I ordered a bunch of beginners tools from Ofrei online a while ago, and it was a flawless transaction. He actually upgraded for free a few items that were out of stock.

Regards,

My friend has a gen 44m Auto Pam (no clue what model, sorry), and the crown was nice and thick. I'd say that for sure ~2mm. Very slight bevel.

Handling the watch made you instantly aware how far any auto rep is from the real deal.

Regards,

Mark is a true gentleman and a man of his word.

Enjoy these days, Mark!!

Argh!! My eyes!!

Or not so rare [now]...

If you are going to do some "real turism" through South America, taking a valuable watch is a sure recipe for trouble.

Off the top of my head, the watch that meets all your requirements is a Seiko black monster. I usually take a quartz POS.

Have fun on your trip!

Hi,

Thanks for your kind comments.

The watch was originally bought from Joshua (swiss 6497 movement). Mark replaced the crystal with a custom plexiglass one and he relumed the watch with vintage lume. The dial was relumed using some kind of enamel on top of the lume, giving it a great vintage feel.

Regards,

I wanted to publicly thank Mark for the work he did on my watch. He is a very talented individual and a gentleman. Such attributes are hard to find nowadays, specially coexisting together.

Happy new year,

Reminds me of the gal in the night club that has the hot ass in blue jeans...

Then you get her home and remove them...

And find nuttin but Cottage Cheese...

yeah, because by then you aren't dead drunk any more, and hence you can see what your friends were giggling about

Looks great. Wear it well. Was that the stock lume or did you relume?

A firefly's fart glows brighter/longer than this one. I just recently got this same model, and it has the worse lume ever. Polar opposite of the 243, which is fantastic in that regard right out of the box.

Great pics, Rolli!

I have two (I forgot to turn off my eBay robot ) of the 4 watch version, and at least the one I use, is totally silent. By the way, the one you are looking at is HUGE.

I'm pretty happy with the hands on mine. I don't lose any sleep over 1mm more or less. The law of diminishing returns kicks in at full force when you get that picky.

Being a Pam lover, my biggest disappointment would have to be the WM white SD. Hands down the fastest watch I have ever flipped. As soon as I opened the package I knew it wasn't for me. Quality seemed good, but it was tiny on my wrist, and still needed a few modifications. The watch was on the post office on its way to the new owner about two hours after I got delivery of it.

On the other side of the spectrum, the watch that I keep going to is my lightly modded 063. I have gotten it to the point where I am satisfied with, and I just love that watch.

Looks great! I really like this one.

How hard was it to put the watch on an ostridge's neck?

Ah! Having messed up one myself, I also learned the hard way.

I was told to pull the stem all the way out (change time position) and then, with a 1.2mm screwdriver, press lightly as one pulls the stem out.

I wish I had asked before I mangled my 063. I am making The Zigmeister rich!

Regards,

so for the time being, since i have an empty 1680 case (movement is off being serviced) i think i'm gonna put the white 1680 movement in there, so i can get the bit tip out without worry of damaging the movement.

SO, i have a annoying question, which has been answered a million times before but I am very very gunshy, when pressing the crown release, what size screwdriver should i use, and should i press on an angle, straight, how? Cause the past 2 times i released the crown, the keyless works jammed up, so now 2 movements are on their way to The Zigmeister.

Also, what is the best position for the crown to be in, date set, time set?

thanks guys, always very helpful

Same here. Exact same issue. I can't see it when I wear it, so I live with it.

It came with a small nick in the finish where the SS showed through, very very tiny, infact I only notice it if light shines directly on it...

This has also happened to me on my Pam 063 the third time or so I worked on it. I actually used a watchmaker screwdriver and still managed to sink it! I feel a little relieved to see that some other members have done this, as I thought I was the only one. Mine will be going to The Zigmeister to have it fixed and serviced. My confidence level working with watches has plunged after this fiasco

Ricky Martin. Not too proud that I recognized it right away...

Do you know how I know that you are... nevermind.

I dont think you did. I have read the whole thread and I too have no clue what colors are avaliable for this group purchase.

Yes, I believe we are still waiting to hear what colors are available? Or did I miss that post?

Sent you a PM.

@rgthrottle - I need to have your crystal to set the machine up for the plexi crystal which is a solid 5mm thick at the centre - much much better than a sapphire!!

Can a kind soul on this forum please measure the bezel of your vintage Marina Militare with Rolex crown?

Finepics, it has to be 40mm to fit, correct?

Many thanks,

@ rqthrottle - not sure about this and I am unable to measure a bezel as I don't have one spare.

I know a sapphire crystal is not historically correct, but does anyone know if a Davidsen fiddy glass will fit a molinja vintage MM?

Finepics, are you offering the plexy crystal replacement service for members? I am interested

Many thanks!

Are you sure that order form is working? I am not sure that after filing the form, it goes into a black hole... and your credit card # along with it.

I am very willing to believe the quality is better than the standard rep, however I do think Davidsen's mm20 is a great deal for the money. I will still end up getting a real mm20 soon. If you put two high quality straps in, a real swiss movement, 100 m waterproof and outstanding lum and nice presentation box the 1,000 doesn't seem like a lot anymore. It's friday, a few drinks and I'll probably end up here with a credit card.

Is taping the dial to the movement necessary if the dial has the proper feet for the movement? or is this done only if it is a custom job?

Many thanks,
