  1. Don't know if this has been covered before, but I was browsing eBay and found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FLYING-TOURBILLION-W...7QQcmdZViewItem The tourbillon looks great, but now, for an extra $500, you can have one with a power reserve too The rose gold version will be coming out soon I could go for this... nice dress watch
  2. I think what they are talking about in regards to pushpins is the strap changing system... They have only removed all those screws from the underside of the bracelet I think. The new strap changing system is similar to the one used by IWC, where you depress a spring loaded pusher and can remove the pin instead of unscrewing it. This first showed up on the PAM 233 and will be implemented on upcoming models. I like it better than screws, as the lug bars don't strip and you dont scratch the case when unscrewing.
  3. Well... seeing that this is 99.99% a BOYS CLUB....and 99.99% I would suspect are hetrosexual... I think your post is quite inappropriate... Vicky baby... give it a rest... please You like cheese with your burritos? That's ok... eventually... all colors shine through
  4. (sorry for the plagarism Viennawatch... I just thought your request was the perfect template ) I've been on the look out for our dear Finepics... Unfortunately I have no been able to reach him in any manner... Would anyone have an idea where he might be or if he will be back to GIVE US WHAT WE'VE SENT HIM? Perhaps does anyone know of someone within the UK that takes care of TRACKING PEOPLE DOWN? Would be great help! Regards, SWDIVAD
  5. I have paid for several crowns with him and never received them I think I'l start a "Where's Finepics (Mark)" thread
  6. She likes this too... made by Aaron Tan, cut from a blue LV Vernis bag
  7. This beauty was on the wrist today at casual office day Now... switched to old faithful PVD 196, on OEM butterscotch tantalium... that's a keeper for Saturday too : Sunday will be the good ol' 89 on blue simona yum yum !!HAGWE!!
  8. PVD 196 on OEM Tantalum butterscotch!!! ^^^ This has been my favourite combo... The Tantalum/butterscotch strap goes great with PVD!!
  9. I've been using Dells for the last 12 years and the company and products have always been good to me. Just about to upgrade and will go with Dell again.
  10. Nice watch, congrats on your plan. Yes, well 99% of the time anyway. Yes... expensive as all buggery. No. You're welcome. D
  11. Actually... I bought the watch for ther movement, which is truly a wonderful movement. Too bad it felt like a pig in a party dress... reversed lol. Just didn't like the dial and with my crappy vision, couldn't read it easily either I bought a PAM 91... so it wasn't too clunky <g>
  12. Here's mine... Sold it because of lack of readability/cluttered dial and bought my first Panerai
  13. Yeah... pure class Sorry David but Slays right...Ken
  14. Awesome! Strap sure aged nicely... Funny how I purchased this watch because of this thread and then sold it to buy something else I may end up getting another it's looking so nice!! Wear it well^^
  15. Just to add some info here... I will be the one getting the PVD organized from this end... here in Australia, if everyone is interested in going this route. Chronus will be organizing evryone's watches and getting it all to me. The reason for this is that I have not the time to deal with everyone individually, but do have the time to organize the total of the watches, getting them to and from the factory, and back to the owners. The process will include acid dipping the components, micro bead blasting, and TiALN coating. It will all be done at one location/factory, so no multiple handling... decreasing the risk of issues arising. This will mimic what I have done on my PAM 196, which has come out beautifully, although my photos don't do the overall appearance justice: This TiAlN coating is not jet black, but a very dark grey/charcoal which has a very slight violet hue. The coating is very scratch resistant and is approaching diamond like hardness. This is the same coating we engineers apply to wear components in machinery and also is used to coat metal and woodworking tooling for surface hardness and to prevent tool wear. The micro bead blasting gives the material a very nice satiny finish and also case hardens the material... similar to the tegiment technology used by Sinn. Price is yet to be determined, that will come when we have an estimate on the interest, but Chrono's above prices are typical of a small run. The more we get in the less expensive it will be per unit. Sorry Willith, if you're not in Australia, gun components (or knives, weapons of any kind) will not be possible due to customs/security issues. I highly doubt my price will drop to $120... if someone can get a quality job done for that, then all the power to them... I might even send mine! As for RBJ's prices... If you want to go that route, then go for it... the rest can all read about it later as we have so many times before. Please don't PM or email me regarding this, leave all questions in this thread. As mentioned above, I truly don't have the time to deal with individual questions or issues.
  16. A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the counter and says, "Hi... You know, I just HATE drawing welfare checks. I'd really rather have a job." The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You'll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The starting salary is $90,000 a year." The guy, wide-eyed, says, "You're Bullshittin' me!" The Social Worker says, "Yeah, well... You started it."
  17. "PANERAI PAM 252 DAYLIGHT I SERIES CHRONOGRAPH 44MM" Here this one feedback seller listing a PAM 196 as a 252!! Not sure if it's a real 196 or a rep (don't have my glasses on), but he could have at least tried a bit harder, no? Amazing that there's 34 bids on this watch already... eBay auction number 330154924189 Link to Auction
  18. I'd highly recommend Marcello C... Best quality divers watch under $1000 IMO: http://www.marcelloc-watches.com/watches/index1.html
  19. Beautiful watch Kruzer Unfortunately, mine, with the same mods/parts (relume, jimmy fu, palp crown) are still with Finepics... haven't heard from him in a month now since sending him my watch in February
  20. Black one is nice... I wonder what the second crown is for... maybe a HEV?
  21. Big job V... need several pieces of software and a prayer. Better to find a local shop to do it for you.
