thanks all... my first PAM was the 239 destro -- but for some odd reason, i never bonded with it... our beloved colleague Toad is now its new owner - a home i am happy its in!... i did however, get the destro bug from the 239 ownership...i soon picked up a 112h and decided i loved the simplicity of the base and simpler PAM dials...with destro withdrawal, i began the search...attacking such members as Hike and ST4 in the hopes of a weak moment a destro would find its way to NY... heck - with Steve down-under, i was hoping one would drop from the sky?... all said and done, vly and i connected and the 219 headed only a couple hundred miles northwest to central new yorwk... i take no credit for anything other than ownership...B's vision, resourcefulness and our usual expert RWG crew of modders and service providers brought this beauty to life... here's the details of this puppy!... 1. base 112h (where it all began) - asian swan neck serviced by the ZigMeister! 2. sumperlume hands/backplate by flavr flav 3. Homer crown 4. Angus CG (CG level, crown and CG pin perfectly modded!) 5. H3 Cannon pin fix (polished and flattened) 5. double AR via Chieftang 6. LH 219 dial 7. strap - an old beater my friend Panera from Instanbul, Turkey sent from a previous railmaster xxl deal; re-oiled and just perfect for this watch! enjoy - R

how about a little 180 flip of Ronin's?!...enjoy - R

PAM 219 Recipe: Have a vision...take some great components, some great RWG members, amazing watchmaking skills and craftsmanship, time, patience and love of the game!... Very fortunate to be the new owner of this beauty...and to have connected with a great member... Thanks, B!... R- a very special thanks extended to B - and a couple of my RWG "Board of Advisors" - on this acquisition... PAM 219 Trade Review

0-0 draw; after 90 minutes and (2) 10 minutes OT periods... anybody identify the movement?!... enjoy - R

brand management...

@gio --> nice pix, to say the least... love the [censored] crack in your current avatar (kinda partial to that subtlety)... and that look in you signature pix is hot!...keep up the good "work"...R

a little VCO love to start the week off... R-

+1 R-

i just picked up a nice "vintage" 6263 - black bezel/dial with silver subdial seconds@9 - a7750...looks and runs great...(flawed yes, but nonetheless) - been pondering selling it, as i need the funds...just not sure i want to part with it...wears great and looks even better!... R - a quick, pix of my 6263...

where's wayward? You could regulate an atomic clock with that rhythm...

I expect the Hikester to weigh in 2mrw with his current and perhaps next round of horological "accessories"...

@vly --> c'mon - where's that curvy cowgirl?!

ok...thought RWG needed a lift (pun intended)...so let's post - in a single thread - our sexy avatars... hoping our colleagues like shundi, wayward, vlydog, hikeusa and many others contribute to this break from replimania... warning: your computer screen will shake when shundi and wayward post! enjoy -- R (I posted this thread in the "General Discussion" forum because I thought it would get the most traffic)

i think the key is a soft strap...and you do have to wrestle with the springbar a bit...but eventually it worked for me... i've attached this 24mm Gunny Mona to my grey Skyland and love the look... enjoy - R

TT - an amazing piece!....never tire of seeing it...R

Happy Birthday, KB!...enjoy the weekend!...R

Happy Birthday Ubi!...you're one of the best!...R

one of my favorite summer-time setups...

congrats!... appreciate all the hard work and effort!...R

well said, DL...

wearing my recently acquired "vintage" 6263 today (RWG member sale)...an a7750 - seconds at 9... and yessssss - i know it's flawed, but IMO it looks good...and it works like a champ!...R

before i scrolled down to see the daytona, i was thinking how much i liked it better than the Daytona...somewhat classier, i think... R-

yikes...it's 90 degrees F in Central NY!...nice watch -- but that sweater has to go, D!... R-

Sunday...and Monday...wet and wild...(yeah, sure - gonna clean the pool Monday!)...R
