Hello.I did manage to run some dental floss under the bezel and that seems to keep it tighter.The click isn't as pronounced when you rotate the bezel but i don't care about that Thanks for the advice.

It doesn't seem like you could fit anything in between the case and bezel.

How do you remove the bezel on a 194?Is it possible to tighten it up somehow?

Hello.What size dial fits a mini fiddy case.The dials for 44 mm case are to small.Thanks.

Hello everyone.I would like to know if you can put a rep bracelet on the mini fiddy case?Has anyone done this?Thanks.

I think it is almost impossible.The rep and gen bezels are cut different on the underside.The gen bezel will not tighten down at all.At least that is my experience.

I tried the bezel swap on a SA that was said to be 100% interchangeable with gen parts and it doesn't work.Probably ruined a perfectly awesome rep.The way the underside is machined is different on the two bezels.

The little blue officine panerai stickers.

Where can you get movement stickers for a 111,or is it even worth the effort?Thanks.

Matz,

that is very very difficult. Getting spare parts is nearly impossible. Also a lot of work for Andrew to get. The factories don''t sell these parts, but will repair if they receive the watch. Best is to ship the watch back to him so that the factory can repair it.

good luck.

If it is a 28,800 high beat 7750 you can buy the part from cousins.Just go to the branded watch parts section and go to "valjoux".Enter "7750" and "balance assembly".All the available parts for the 7750 should pop up.

I have a pam 194 that is awesome exept the rotor rattles.I'm not talking about the "wobble",it just rattles.I tried to tighten the screw that holds the rotor but that didn't help.It actually seems to be coming from the bearing.Is there anyway to replace this bearing or replace the rotor?It spins fine and keeps perfect time otherwise.

i'm wanting to start making some straps and i'm wondering what is the best adhesive to use?i made one strap and used rubber cement to stick the layers together.worked o.k. but i know there is something better.any suggestions?thanks.

doc,

If you are using protein supplements and creatine, let me make one thing EXTREMELY clear. You must have a physical exam with urine and blood test after 3 or 4 months, to make sure you are not causing damage to your kidneys. EVERY serious competitive weight lifter or bodybuilder knows this, but many amateurs do not. About 1 week BEFORE having the physical, discontinue any creatine supplements, as these will throw off the results and cause an unusually high creatinin reading.

My sister is both a registered dietician and physical therapist and has studied sports nutrition extensively. As you begin weight training, your body becomes more efficient in utilizing the protein in your diet to build muscle. However you may want to add a protein shake with 20-30grams of protein following your workout if you are building up. A rule of thumb for weight training (provided you are in good health) is to consume 1.5g-2g of protein per 1kg of bodyweight. So if you weigh 220lbs (100kg) you would consume 150-200g/day of protein -- this figure includes all food you consume during the day including the supplement. Personally, I would suggest the low end of that range.

As for the wide range of supplements out there claiming to provide anabolic benefits (i.e. increase muscle building), aside from steroids (which will damage your kidneys), the only supplement shown to have significant verifiable benefit is creatine -- you can read up on the subject, if you take a look at research by Dr. William Evans (http://www.sportsnutritionworkshop.com/evans.htm).

As for myself, i weight train and after using creatine monohydrate (and not really enjoying trying to dissolve it in water and that not so pleasant taste) i switched to cee (MRI CE2) and have been happy with the results. I also take a whole food vitamin (not a megadose), fish oil, and a supplement for joints. I eat a ton of veggies, balanced with lean protein and go light on carbs. Before workouts I eat a half or full powerbar and drink lo-cal FRS which provides 1/2 cup of coffee's worth of caffeine. Good luck, and DO be careful, there's a lot of junk out there masquarading as nutrition or loaded with caffeine which is expensive and should be avoided.

like i said,caffeine and creatine are the only things that work.you can calculate all the grams of this and that but if you do not constantly try to lift more weight you won't go anywhere.

i,ve tried everything short of steroids and the only thing that remotely works is creatine and caffeine.creatine will make you gain some water weight and give you big pumps but its effects lessen over time.i,ve been a competitive olympic lifter and a powerlifter with some pretty good lifts to my credit.what works is hard work,no excuses,clean food,and SLEEP.without busting your balls even steroids suck.anyway,i think roids are for people with some sort of emotional problems to begin with.my 2 cents.good luck.

is there a replica of the ennebi fondale anywhere?

i have a fiddy and you can take the movement and dial straight out of the back.i guess some cases are different than others.

I LOVE that watch.nobody makes it?

try seller helenarou on e-bay.i think he has some with swan neck.not sure how much though.

who can think about watches with that monster butt bouncing around?

what a nice response guys. I am finding this very intersting. A lot of creative and technical people here. Which may explain why we choose Mechanical watches that are designed with passion...

creative?technical?I teach people how to lift heavy objects for a living.

I turn fat people into thin people.I'm a magician.....................naw,i'm a personal trainer.

Correct.

Correct

so you should tell everyone that comments on your watch that you are wearing a rep because if you don't, you would be guilty of caring about status,correct?then explain your hobby to them.

that's the best test right?why else buy reps?might as well buy unbranded stuff,and not try to pass anything off as genuine when it's not,right?personally,i prefer the unbranded or homage pieces.

looks awesome to me!that's what i want.already sent angus an e-mail.
