acquired this piece in a trade...added this really cool strap to it....was looking for a rugged PAM...and this one hits the mark!...
it's stock - and would benefit from some vintage lume/etc...we'll see...
enjoy - R
sexy, Blacksteel, P!...
back to this one today - love the soft gray/charcoal dial...this homage just works!...and the Z-lume is outstanding (charged and uncharged)...

i, too, am having the problem with IE7...
to compensate, i type "blindly" thru the middle box and then when i'm done, i add a bunch of lines with only a single "X" on to the end...by adding extra lines, i can then scroll up/down and see what i blindly typed...after that looks good, i delete the extra lines...a pain - but it's a workaround...

love this shot Red!...Breitling Steelfish Molten Lava limited edition......
P - one REALLY nice Diver!...
Breiday - I like!... (nice SA, too!)
...wow...looks like a hockey puck!...
if only the crystal was thicker... ...it's not!...sooooooo, I just swapped in the taller rep rehaut to replace the shorter gen rehaut... ...a la Ubi!......
what a difference a gen dial makes - very BRIGHT!!!...

I just love the look of this watch!...one of those watches i've always thought would be cool to own, but not sure how/when i'd wear this...nonetheless, awesome dial...and you get a free cork extractor with it...
perhaps this is a watch for wine tasting touring...

Nice work, Mike!...
I worked for a company that sourced ss products for consumer and food service markets (silverware/flatware/serveware/etc) from many different factories throughout Asia...even though these factories were "certified" we ran into mix issues...these factories made all sorts of items for all sorts of industries...so knowing the what/where of these factories and their capabilities is a piece of the puzzle...Mike's comment on ss automotive exhaust level steel could very well mean that there's a factory that makes exhaust and watch cases...
well done...
do you want us to report any "wierdness" to you via this thread?...or another mechanism?...
btw - the reply windows are a little wierd - on threads and pms...
R-
excellent...thanks, P!...winding, not time-setting...got it!...
upon re-insertion, does it go all the way or just to the winding position, then?...
thanks...R
Hi Guys --
I can't seem to find the tutorial or info on this one...i am looking to decase a broken chrono a7750 and just need to know what position to put the stem/crown in prior to releasing it with the stem release button?...subsequently, when re-inserting it, what's the process?...
Please advise and/or point to the right tutorial...
Much appreciated...
R-
Hey J!...looking good, my friend!...love the strap choice...
Hey P!...this is one nice Diver...i like!...(what a suprise, huh?!)...
*************************
For me, yet another day, i'm wearing an appropriate watch for the storm we're getting today...and definitely my favorite casual PAM...
PAM 252 NorthPole w/ Z-blue lume!...
so glad i hunkered down and read this with coffee instead of alcohol...
excellent and very informative, Zig!...
appreciate the time and effort to enlighten the community!...
@Toad --> cool gesture...nice!...
R-
@Tmeshare --> thanks for posting your perceptions of this watch...love the look of it -- just not sure i like the blinginess of the bracelet -- and with no ability to put it on leather it's a tough one for me...but absolutely love the look of the bronze dial version...
wear it well...and thanks!...R
wondering if anyone with first hand knowledge of jacksontse, getat, helenarou, others can tell us about these dealers' case sets:
1) a nice crystal w/o lens effect - distortion at sharp angles?; with or without AR on the crystal?...sapphire or mineral?
it's tough to REALLY discern if they come with it or with out it - so first hand knowledge will help...
2) case quality/build/fit?
3) price/value?
4) dealer customer service?
thanks...R
