I dont even wear my wedding ring, I have a couple that i might but only for a special occasion and then they come off very soon, when i was at colege i saw one of my mates get a ring caught on a chuck key he laft in a lathe as he started it, Those of you who know what happened, well you know, those that dont, think of baby back ribs when you suck all the meat off them!
I bet you will never sell any of your old straps, Victoria already comlained about the smell of too much aftershave but this, we would never hear the end of it!
Very good idea, tell you what you make a start and let us know what you come up with. Start with using the search function and you will find a number of lists we have made in the past catagorised with price like the one called bset reps for under $100.
What movement does your Pam 90 have? if it is an asian 21j then it should not be a problem as it only winds in one direction and therefor does not have the same auto wind mech as an ETA. But if it does not get fully wound on your wrist during a day of normal wear, there may be a problem with it, or your daily routind does not involve enough movement to fully wind the watch, may i sugest a test?
While wearing your watch on your working hand rent "Debbie does Dallas" watch the film to the end and note the PR of the watch once you are "finished". if it is fully wound then it is your routine, if the PR is not well charged it could be a problem with the watch. I hope this helps George.
Please insert some thing suiting your taste instead of "Debbie does Dallas" I personaly like "Stormtroopers in Suspenders"
The movements in the reps we collect is the same movement that are in the gen watches we collect, AKA Oris, Citizen, Invicta, breitling and many many more.
To be more specific if you had a Gen SOSF with a breitling cal 17 you should still only wind it gently if you realy must wind it at all far better is to rotate it in your hand to get it moving set the time and wear it, Why? becase under the engraved rotor and ploished bridges it is a plain and simple 2824/2 with the same clicks in the winding mech as the rep with a 2824/2.
If a watch takes my eye and fitts into my wardrobe, then i will start researching, reading reviews, looking what other members have said and especialy its reliability. I think about my life style and if it will fit in and be belivable. I very rarely buy on the spur of the moment some times i may wait 6 months to a year before i buy particualy if it has a new movement or complication. And when i do buy on the spure of the moment it will bee because A) i am drunk or B)the deal is one that is not to be passed over.
For my 3000 post i would like to thank, all the people that run and contribute to this place for giving me so much knowledge, fun and watches. I love this place and i cant wait to sink a few in Brusses soom with a few of the members.
every one Thanks
