Hey guys - whats up with the "toilet humour! haha! Hike - I LOVE your avatars and sigs man!

Dont listen to R - hes cccaaarrraaaaaazzzyyyyy! But we dont tell him! There are plenty of great watches out there: Modded/franken SA Modded V1 HBB IWC AT (or any other franken IWC) Franken UPO One of a kind vintage PAM? So many! Just go nuts.....and enjoy!

I LOVE Anonimos! Wish theyd rep more models (like the Professionales).......Congrats on a great pick up!

I really like your lume dot on the bezel buddy......

Sharing is great! The more the merrier....... Great looking sub! Hey Eton, not sure whether youre referring to me or "goin" but thanks either way mate!

Its got the best of everything!! Really beautiful. Thanks for sharing, enjoy!!

I think it has.....bezel brushed and dots polished....

WOW! Looks like a whole new watch now. Much better in DLC......

Hey TST, thanks for your comments (totally heeded after seeing your collection of PAM's - great 243 too, im looking for a nice strap for mine too)! WRT "1." the bezel dots: do they actually come off? Well if you say they fall out then I assume they do! How do you take them out (if I wanted to polish them further? Im not sure about shaving them though.....dont think I have the right tools..... But yeah, the bezel does need tightening - so that has to be done! Other than that its a "fully modded" watch with a serviced movement, CG mods, etc etc etc So yeah, you know your stuff! Thanks mate. Yes it does

Hey TST, these vintage watches are soooooooo gorgeous, but I dont get projects like these? Have these watches (at some point in the past) actually been created? Or are these watches that watch lovers create to their own personal taste? 1st and 3rd are my favourite........

Got this today........

.......a few more pics....... Thanks

Hi guys..... Hope everyones very well. Have always wanted a Panerai Submersible......so I picked this bad boy up in the trade area Not sure whether there have been any in-depth comparisons (gen v rep), but as far as I can tell (from looking at photos on the net) the biggest flaws are: (1) The bezel. The dots are bigger on the rep bezel (and sometimes not flush on one edge as should be). Ofcourse, the lume dot too. Looks smaller on the gen with a thicker "lip". (2) I think the "He" valve on the side of the case is slightly bigger on the rep too. (3) Lug profile shape - they seem to curve slightly downwards at the tip (on the gen). However all in all its a fantastic looking watch, great wrist presence, looks the business, quite hefty! Now for a few pics....(we are only allowed 20 in a single post right?).....What do you guys think? Thanks for looking. Rgds OS

Awesome collection TST! Im loving the "002" on the vintage........

Congrats Eunomians. The Survivor dwarfs the EoD's! Its really growing on me, I just wish theyd not made the crown protector thingies the way they did (and maybe designed screw in type protectors maybe) then Id definitely get one. Awesome non-the less!

Thats a beauty of a watch right there TST! Is the dial meant to be blue or purple though? Either way, its a looker. Wear it well

I HATE YOU GUYYYYYSSS!!!!! I really want a 187 now..........

You just got married??? Heres wishing you the best for the future. The wedding looks like it was tons of fun!!

Very beautiful and classy. Great pics too.

Hey TK, great timing with the post I love the 243. Yours has got the best parts available Looks like a stunner. Its true, pics really dont do some watches the justice the deserve. ENjoy yours in great health.

Many happy returns dluddy! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Very nice comparison Cougar! Im definitely a braceletaholic and believe most 'lings belong on one. I bought a gen pro II for my SA (but never had the chance to get the feel of the rep).....it does look like good "bang for the buck" though........

Man what a story! Ive got tears in my eyes HUGE congrats on the wedding, good things happen to good people. Wonderful gesture from Giorgio and Federico. All the best.

Beautiful photos everyone. Pugwash that sunset over the field is stunning! Heres a sunset I took a couple of days ago from my flat window - the colours were amazing!!!! I took three photos and "stitched" them together to make a panorama using PS elements - my first time trying this....... For some reason I cant get a bigger version of the file up!

Definitely photos that capture emotion! Love them thanks for sharing the link PS .
