  1. Based on the reference books I have, it looks like a mash-up. 5508's according to one book should be a Cal 1530, Mercedes hands, Single line Submariner txt -or- 2 line 100m/330ft Submariner txt. The hands look like they are off a 1953 Explorer 6298 (Subs only used Pencil hands (6200's), Sword Hands (mil spec), and Mercedes hands) Even the dial looks like it was some form of Explorer re-dial minus the Explorer txt. To me this looks like an Explorer I and Submariner had a baby. Definitely not a 1958 5508 IMHO.
  2. Wish UN would make a non-complication version of this...
  3. Here is the official trouble ticket on the subject: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?autoco...mp;showticket=8 This will save clearing your cookies, etc...
  4. Nice "Rat Look". You need wear that while rolling around in a rusty/primered Porsche 356 or Old Bug.
  5. I have nothing against quartz for a true tool "wrist computer", for certain tasks. (When they can make a 'mechanical' heart rate monitor w/GPS for fitness endeavors, I will scorn quartz) On the flip side if there is NO seconds hand or other complications, or clear case backs, what the hell-- why not. Why not a PAM 112 variant that has a closed case back. ??? No soul, maybe...
  6. Here is my 177 on a Strap Culture Anchor #105 w/ Beige Stitch. Dial is picking up a blue reflection from the sky, it is really more black than that... (This watch in on the bubble for me, I might be selling/trading to get into PVD or classic 111h.)
  7. Here you go: http://www.rwg.cc/members/Bracelet-Rattle-Fix-t93590.html
  8. Thanks for the video clip, I love Pussy! (See Avatar <- ) Watch looks awesome. My 18mm RAF should be here this week also. I still need to drill my lug holes, etc on my 6536 project.
  9. Great collection. Your first pic has changed my mind on the submersible. It was my least favorite PAM until now. Thanks, now I need to spend more money LOL.
  10. OpenDNS does not like that address. Sure it is correct? Maybe a cut-n-paste from your browser?
  11. Does this mean you have an available dial? I am in search of a DRSD dial...
  12. IMHO the Metta like, or leather straps with dark reddish hues look best when going for contrast. If going from compliment, a nice flat black strap also works.
  13. As a new Pam enthusiast, I can relate. There was a similar post elsewhere where everything from "conspiracy theories" between rep makers and the brands, to the fact we are 1% of the people who "care" was postulated. Most people settle for the Canal Street or Chinese street vendors, so we are a secondary market. The same applies to Rolex. Why don't we have a 14060 flawless submariner. It should be the easiest of ALL subs to replicate. A closed case-back, no-date, no-seconds hand PAM should be super easy. Heck with a closed case back and no seconds hand, you could probably get away with a quartz movement-- as long as everything visual was perfect-- I'd buy. If they were perfect, what fun would it be learning, and doing mods.
  14. Did you reapply the Office Service Packs after reinstallation? http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/download...0798601033.aspx Scroll down for Office SP3.
  15. Very cool. Future career maybe? The first picture, at first glance, I thought the 3rd "hand" was her foot. Time to get my eyes checked...LOL.
  16. Here is a list of light weight apps. The very first one on the list has automation tools. However, I use Irfanview and have not noticed a speed issue... http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/8-simple-free...are-under-2-mb/
  17. Absolutely beautiful. Is the movement a Gen ETA 6497-1 or -2?
