Why a PM? PAM 027. Silixprime. 80 USD!!! An incredible deal! http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1486 (Ok, PM sent too )

1 - PAM 050 2 - Josh 3 - I gave it to my wife who really needed an easy-to-read watch (at our age we are becoming a litlle presbiopic ), and PAMs are unbeatable at it. So, a 40 mm PAM was perfect to her need. And so, I am now missing it so much...

My 147 comes out from the back too. Flavor, which model are you referring to, precisely?

I subscribe. Btw, that gift by wan is worth is weight in pure gold...

I am not so hard against that guy. You seem to take it for granted that if someone is wearing a rep, then he is trying to fool the others. Maybe he simply liked that watch and he could not afford the gen (a likely assumption, considering $1.2 million). Rather, he showed quite a good taste in choosing that watch (which most people are even unaware of its very existence). My point is: in a word where everyone can get a good copy at a reasonable price, we are going to meet people with oustanding watches often and often. So it will not make for an attempt to impress people anymore: seeing and showing Daytonas, PP, etc, will become (has become?) common. In such a word, 99% of pricey watches are reps, and anyone seeing such a watch thinks it is a rep, so noone can try to impress people with his watch anymore. In such a word, when someone wonders whether a watch is a gen or a rep it means that HE is interested about the guy's financial income, not that the other is wearing it in order to show "Hey, I have $$$!" SF? We'll see... As for now, I give anyone the benefit of doubt, especially when he is wearing a watch clearly too expensive.

Depending on how much you are willing to spend on that watch, you have two options: The Zigmeister and RIP.

SuperLuminova comes in three colors, named C1, C3 and C7. C1 is white. C3 is light green (the one you want). C7 is blue-green (also said aqua). You just have to ask Davidsen for C3 SL on both hands and markers, or apply C3 on hands by yourself. Applying SL only on hands is not a very difficult task -- just apply it on the downside. Hope this helps.

Omigosh, so it happened again?!? Folks, really is there nothing we can do to save our dealers from this sh*t? Did it already occur one year ago? Is it just a problem from an expanding audience (number of buyers)... or is it something else? EL, I envy your cool blood. Even on this sad occurrence you are able to wring a smile (even if a bitter smile) from me with your writing skills. And, naturally, even a chargeback because a piece did not meet expectations would be questionable... but becuase it did not exceed expectations... well, yes, that is a royal treatment! We should know the name.

Now I see the point. If I correctly understand, you are in the hunt for a destro CG with the lever placed asimmetrically -- while Davidsen's one is placed symmetrically. Yes, not funny, I'm not aware of any such a beast around. Best wishes for your hunt, I see it hard.

Hi Warren, I am quite confused. Some time ago I had my watchsmith trying to put a Lello's 2893 datewheel on my 2892A2 and he said it was a complete misfit. Not just the well known line-up problems, but a major misfit that made the datewheel completely useless on the 2892A2. This would confirm what you said. Still, official ETA technique communications state both for 2892A2 and 2893 exactly the the 2557/1 (91.440) datewheel. So, do you have any other info, by chance? I am a bit concerned, as this issue is not trivial about using Finepic's forecoming 2893 datewheels on our 028A PAMs...

Putting a bag of silica gel in the warm place together with the watch may even speed up the happy end. Btw, better letting the watch completely cool down before reinserting the crown, to test whether moisture has really vanished also under normal temperature conditions.

Some time ago I read of a member who took into the auction using as a name 'fake_and_seller_knows'

If you have a rep with a CG pin that you can tell it's upside down at glance, then it must be a very good rep... Out of joke, the only two major contra-indications (naturally besides inscriptions like 'reg TM') I've found on turning the CG upside down are: 1) asymmetrical CGs, like in this and this posts 2) unlined screws, as wheaton26 found. I also feel that opening a lever from bottom to top would be more annoying than the usual way, as gravity would make the lever tend to continuously close -- especially if it is the usual rep loose lever... So, may I ask you why this funny question? Making left-handed right-handed, or what?

I am no expert in R0lex, so I may be wrong, but did you already check Ofrei?

Which watch for?

I got that same doubt some time ago. You may want to have a look here.

Apologies, it was because of my bad English. I meant: let us know if you get straps and if they look and feel good.

my favourite:

As the woman was young and they already had three children... yes, I suppose they did not use vaseline in any other way than the declared one!

I just wonder where on it you had the strap attached, and how you read the time from it

I agree with Kruzer. I feel sorry for the fool who got Finepics, one of the greatest assets of our community, disappointed. Relume, cyclops, datewheels, PVD... maybe crystals, AR coating, crowns... and surely other tons of projects I am unaware of... ah, baaaahhhhh!!!

I wonder whether the AR -- or, even more, the anti-scratch -- coating can influence the results of the water drop beading test...

All clear now. Thank you.

Thanks for the hint. Let us know if you make a deal.

Funny. Nice.
