i especially like the ti/gun metal 44mm...looks sharp...one of my favorites "PAMs" is a homage...and for the price, these getat's are a great deal...all they need to do is get the lume right...and make a decent destro with nice cg...
looks great...wear them well...love the strap, btw, on the ti PAM...who's is it?...
one of these 3...classic, rugged and sexy!...
Breitling Chrono Avenger v1, chieftang double ar, with grey skyland dial
Breitling Seawolf v1, k2222 double ar, gen dial, 24 hour utc bracelet
Omega Broad Arrow, handwind, seagull st-19 movement
presently locked in on Genesis soundboard recordings...over the years, i've compiled recognized "best" soundboard recordings of all the major years/tours -- from the first gig, to the present...i'm going in sequence...

@Val -- no pix, but my 2 cents...similar to quest's first pix above, i like a tight moo grain with straw colored stitching in the same color family as the lume...i also like a dark deep chocolate brown strap color - dark thread for a more formal look, light color thread for a more casual look...
out of curiousity - can i see a pix of the grey strap you replaced?...kinda looking for a nice grey one - and certainly have plenty to trade with ya...pm me if interested in discussing and/or pix...
i love these pix...you've cornered the market on PAM parts over quite a few months...
i can see at least 3-4 different cases - primarily through looking at the lugs...out of the 7 - how many different ones are there?...just wondering how many different factories...i'm guessing over the years they may have changed, too...
also - i've noticed a definite difference in thickness of the lug screws between ti cases, too...
any sense of whether these are all the same quality of titanium?!...
shamless comment --> pls keep me in mind should you decide to shed any of these...
i had a B&R 02-94 that was purchased from one of our dealers with a swiss movement upgrade...this movement was in it...and from what i've read, it the same movement that the gen has...
Dovo -
very well done...a unique watch with a nice contemporary flair...
does anyone have the panda dial model?...i'd love to see some pix of this one...
@TT - thanks for moving this here...

really nice review...thank you for taking the time to do so...a great read!...
i have the white/silver dial Datora with chieftang double AR...it's a keeper!...one of my favorite watches and with all the detail on the dial - it's clearly classic Breitling...
i'm thinking the bottom is the rep case...there appears to be a gap between the bezel and case on the bottom case ( the one with the ammo strap with white stitching)...i have a case with this gap - it's kinda a recess that you could slip a knife in to remove the bezel...if there's not a recess, then i haven't a clue...

@mir... well done...she looks great...i love how this cases come out and really add a nice unique touch to the dial!...i love my 001b in the same treated case!...you really got yours very light in color...nice!...question - what did you use the Staedler eraser for?...
all the best and wear it well...R
well done, S!...it looks great!...it's amazing how the little things make a big difference...i love it...
just got my 000 together...i plan some pix soon...
all the best - and great to see that watch...it has to be the most over-exposed 112h on the forum...

as an fyi...
i bought a small bottle of flat black matte Testors brand enamel paint - #1149...and touched up the chips on the hands...under a loop it looks good...just a reallllllllllly tiny amount brushed on with the tip of a paper towel...i let it set for less the a minute and then brush my finger over it...in the USA, these paints are found in hobby sections of stores that sell plastic models of cars, planes, etc...$1.50usd...
thanks, Drulee...that's what i was thinking of...using model paint...
black can be a tough color to match - so i was just wondering if something else was out there...anything is better, though, then when the light catches that exposed metal of the hands where its chipped...
hey BB!...long time...hope all is well, my friend!...

the hands on one of my PAMs have a chipped piece of paint off where they attached to the cp...any idea on what type of paint would work best as a small touchup...just looking for some advice from anyone who has done this - what type of paint, color/number, application process, etc...no need to repaint the entire hand, just wanted to hide a shiny chip...
thanks...R
