  1. 1:1 PAM Cylopses

    If anybody has 1 extra on the way and would like to turn a profit while getting that nice warm fuzzy feeling in their heart because they contributed to the existence of a near perfect 63 rep that will be worn daily, please PM me. :lol:

    Thanks

    Thanks very much for that - although I don't mind waiting for it to darken. My 1942 fiddy strap from MF was the same so I accelerated the ageing by repeatedly soaking in water and drying, then rubbing it when dry with my fingers and thumbs. Now it has a really shiny Louis Vuitton type Patina and took a couple of days to get it like that.

    The pic you have shown has black stitching?

    Good to know. Yes, black stitch was a special request. No big deal for Smat as he makes everything to order. I feel bad returning it, but the edges weren't as advertised either. He put what looks like black paint on it instead of leavig it natural like the pics. That is really what I didn't like about it. Made it look kinda cheap. I can't stress how nice his higher end stuff is for the price though ie, croc, ostrich, bull belly. All very nice. I will order from him again for sure.

    Also got this one coming for my PAM000 project.

    Be warned that that strap looks a lot lighter in real life. I just got mine for a new PVD, but the color wasn't deep enough and doesn't appear to have any of the orange/red like in his pics. So, I'm sending mine back for an upgrade to an Ivory Croc.

    The one I got is, according to Smat "from the same exact piece of leather", as the pic you posted but the color is represented better in my pic below. He said it would darken with age, but I'm impatient.

  9. Pam 029/063 - 2893 no longer being produced

    I just ordered the last 63 from EL :p and am looking to get some things fixed ASAP because this will be my daily queen.

    Questions..

    1. Is the crystal interchangeable with other PAM models?

    2. If it is, then where can I get a proper AR sapphire crystal?

    3. Also Where can I get a good cyclops for it?

    4. Are the GMT numbers lumed? If they are, theyalong with the stips on the arms may be a very difficult relume even for the zig master

  14. Too good to be true

    in Rep vs. Genuine

    Watches pictured are genuine and priced right for used. What do you think is going on?

    Nevermind, I was looking at prices he was listing them for, not what they were actually selling for in the end. My fault for not paying attention, I was expecting the bidding to start closer to a reasonable price. I never understood why you would start the bidding at say $5.00 if you have the reserve set at $1500. I'm not an avid e-splayer though.

    Sorry for wasting a thread..
