Thanx. I want one of those GMTs you have!

Ipod. Have 5 in the household. One connected to my car through interface, plays music in stereo, controlled with factory controls. Use iphone for myself, shuffle for my son, nano for the wife, normal 60G in the house...

I had the camera out so I decided to shoot the family......Bad pics, but it is 8000 degrees outside, so the sun is beaming brightly. I had not realized I gathered so many pieces. Some will go, some will stay.... One thing I have gotten from you(Thanks!) is the ability to work on my own watches. I only touch the 6497s and they give me enough grief, but ultimately, I am enjoying the art of time even more! Enjoy...

Would anyone be willing to loan me a case back from a 47mm to create the prototype for the tool? If not, does anyone have one to sell?

That is very nice. I need to make one of those straps....

I have these tools available now...I need a 47mm case back to get the next size manufactured. These are very comfortable to use...If you have a 47mm case back you could loan me, I'll get the next size done. In the tools area for sale.....

I appreciate it. My pleasure.

Looking good my man, looking good....

I can make you one in a week. Send me the specs you want.

Here is an idea I have been toying with. Let me know what you think. Very soft suede leather on this one. Nice neutral color....Keeps you cool in the summer. I wanted to add this to my 188 or 111...

Beautiful as usual...

They rely on friction. Some have said that applying too much pressure on the glass may create damage....These are reps...However, YMMV. On ebay, it is sold as Orb...

Send me the dimensions, I will have it priced. I believe I can beat that...

$25-40 range...Not as glamorous as Angus' or as multifunctional as orb...Just pure tool...

Yes. Havent been able to find. In development so I'll see if I get them cheap. Mine was free...

Good suggestions. I already ran into the strap/crown issue on the prototype. It is being corrected now... I'll post some pics later...

Nice Idea. I can do that. Do you have dimensions you could PM me? I will be calling the manufacturer today and this can be on of the changes. Might make it uncomfortable to use but efficient nontheless.

Thank you for the advice and private PMs. Production starts soon and should be available late next week. I should be able to keep them in the $25-30 range. 47mm case coming soon... In addition to having custom buckles made, I asked my manufacturer to create a caseback tool. He delivered the prototype to me yesterday. It is made from Billet aluminum and will work on 44mm classic and current model Pams although it will not fit the Ferrari. I want to know before a major production run the interest level. I will post pics of the prototype tonight but it will most likely not look exactly the same as I will be making changes to it. So please respond with interest. I still will probably make some but it may not be a major run if the interest is not there. My issue with a local watchmaker who refused to take my watch in for fear of scratching the case was one of the impetus behind this. He could not open the case so I had to do it with duct tape which wasnt pretty or safe..... Let me know....I'll be able to supply these in the 40-80 range....Dont know for sure until I get some numbers of interested parties....

Nice. In addition to patience, I will add, Patience again, tough fingers, budget for leather when you screw up your piece because of a mispunch..., understanding wife for the time it takes, more tools, band-aids and some other nice chemicals for finish work. But good basic tutorial...

I make straps and have my customers who wear Pams asking for these ALL the time. I am having some manufactured now... If you dont want it, I'll take it and give you one a little thinner and some cash...

Still working. I have 3 different reps (2 of which will go on sale) 4 different dials...I make the straps so there was little cost there...I bought my first from a friend and it turns out it may be a DSN....I then tried to get a cannon mod by purchasing the parts myself and taking to a local maker....I forgot one of the parts...so the watchmaker could not complete the task. Then I sent a request to the master here(The Zigmeister) and the cost of that mod plus lume made me think twice because I would have been close to your budget. So now, I just purchased one with lume and pin and will modify the crown guard myself. The issue with this piece is that the movement needs work but since I have two "donors" I thought what the heck. The cost will go way higher than $500 unless you find someone here with most mods you want selling for the budgeted amount...Which does seem possible from my limited experience.

True. More difficult to make and look proper. I have also made/worn 27/27 and 26/26 but I agree, the tapered looks better. Especially in Black Gator...

Dude, Schweet!

Beautiful work.

Much love for the Graham....
