  1. You guys are missing the point here. 7750 will make noise regardless it is Asian or Swiss. I personally have no problem with a little winding noise and I totally enjoy the "Valjoux wobble" with the watch on my wrist when the rotor is free wheeling at amazing speed.
  2. For special day like Christmas, I put on my TT Seamaster 120:
  3. Is the latest batch of the Inge have had this problem fixed..? Eager to buy one but.......
  4. Did anybody check out the sash's so call "improved old version" Ingy..? The main difference from what I can see is the dial face texture looks different and the IWC marking on the bracelet clasp seems sandblasted on instead of engraving.
  5. You mean Strapmaster, I believe. I don't think Strapwork has something that nice.
  6. Congrats on a good catch. The MP's are excellent straps. I had a MP3 black sharky before and it was an amazing strap.
  7. What is the diff. between the old case and the new case..? Is the old case referring to the one with 21,600bph 7750 model with AR coated crystal..?
  8. Looks like the tail is wagging the dog...or is the watch upside down..? Nice watch and nice strap though. Good match. Wear it well.

    Good Old 111

    That's the F series with polished CG. You can't get them anymore from the dealers. The same one I have and loving it.
  10. I have the Paw Marker coffee brown on my 009 PVD as seen in the pics. I found it to be bland and not made of very good quality leather. I had to do some light distressing myself (wet it, roll it, fold it, treat it with leather conditioner and allover again) to get it into an acceptable shape. (The quest for a good strap for my 009 that fits into my budget continues). The buckle that came with the Paw Marker is of pretty good quality. It is on the Venice right now as shown in the pics. Overall, it is not the strap with quality that I am looking for and the price reflects that. Will I buy another one..? Probably not at this moment.
  11. Received the Sicily and Venice from V last week. Wore them a few days to break them in before I can form my opinion with them. Pros: The leather are of pretty good quality. Certainly different from those run of the mill, production line straps that you can purchase from the online stores. The Sicily has a shiny finish while the Venice has a matt but not quite nubuck finish. The straps were a little stiff when new which was expected for straps at this thicknes (4mm+). They have softened up nicely after a few days of wrist time. Cons: The finsh on the side of the straps especially on the short piece was not very good. The holes were punched not quite evenly. Personal impression: The straps actually look and feel more of custom handmade straps than the straps of mass production. The imperfections mention above in actural fact enhence that feeling. I am quite sure that these straps will age nicely after more wrist time. These straps are so good that making me wanting to get the Florence as well to complete the collecton. A few pics here for your viewing. The Sicily is on the PAM111F and the Venice is on the Arktos: The Sicily: The Venice: My other PAM's. The 192 Tantalium chrono and the Davidsen 009 PVD: That's all folks. Thanks for looking.
  12. After 2 months and 5 trips across the Pacific Ocean, I finally got this baby on my wrist. And I can tell you. It is awesome.
  13. My experience with the Swiss hand wind 6497 movement is that they are quite delicate and not shock resistant at all. After a shock, the coil spring sometimes tangle up a little bit and the watch will suddenly run fast and gain 2 hours per day in my case. This happens to me once in a while. My cure is very simple. Let the watch stop when the power reserve runs out. Tap the crystal and the caseback a few times with moderate force like what you would knock on your boss's office door. The coil spring will untangle and the watch will be back to normal. This works for me all the time. Hope this helps.
  14. What lume should the 009 has..? Super lume or vintage lume..? Anybody has a lume shot..?? Thanks in advance.
  15. That was what I said when I saw the jacket first time that it will go well with the PVD PAM's. Just the right contrast to compliment the PVD case IMO. Wear it well, V.
  16. I like the baseball tan. Awesome watch...!!!
  17. The racheting noise and the famous wobble are well documented for the Swiss or Asian 7750. No need to worry if it is running fine and keeps good time.
  18. Since a few guys have shown interested in this strap. I am posting some updated pics for your viewing pleasure. The strap looks much mature now after some wrist time.
  19. I believe England hasn't beaten Sweden in international matches for decades. So, the best I predict they can do is a 1-1 draw.
  20. Great looking straps from the vintage jacket. Congrats to Veni and all those fellows who ordered.
