This reminds me of a story of a guy that had a pet chicken. Turns out he won the lottery while this chicken was on his shoulder. He started thinking it was some type of lucky chicken and convinced others of this,,,,he ended up selling the chicken's crap for decent amounts of money to people. Now, I'm not saying an old panerai strap is the same as chicken crap,,,,,,,,,,,but (I'm not sure this story is true but is in a book called "why smart people believe weird things")

Elprimerozen,,,,,,,,,,,,,I like that Russian watch...nice design and hands.

Here are two of my favorites (after a few drinks I may get them wrong). The first is from the american philosopher William James "There is no conclusion. What has concluded, that we might conclude in regard to it? There are no fortunes to be told, and there is no advice to be given" Another less directly related one comes from the book "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" "we take a handful of sand from the endless landscape of awareness around us,,,,,and call this handful of sand the world" I wish I could be more optimistic about the meaning of human progress. The more I investigate human history, the more I question if any progress has actually been made.

Just got this gen,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,will be a while till something else gets put on.

Does it feel like it isn't catching on anything at all? If so, could be the same thing that went wrong my my PO and at least one other PO. Hope it isn't too popular as I was thinking of getting on of the cheaper POs that just came out.

I have a few old dials from Davidsen that I take apart and paint or relum. This dial was green, then yellow and has been orange for a few weeks. Actually, I have this psycho luminor on today and did get a few comments but my co workers know I'm strange when it comes to watches.

Great pictures,,,,this is such a nice watch. I've had two 45mm PO reps and just didn't do it for me. The reps are decent quality but at least the two I had, had some thing going on that bugged me. I would really like to do the gen on this someday....since I just got a high priced gen, may be a while but worth the wait.

That is the look I was going for....What is that watch? I mean,,,,,,,knowledge? What is up with that?

Yes, I do. I originally wanted to do a grey dial and green lum but it didn't work out that well. then I did yellow and that also didn't work out that well. Orange looked the best but I'll probalby redo the dial a dark black...

Perhaps it needs to go in the oven for a few hours to dry out? How about 450 for two hours?

I think this came out pretty decent. It would look better on a PVD case. Also, I'm thinking of actually getting some real bright orange lum, this is just paint. However, something different at least.

Is there a strap on the watch? Is it a good one or just a rep strap? If just a rep, I would cut it then you will have more to work with. You can get something directly around the screw and twist it better. It should give in at that point.

yeah,,,,,,sold very fast.

I agree,,,,River's spring bars are very nice even at twice the price. Good solution and you can always get that old one out one way or another...

LOL,,,,,,,a pam PO,,,,,,,,sounds good to me

may have this on tonight, should be good for sesame street live

I'm going to have this together by tonight (I may do another set of hands). We will have some seriously unusal watches to compare in a few weeks in cleveland.

The caseback is nice and thick, overall one of the better 111s I've seen, as others pointed out, the dial is a little off but still very nice. This has to be Davidsens' latest?

For a short time in my twenties, I had an old honda civic. It looked like someone had painted it using a roller and house paint. It didn't work if it was raining so you had to plan ahead.

I'm guessing the He value is all cosmetic and doesn't actually enter the case?

Just got this one....Nice gen..

Great pictures,,,I had a difficult time taking decent pictures of that dial, yours are much better.

I should be there,,,it will be cool to see these in person. Too bad I still don't have my skeletonized fiddy, man that thing was a mistake. I should have at least one unusual pam myself. Should be a good time, hope you can make it.

Yes, I always put a 6497 next to the bed and actually even like it during the day,,,,my wife HATES IT. She goes on and on, "that watch is so loud, how can you stand it?" Just one of those many strange things with watches I guess.

extremely cool looking watches. Looks half panerai and half movado,,,,perhaps its a panado? I've played around a bit myself with these dials there are a lot of things you can do, I'm trying out some fluorscent paints right now.
