Nice! I'm assuming that they only make the black sub-dial GMT with a bracelet? At least a 44mm one.

Congrats! When can we see the pictures?
I think the day you stop acquiring PAMs is the day the world will end Tanya

Nice one rosnik! All you need is a gen case and...
-
Congrats, looks absolutely lovely!
-
Congrats on your purchase, it looks absolutely stunning. I see that Tag are also using movements with Incabloc shock protection.
-
Thanks for the nice comments guys.
If it wasn't for Domi, I'd have a few dead pieces by now

Seleven,
can you please tell me info about your A/R crystal?
Sure Rosnik. I bought it from the guys at 2geek. Its basically a replacement crystal with AR that is supposedly closer to OEM specs, hence it still has a slight blue tint. You can purchase it from here. You can find comparison pics of the crystal vs. the standard rep crystal here.

Another example of Domenico's lume work:

Thanks guys!
Domenico supplied both the day and date wheels. He first only replaced the day wheel (miscommunication on my side), but without charging me anything for it.

My 3717 is back from Domenico's workshop. While installing Takashi

She said she used regular air mail
http://www.track-chinapost.com/ and then China Post Register Mail, the number starts with RR but i don't think this will be a number TNT will recognise.
I've called TNT customer service in the past and they can trace the RR numbers if it has already arrived in Holland and has been scanned in their system.

Two great looking PAMs, nice one.
-
Congrats on acquiring the 3717, its a great watch.
Mine just came back from Domenico and I'm sure you'll be just as happy with his work as I am.

I was expecting a question on the crown-case spacing
But yeah, looks quite centered to me.

Looks like sead/nebmo are out of stock and won't be making any more.
Guess I just have to hope toro bravo replies...
Nice watch goin6633. Any chance you could post a pic with a straight shot of the CG without the buckle in the way?
Cheers!
Here's another example of torobravo's CG (on my 088)

Should have mentioned Sead's section is under the name of Super Mirrors (and he's sead1999)
His section is right there below torobravo's on RG. Both will provide you with a CG, but you may not always get a reply instantly.
Edited because I have a memory like a sieve.

i believe they don't offer a mix cg brushed/plished but hey, pm TB & Sead and ask them, may be they can refinish it before send it to you.
If not it's not the hardest thing to do imo, take of the lever and turn polished into brushed with a scotch brite pad for example.
As HeadToucha put it, they would probably refinish it for you if you ask them.
It takes less than a minute to take the CG apart and brush it with the Scotch Brite pad. That and a Cape Cod are two things that everyone who plays with reps should have.
-
Toro Bravo and Sead are both dealers on Repgeek. Have a look in their sections there and you should find more info on that.
A more expensive alternative is Little Hero, he makes (or used to make) really nice crownguards. However his is quite a bit pricier than TB's or Sead's.

Well, lets hope that it will only be a couple days delays. They're hoping that the winds will move the ash clouds later next week, but you never know.
Damn, I really chose the wrong week to order a watch...

Next to Zigmeister, there's also vaccum (check his section here on this forum).
I used hijack from RG for my PAM 088:

Dont just wear it and enjoy it mate
Thanks, I will.
Hi mate
To be honest I didn't get the Brit joke either. Luckily Pete's British decency forces him to explain.
About the dial: I like your watch very much and I think the AR is a cool feature (who cares if it's not gen-like). But you don't need to be possessed to feel the urge to fix the dial problem. It simply needs fixing.
Send it to Domenico, he's quite close to you and very reliable.
Sorry for telling the awful truth as I see it.
Val.
Thanks for the suggestion Val, I didn't even realize it was a fixable issue and had just accepted the flaw.
-
Ah, I get it.
Well, I thought that another explanation for the misalignment was because the hole for the stem/crown tube was tapped a bit lower that it should have. Dammit, now I'm becoming slightly obsessed with it again.
-
Honestly, I think I'm still missing it
-
Something is off....
Dial is crooked in the case or printing is off.
The first photo it is really off.
You're absolutely right, the DSN dial is slightly crooked. Only noticed it after a few months, the 3 sits lower than it should in relations to the crown. It bothered me for a while, but I stopped caring... its a rep after all.
No its not the dial its the case thats off!
Thanks for sharing how much did they charge for the AR mate and how long did it take?
Congrats and enjoy mate
Thanks Pete. I'm pretty sure its the dial that's crooked, but could be that the crown tube is tapped lower than it should.
As for the AR, I got it during the xmas special for around 30 Euro. Took two and a half months, longer than expected, however seeing the results I don't really mind.
How long does it take from davidsen to The Netherlands

Should be pretty quick. Last time I ordered from him, it took less than a week from HK to Amsterdam.
Then again, with TNT Post anything can happen...
I wouldn't worry Sander, you should be fine
