What services he is offering...? Same as Vac...?

Thanks guys for the info...

What are the best sources for getting the gen hands...?

I am in need of a replacement hand set for my 3717 with Swiss ETA7750 movement inside...

Does the rep hand set fits the stem or do I need a gen hand set...? I am assuming the gen hand set should fit...

What are the best sources that I can get a gen hand set at a reasonable price...?

Your help is much appreciated...

Got my hands on an old school EL 1st gen. Ingenieur...Incredible quality but lacks the AR or lume...

I am located in Canada...Any suggestion for modders in N.A. for the mods...?

Much appreciated...

Just got this one in the stable...There are many color bezel rings on this model but the "Brietling yellow" is the way to go IMO...

A few quick pics for your enjoyment...

Great AR on the sapphire...

Pretty good lume from the factory too...

Glad to see my old 1665 turned into such a nice piece...I'd never have the resource and expertise to dare venture into this level of franken build...

Congrats and enjoy...

Where to buy except at the AD...?

Nice collection Tutima

What kind of watch strap is on the watch on the far left of the picture? It looks similar to the Assolutamente strap that came with the GEN PAM 390. Goes well with the white dial.

Thanks wguy...That is an oiled nubuck strap custom made by a local Canadian strap maker Cory...He is no longer making straps for sale anymore...

Yep, perfect strap for my white dial DSN 055C with the patina developed after some use...

And a lume shot...

Here are mine...All old school...

A couple incoming...05K & 366 Fu...Including a cool lume shot of the Fu...

Not trying to confuse anyone with the encripted code...Just got my V2 Sub back from BK...The story is the little ETA-2678 movement in my franken V2 Sub kind of crapped out on me a couple of months ago...Contacted BK for a movement repair/replacement...BK suggested instead of fixing or swapped in the same iffy 2678 movment, I should just swap in a more robust ETA-2836...So I took his suggestion and send him the watch...Along with the movment swap, BK installed a new BK crown, new BK superlumed hand set and the latest BK DWO...

Here is the result...I would suggest to anyone with a V2 should consider the same mod...

I had the Zigmeister installed my Taka crystal on the 3717 and he had no problem with it...Maybe yours is a Topgun crystal as others suggested...

Hey ST4...That's a beaut...

I have the white dial version and thinking going tobacco but couldn't find a good dial as no other base tobacco dial is available ATM...

Show us some pics please...

DSN 055 has tobacco base dial...

Thanks guys...I am glad you liked it...

Here is the spec:

Far from Ubi's level of frankeness but good enough for me...

Nice new looks and layout of the new format...Thanks T...

However, I still prefer the old Sales Forums such that you know what forum to go to if you are looking to buy or sell a watch, a strap or parts...The new classifies are now all lumped together which makes it a bit cumbersome to look thru all ads to find what you are looking for...Besides that, what is listed is truly like an ad on the newspaper and you cannot comment or reply to the thread like we used to...

Just me $0.02...

Lost my VIP too...

So the ultimates are out with this new version on the market...?

Looks good...May have to get one myself...

Relax...

It usually takes between 5 to 10 business days for parcels to reach an US location from Canada...Website will not be updated until the package arrived at your local PO on the day of delivery...

Thanks guys...

The white base ti is the early DSN 055 release...He later changed it to the brown dial...I think it looks pretty cool with the white dial so I did not bother replacing the dial...

The 063 is original 2893 Honpo with lello DW, gen crown & DSN crystal...I found it to be the best for legibility of the date display...I had the chief's cyclop installed and did not like it too much...

My PAM collection at the moment...All old school modded...Not too crazy about the new stuff although they are pretty good...I guess you can only take in so much...

Congrats on the build...Really nice...

Care to share with us the spec...?

Much improved over the C factory version but just wondering how they can justify the $100 extra on the price (that is like 50% more)...
