegrini Divers Mark II #14 Simona Musuem Exhibit Tobacco - with custom ecru stitch sorry only 1 pic of this one and it doesn't match the others (I sold this one cause I kept the other Tobacco Musuem Strap further up the list) #15 Simona Michaelangelo Another really cool Piotr coin buckle on this one. #16 Bronzy Blonde Strap #17 Cobra unknown maker, this is a genuine cobra and a a nice strap, not my style though so it only gets 1 pic #18 Rios Vintage Handmadge

A Rolex Daytona 6263-6265 declinaison 100% built by myself Long time I didn't post, I am really busy and screwed with buildings ad creations till 6 months This watch was built using only stock parts, It has been made as a versatile watch with many combinaison possibilities : regular bracelet, jubilee, steel bezel or regular bakelite or even a leater strap, no limit. Reworked DW case, chrono pushers and crown. Only mixed stock parts from various aftermarket suppliers. No gen parts, its possible to build a watch looking like a gen using only rep parts Movement : Hand winding A7750/21600bph with the sec. at 9 and 3-6-9 compax bridge, serviced and tweaked, keep a -7 sec/24H. I dont touch more, for me its good enough for a messy Chinese chrono movement. Perfect aligned subdial hands, perfect flawless ans smooth chrono fonctions with perfect hands alignement at zero when reset. Everything work perfect like the gen, no frozen hands, I didn't desactive the hack, this is usefull for these using the chrono fonctions. Gen owners would be happy to have a hack fonction on their V72. The watch is waterproofed, greased inside chrono pusher devices, greased tube and crown insides, sealed plexi and greased case back gasket The dial is relumed with matching hands and has a slight patina surface with slight yellowed subdials. Matching hands. Sternkreutz rounded plexi, give a domed design, this is correct according books showing this design in the seventies Full engraved case and caseback, slim case back for removed rotor, the regular bracelet is referenced 78350-19 and end links are 571. The jubilee 19mm comes from a Tudor watch, it is non engraved, I have installed a complete Rolex clasp, endlinks are 455B. enough blabla, enjoy photos Sorry for the dust on the plexi hope you liked,

Absolutely none sense. The osicilation pinion can't be engaged when the chrono cam is in reset mode. Therefor resetting does not influence it any way. The movement is reliable except for the extra aded second transfer gears (to transfer the seconds from 9 to 12). There are some tricks to make this modification reliable though.

well obviously everyone is looking for watches but...... http://www.rwg.cc/topic/151912-christmas-comes-early-at-bergies/ Ken
