Chronus

Do the 029 and 063 GMTs have AR coating?

Sadly, not yet I'm just too tired lately, I've not been sleeping well at all! Speaking of which I'll go sleep soon. I played football last night and I am playing in the morning again.

What about Alfa Romeo ?

Don't know the model number, wait for thomasng to rip this one to shreds, but obvious differences from the real thing are: - running seconds should be at 12 o'clock - cyclops should be at dial level and not attached to the crystal (like Panerai) If you like it, go for it though, it's still nice. I have no idea of the quality of this rubber bezel though.

I've never seen a ribber strap... any pictures? Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Now let me change that Friday : PAM063 with ETA 2893 movement. Saturday: TBA Sunday: TBA

If you mean Liverpool will get Lyon in the next round - didn't Lyon win their group, as did Liverpool, so that is not possible in the next round? As for easy groups, the fans who were most happy with their group were Man Utd. They thought they had an easy group, seeing no other team capable of beating them. How wrong they were. They thought they had the easiest group last year too! And the year before, and before. I see a pattern here, they usually get easy groups - who do they pay off for this perennial stroke of good fortune that they still balls up? On paper, no one usually wants Galatasary and I was a little apprehensive, but this year it has turned into an easy group, much like last year's one looked tricky as well, with Chelsea and Betis in the same group. Luck was there for the away trip to Gala as the last game I hope Celtic top their group with Benfica coming second and going through... I'd like to see old whiskey-nose fergie taking the UEFA cup seriously as their only chance of a trophy. Good luck to Drgoba hitting them for 6 on Sunday

Sure, if you mean the meal... if you can go to Sweden! Then again, if I'm lucky I may be in Spain for New Year's Eve, is Madrid good that time of year ?

Can I meet you in a dark alley before you go to one of these places?

How's the lume? Do I need to send it to The Zigmeister to fix the chrono reset and for a relume?

Of the BASEs I prefer the 176, but it's the 112 in a titanium case.. and I like titanium I'd like to see it in a tantalium case too!

Good luck with whatever you choose. I'm an Omega fan so I'm a little biased there...! There was a guy in the Trade Section who said he bought his quartz SMP for around $500 on eBay. Take a look around there, or look on TimeZone Sales Corner. Or you can save a bit more money and get a rep SMP ... I remember V was selling one, and there'll be others around too.

Get a custom-made HKTan And I like that look with the strap... I have a Zenith with a dark blue dial and a denim lizard skin strap, maybe I should try that strap on my SMP Chrono and see how it looks

I'm not sure which of these need AR - I'm pretty sure the 028A doesnt though.

Done! hmmm your name on here always reminds me of the Silver Surfer!

Ah you got there before me again, but luckily that doesn't mean I will be missing out, as I'm in for one too

This thread was originally in General Discussion to inform more people of this availability, but I guess it got moved here

The PAM autos I have are 028, 029, and 063... would it be appropriate for these? I may be in on a couple anyway in case I go for other auto PAMs later on (eg. PAM194 if it's ever in titanium, or a 7750 GMT PAM).

I don't think many have noticed and it almost passed me by so it's worth posting a link here: Correct font Panerai datewheels These datewheels are available for the ETA 2892 and 2893-2 (GMT) movements I believe... take a look at the thread... the GMT and Power Reserve models get one step closer to perfection... To those that don't know the full set of mods: - improved "watchmen" cyclops - correct datewheel (see above link) - palpatine crown - relume - crown guard - PVD (for 028 only) That's as good as it'll get!

Sorry, just noticed this thread! Datewheels required for: 028 029 063

Just to turn your head a little, apparently you can get the Omega Seamaster Pro (previous Bond watch) also in quartz for around $500 used. A used SMP should be believable and it's a great watch

Thursday: silix PAM036 on a V-Veni Tan shrunk strap Now it's evening off to play football, so the Tiger Woods' Gold watch comes out

Yup, but this time it'll be lunch!

Good reply Rob Is it possible for you to supply ETA 7750s at cost as well ? Sending from outside Canada/USA could cause problems with getting ETA 7750s sent out there... or maybe not. Tourbillon will know I guess. I've been meaning to contact you about the IWC but lack of funds keeps pushing everything back... I also have a genuine dial and will find out if the hands need luming. Sorry for the ramblings... back to whether the movment should be serviced... it's upto the individual to decide. Many buy reps because it's cheaper, but the service charges will not be different - if you can find someone to service a rep!

Ask slay about making a fake paypal receipt? If you have more than one watch, then you should get it returned to sender or you may have to pay a lot of duty! Hopefully others will have better solutions than I have.
