grilly

last night at the Willie Concert

Today

If you look on Joshdrew's website, they claim that it is tested and waterproofed down to 1000m, so I don't see why not, you should be o.k.

I have the same one on order, and it should be here by Friday, I can't wait either.

Enjoy!!!

Nice!

I broke down after seeing M's Yellow dial Seawolf and ordered one from Andrew. Swiss on rubber and I can't friggin wait, but I'm wondering. Does anybody have a seawolf from Andrew and have you taken it in the water? Is it really good for just your normal pool/beach? That's what I intended it for.

Hate to ramble here, but I posted the same question 6 months ago and I'm in a mood to post:)

Unless you have owned a PVD watch before, I would be really sure that is what you want before you buy one. Try one on somewhere to see how it looks on the wrist first. PVD watches are funny. They can look sweet as hell in pics, but if you not used to them they can look awkward to some folks. I've seen people go out and spend $800 on a PVD pam and a PVD Skyland to turn around and sell them a month later for a major loss just because they didn't realize how they would look on the wrist.

Some things to think about.

I'm not sure if you are set on a Pam or not, but I would browse the forums a bit more before you go with a Pam as a first rep. I've been a member for 7 months or so and now have 10 reps and I love all of them.

If I were you I would go with a nice Breitling Skyland Avenger V3 or Swiss SFSO. These two watches are perfect IMO. The can be matched up with a SS bracelet for all occasions, a rubber strap for the summer look, or a nice custom leather strap for a more dressy look. Your common civilian will not know a Breitling and will think it's the most kick a$$ watch they ever seen, it will take either a fellow rep aficionado or an AD to spot the "tells", and you yourself will sometimes forget it's a rep. There not cheap, but you can also find them for very reasonable prices if you hunt around.

The Omega UPO is a nice watch, but Omega is more well known and the crystal will need chief's AR treatment for the crystal or it's a major tell IMO.

Only reason I try to steer new members away from Pams right off the bat is because once you buy one, next thing you know you have 4 Pams, 9 straps, and no money:)

You can't go wrong with a Breitling. I love em.

Looks great. Blue lume? man that's just cool!

The lume is not really blue, it's just my crappy lume shot skills. It works like a torch though.

thanks for the great comments.

Just got this back from Vac. I knew I wanted Gunny's Pilot strap for this as soon as I saw it. Two months in the making from purchase of the watch to the final product, but my BP is finally alive. By the way, this freaking strap is sweet. The Vintage on this watch is just too classy.

Rookie Lume shot for kicks

I'm on the hunt for a 195 or a 201 PVD at this very moment. I already have the strap on order.

As for the "fiddy", I'm still not sold on the 47mm Pams. I'm a fairly big guy at 6'1 200lbs, but I don't have Stallone's wrists. I'm not sure I could pull it off. I like them and I know you can do crazy stuff w/ straps, but I think I'll stick with the 44mm as long as they will hold me, though I'm sure it won't be long until I have to try a Radiomir.

Thanks for the compliments and input.

You guys know the story. Joined up mostly feeling Omegas and Breitlings. Saw some pics, read some reviews over the past 6 months and here I am. I am addicted to Pams. I can't stop myself. Here are the first three which make up my full rotation while my Skyland, SA, and UPO ride the pine. It's kinda sad, in a great way:)

Any thoughts on the 207A on that strap?

First up, DSN 207a on a Heroic 18 Poseidon. Love this watch.

Next up the 111e with some Vacclum action on a SC Legend strap

Lastly, 176 TI fresh off the boards on Gunny CaitlanII. Gunny is working on a Vernon for this badboy as we speak.

I'm rolling new straps this weekend. Today I'm on the 111e.

Tomorrow I'm back to the skyland

looks great on your skyland...love this strap...i have it on my white dial Navi World GMT...and plan to try out my Blacksteel on it when i have some time - Hooky inspired...

what buckle do you have on it?...is this Peter's v3 (updated v1) Skyland version?...been thinking of getting the blue version...the color looks great...

R-

Thanks Rhack1. I picked up a 22mm Breitling buckle here off the boards. Yea, this is Peter's V3 and I love it. I was a little worried about the Mona with the Blue dial at first, but I think it came together nicely.

My straps from Gunny arrived today and first thing I did was strap up the Mona on my Skyland. I don't think this thing will be coming off anytime soon.

That's another Gunny strap (CaitlanII) on my 111e.

You also need a strong wrist Barny!! The SA is a big ol' beast!! It is a brute of a watch. Unless you have a big arm and wrist attached to it, maybe you could consider the Avenger Skyland. Some great pieces out there and the 'Blacksteel' version is awesome!!

Any help, just shout bud.

Sixx

You can get Vaccum from here on the board to service a 7750 for $200 I believe. Some of the others may be cheaper.

The newer A7750 is not as problematic as the older ones. I just bought a SA and it runs like a champ. Of course, if you really want to make sure your A7750 lasts as long as possible, you should look into having it serviced by one of the many mod and repair guys that are available here on RWG. You should also do a search on reviews of the SA. Not as many problems with the latest version.

My new addition was up last night. A Vac's 111e in front of my Howard Miller Grand.

Today the Monster Super Avenger is sneaking out from under the cuff.

New acquisition this evening

Cool Allergy Doc. I'm going to try that tonight and see how it does.

Sounds fun. I'm down.

I like the crown guard pin mod. Essentially pusing the pin up from the underside, and flattening it flush to the CG. Nice piece.

Thanks Toad.

So you got the super lume upgrade? How bright is it? Does it last all night?

Yes, this one has superlume. How long do you usually have to charge it for it glow all night? This one lasts a good while, but I haven't really checked it out.

This is the type of stuff I am looking for. This is my first "real" Pam and I'm trying to learn what the difference is between say one of these $300-$350 111 and say a Little Hero or another one of the premier modded Pams.

I actually have Angus's 111e from another member on the way and I'm thinking of either selling/trading this one or sending it off to Vac or an unbranded color dial. Thoughts?

I received this yesterday from my boy Peter at WS and I'm really impressed with it. Decided to takes some pics before I get the straps in just to highlight the watch itself. I'm not the most experienced person when it comes to pams so I'm asking you guys what you think. How is the quality here? What can be improved? What can I have modded to set this thing off?

I will say that the lume is really strong this one. I have not figured out how to take good lume pics yet, but believe me, it's pretty good here.

I'm liking it so far. Here's the pics. Thanks for looking.

Damn, that dial is clean. Enjoy!

Nice! I love Oris watches. There is just something about them that sticks out to me.

What size is the case on this watch?

I just can't quit my skyland.

Hope you get to feeling better Vac.
