It has been sometime since I have been active on the forum. It is nice to see that all of you are still going strong and Enjoying this hobby.

Today I decided that it was time to pull the trigger and buy the watch that will be a nice piece to my collection. This watch represents to me a certain mile stone achievement. In October 2009 I purchased a M Series Rolex Sub because I new they were being discontinued, back then they were going for about $6K new. Last week I sold it for $5800. Some people may think that may be a bad deal but I know it went to a good home.

Onto the pictures Enjoy!

This is GREAT to hear!!!

I have been driving and racing 911s since 1998. I also had a Cayenne S which was my daily driver for 3 years. There is nothing like a 911. I am an old school guy that only like the air cooled ones. Bottom line any Porsche is AWESOME. Do your research and buy the best one that you can afford.

In my opinion the best years for the 911 (993) are 1995-1998. These are BEST of the last Air cooled engines for the 911s. I recently just purchased a 1997 993 cab and it is AWESOME.

The 928 and 968 are great cars and you can pick them up for a reasonable price. Do your self a favor and look around on the rennlist forum and you will find a tremendous amount of information. http://www.rennlist.com/

Happy hunting. If you want drop me a PM and we can discuss more.

Thanks

It looks very nice. I never saw a Daytona Zenith with numbers on the dial. I am only familiar with the stick markers. The Sub dials seem to be in the correct position also.

Here is a good video on You tube that Compares the 16523 to the 116523 daytona.

Hope this helps

I am now finally able to post some pictures of my completed 201A project.

This was just back from The Zigmeister to get the serviced and the dial relumed. The Non-Matching dial and hands came out AWESOME.

The watch is mounted on a nicely padded Brown Croc strap.

Thanks for looking.

Very Nice

Mine is on the way back from The Zigmeister. I hope to get it by next week.

Going Stealth Today

true that, S!...

i sometimes laugh at those that are weary of being "called out" by someone for a microscopic difference in reps versus gens...i find it ironic that if anyone really knew watch brands, the bigger question is how does he afford all those Breitlings and PAMs...

That is so true.

This should be interesting.

You need a Bergeon or rep case opener. I am not sure what Die size. You can also try the good old duck tape or rubber ball.

If you need to borrow my Bergeon Die set let me know.

WHAT A TEAM PLAYER

After you remove the screw you need to push the pin out from the side. Mine came out very easy.

The screw is a pressure screw to keep the pin from falling out.

What rebel did you get?

I just ordered some kenko extension tubes to use with my canons

I purchased the EOS Rebel XS with an extra lens 33-75mm.

I have never been much of a Photographer. I just purchased a Canon EOS Rebel so I thought I would try to take some pics of my Favorite watches. I still have a lot to learn about this camera.

Thanks for looking

Custom PVD PAM088 - Strap Culture

Fiddy Movement

PAM 201/a - COACH strap - Blackbard

PAM222 - COACH Strap - Blackbard

AP Safari - Hornback - HKTAN

Skyland - GEN rubber strap

I received my BK YM today from Raijor and was confused about the bezel. Dive watches are uni but in this case it is bi-directional because it is used to time start times for Yacht races (google search). Hence the name of the watch.

Thanks

Thanks

Is the bezel suppose to be Uni or Bi-directional on the BK's YM?

Thanks

This is a GREAT looking watch. The Pencil DLC/PVD color is AWESOME!!!

+1 for HKTAN

I have the Dark Brown for my Safari and it is AWESOME!!!

If there was one ferrai I'd like in my collection it would be this one.

The Ferrari range of replicas have always been considered some of the best out of the box PAMs.

There was a cracking review of this over on RG when this first came , try and look it up.

Mate if you like go for it and don't forget to post some pictures when you do.

Thanks

That is a gen movement inside. Not seen a rep 6497 with that quality of finish! A very beautiful peice!!

I agree this looks like a GEN movement - AWESOME Watch!!!

There are movements out there that are VERY VERY VERY close to the Gen. Here is a picture of the one I have in my FIDDY. I would say it is as close as possible to the GEN. The PANERAI pattern is spot-on, smooth and the engraving is shallow. These are very hard to come by. I have not seen them in a long time.

oops

This movement is pretty much identical, as far as I can see:

Nice movement but the engraving is too deep and not as smooth.

I am thinking about getting a Ferrari edition watch. The California edition is the one that has caught my attention.

Can anyone that purchased this watch comment on the accuracy of this watch?

Thanks for your help.
