Chronus

i like the way you think chronus, you're a good man! and as for ghostface, i'm confident that there will be at least one game that he will not be the champion of.

If he ever tops my score on Hexxagon, I'll call him out as a cheat!

How do you know it wasn't a rep bracelet on a genuine watch ?

It's like someone on here ordered the IWC Aquatimer because he was quoted 1k for a genuine IWC bracelet...

Dumb question, but on this movement, will the GMT hand "jump" to the proper spot in relation to minutes?

Yes it does.

Don't forget TTK is in the UK too at the moment. He probably ships from here at times too.

If money is no object than get a genuine!

Otherwise,

PAM028 - cyclops, croown/crown guard (?), relume, real PVD, datewheel

PAM029/063 - cyclops, crown/crown guard (?), relume, datewheel

PAM196 - datewheel, relume, crown

I am not 100% sure on these, someone like sssurfer or finepics will know more.

I'm a fan of bracelets, got the one that came with the 192, and also got one on the 029 that I'm wearing at the moment

I am back and I am wll. Thank you Chronus

Gran (aka Gunnar aka...you know)

Great to see you made it here

They have been having problems with pp, and refunded me a few times now. I made one payment with WU which is no problem.

Great work

Guys,

Glad to be here, and am learning more every day. Now I'm ready to jump, but on the sage advice of another member will retrain myself and only order 1 rep at a time.

I'm thinking either PAM196 or 111. Who has the best/most accurate rep? Which movement should I look for on these items?

If anyone owns either, a quick readers digest review would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you want accuracy then the PAM001, 111 or 183 are the ones to go for.

The PAM001 is with a solid caseback so no problems with movement not being decorated correctly etc.

Also, if price is an issue, you can get the 111 or 183 for a pretty good price with Asian manual movement.

If you want to go the way of Swiss ETA "Unitas" 6497, then they can also be found, but at least double the price of the Asian version.

If you want an ETA, the PAM036 in titanium is also very good, and doesn't have the centre cannon pinion problem. The only mod that really needs to be done is a relume and that's it.

If only I was in US... I could take some pics of your new watch... haha!

Good luck with your purchase!

admin, you should send it on to sql_pl after you get it so his girl can model it for us

As for Ghostface he;s too busy dominating the arcade high scoreS!!

Went to my local mall here in NW London, passed by one of those stores which "rapairs shoes, cuts keys, and does watch repairs"...I saw he had a waterproof testing machine so I asked how much he charges, he asked to see my watch...I handed over my speedy moon watch, he looks at the front, turns it around...I'm waiting to hear if he'll ask if it's a replica...instead he says "Hmm...this doesn't use a battery...blah blah blah" told me that my watch wasn't water proof because it didn't have "water proof" written on it...

As Chronus would say....PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Definitely a Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee moment

Apparently there is a watchsmith in Picadilly Circus tube station that does waterproof testing. I havent gone there myself, but if you find it let me know exactly where it is!

i didnt wanna embarass him infront of all the others... (there was girls near us!)

But he didnt mind embarrassing you when his was clearly vastly inferior, and he couldn't really tell if it was a genuine or not.

Eventhough I have many other portable devices which display the current time, Gran would not feel complete without a wrist watch. I will not give up my Hig End Luxury watch quest fixation for anything. Wrist watches are probably more of a fashion thing these days than it ever was, and my watch still serves to remind me of the time and date when I need it to

Happy Timekeeping

Gran

Is this the same Gran from the old RWG ? I hope you are better, I read the post from your wife that said you weren't well.

"The inconvenience of strapping it on in the morning," ...How lazy can one person be? 4.5 seconds out of your morning time is an inconvenience???

Some people sleep with their watch on, so where's the inconvenience? Also, a PAM127 (1950) is a useful self-defence tool

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

I'm ordering all my stuff myself, still sorting out the previous one

She don't need to know - she never asked

I used the cellphone while i didnt have a watch for a while. i had a problem during the last summer where i would get a rash from the watch so i didnt wear it, and i used the cellphone.

029 or 063 (or both) are definitely worth getting. Same ETA movement as the genuine, and it looks damn good. These ones are very limited and there may not even be any stocks left.. so get it while it's available. If you don't like it you should be able to sell it or swap it with someone.

Addiction is definitely not good... especially when one diverts almost 100% of wages into it

Servicing an AP Offshore: $1200

Servicing a Blancpain Flyback Chrono: $1000

Refinishing a RO bracelet: $400 by AP Clearwater

Servicing by The Zigmeister: $100-$175

You do the math.

You forgot to add,

Attention to detail by The Zigmeister: priceless

Good luck to him.

I only ever had contact with him once, saying he was travelling a lot and busy. Hope everything gets better.

Such is the inevitability of life, but it is never easy to deal with, especially something that seems eternal.

It's quartz though.

Why is it called common? Humanity is going downhill...

I like it, can you get me one too ?
