Chronus

Is it cos I is black ?

Between the sig pics posted by you and Dani, whoo needs a girlfriend?

LOLLLLLL

Bill

I'm working on it. There's one girl I like, but I have to get the courage to talk to her.

Anyway... misdirection time. Pick on Dadog for his glowing name! Didn't he learn from Gotovina ?

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

I think davidsen sells the correct hands for the 188

I remember some of the misgivings were (some already mentioned),

-blowing dust off the dial (some of which may have come from work carried out, I'm not sure)

-repressing crystal (should be normal practice if a watch dial has been worked on, or serviced)

-lubricating o-rings (another given when the watch is opened up)

-re-alignment of date wheel (no info given on how this was done)

I think they were some of the things, although some were happy to pay for it so I guess you do what you will with your money.

At the moment, I have no girlfriend.

Maybe that's why I keep buying watches

Very interesting developments indeed. I highly commend both Rob and Namor for being willing to speak their minds about this issue. I have not done any business with joe but had not ruled it out of the realm of possibility due to his stellar rep. I personally won't be dealing with him in the future. Info like this does make one wonder.

It's not the first time The Zigmeister brought up misgivings. There was a lot in the old RWG which, I think, went mostly ignored by many.

Nice ones.

Is it worth getting this over a PAM036 ?

Great, I have an 029 and 063 I'll want them for. With the cyclops on order too

I'll also get an 028 2893 Power Reserve, if you are still doing anything with PVD? I'll need a datewheel for that one too.

If you have any datewheels for the 188 and 196 let me know too.

All will need reluming too. Should i get davidsen's hands for the 188 ?

Date aperture will be different for the ETA 7753.

I'm thinking, if you *DO* get this made, will people have to buy an ETA 7753 movement ($500 or so at ofrei.com), as well as the PAM187 with Asian 7750 (close to $1000), plus this new dial and someone to put it together correctly?

Gonna be expensive

I remember The Zigmeister's posts on the old RWG and understand his misgivings.

I remember what others said to him too.

I dunno, I never thought the PAMs looked very unique, they all look kind of the same to me, and they just didn't do anything for me. But I know you can't really tell from a pic, and everyone around here seems to like them sooooo much.... so I went to the local AD and looked at a few gens. Well, now that I've seen the real thing ...

they still all look the same to me, and they didn't really look any different than the pics. So I don't think I'll be getting any. I know I'm in the minority and it's purely a matter of personal taste, of course, but I still just don't get it.

You don't need to get it

We are addicts, you are lucky not to be PAM addicted!

The anticipation is killing me

Check silix, they have it with Asian 7750 i think.

The 188 that I have has no recessed subdial at 6, but the subdial hands and chrono seconds hand are silver.

Mine has ETA 7753.

True. The PAM187 with Asian 7750 is a case in point.

Nice

Maybe your watchsmith can test it's water resistance and you'll be ok by the sea. You can always put a bracelet on it while you are by the sea.

You can get an aftermarket 2 - tone or full gold bracelet. I'm not sure if these have solid end links though, and you'd have to attach the clasp from the rep or buy a genuine clasp.

I like them too

I think these ones look fine, but as I've already got a 188 and 196 it would be silly to look for these too

If the link doesn't work, it's the Luminor Chrono on the Panerai.com website.

Slight changes to the dial by the looks of things. White (ivory) dial Daylight now has 3 recessed subdials, as does the black dial version too.

Looks ok to me - usual Richemont strategy, slight change, limited edition (probably) and it will sell as well as ever.

eek! :yucky:

Yes but the hammers gave them a very diificult match

Yes.... but hammers got lucky - 1 own goal and 2 keeper mistakes. Liverpool also had a perfectly good Peter Crouch goal incorrectly ruled out for offside.

Liverpool were playing their 62nd or 63rd game of the season, a lot more than almost any other team and it showed. They looked tired, and when Alonso went off, I thought it was over, that's when the hammers took more control. Having said that it was Alonso who gave the ball away for their first goal. He obviously wasnt 100% fit

Harry Kewell will be worried to make the World Cup now.

Anyway, the best FA Cup final that I've ever seen

Now for the European Cup final on Wednesday... can it match the FA Cup final or even last year's European Cup final (hmmm... Liverpool cup finals always seem to be exciting... Alaves, Arsenal, AC Milan and now against West Ham).

Time is a man-made invention to help record and explain the passing of day to night, the passing of the seasons etc.

I'm changing my choice. I'm on the GST.

Great IWC.... I'm waiting for the same one in titanium too

Especially now it's summer, the titanium ones will be taking up more time

I needed 3 watches to watch the Liverpool - West Ham FA Cup final

Left wrist: Breitling Avenger Seawolf Titanium (diver's extension deployed)

Left wrist: RXW Plasmir Milgraph 7750

Right wrist: PAM029 on metal bracelet

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
