Strange that everyone has missed my point about that first watch........................can someone please tell me where they can buy a strap like that for $19.85
Ken
It's a steal! Congrats!
In the meanwhile, I got a Bob sharkskin @ 14.99 s/h included
The 2nd watch is clearly from Dali's.

Whatever floats peoples' boats, right?I still think she a real female and I'm gonna continue to believe it.

Some added info on a similar rep I saw (unsure if it was the same model by TTK, though):
Movement: 7750 -- like gen
Caseback: unconsistent with 228, as it said:
ocean chronometer
OP6554 (which is from PAM 088 and 089)
F00xx/2200 (more consistent with 089 than 228)
Reconsidering the whole thing on those new info, this watch is closer to a 089 than a 228. Sort of a 089 in SS and with blue dial and subdial. A 089/228 bastard.
But... on Paneristi's site they say:
"The F (2003) series added a further bracelet model with a new dial"
...still, the titanium issue is not trivial...
Uhm.... more search needed...

Marco-
You are the man. I will have to upgrade to version 2.1.
If I wanted one before (which I did) I really want one now. Thanks Warren. Table is already there, ready for you -- and for anyone who wants it.
Btw, please remember to give me that info that you know...

Thanks for the advice, Mahler!
I more recently found some magic markers (Promarker by Letraset) that seem well suited for the need. They come in tons of nuances - even a bright yelllow declared as 'gold'.
Surely your solution is better - even if a little less easy - and I'll come to it if the outcome by the markers should not result to my appointment.
(Now making a bookmark on this post).
ps. non sono molto concentrato con l'inglese quindi evito di scrivere un "ideogramma"... se ritieni possa essere interessante e qualcuno lo chiede puoi tradurlo con parole semplici per evitarmi figuracce ?Mmmm... don't think so.

I will surely visit local eyeglass shops, thanks sssurfer
You are welcome, glad if this will turn out useful, let us know.

I looked into it a tad more and I have the PAM chrono 60 and the PAM 111.
I love the excellent looks of the PAM's especially with the awesome SS bands.
:sss: (stands for sssurfer

I'll welcome you as soon as you'll remember what PAM models you own...

I seem to remember that a member found screws that fitted not from a watchsmith, but from an optician / eyeglass shop.

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.
I wonder how one can have sex with two women at the same time whichever they are. Either you need two penises, or a very long penis (in which case the nearest of the two women is also going to get seriously hurt).

@ ravishingrick: ugh, actually jimmyzfu's was the only one I did not try on my own. I was speaking on what I heard from other members' experiences. On what you say, now I wonder whether they were including jimmy's crystals in those experiences.
On the other hand, the crystal I got from exclusive_discount_uk along with their case is a gorgeous one, thick, and AR coated. Even my watchsmith (who is fitting the new sapphire cyclops on it to reassemble my 028A) complimented about it. I have not it in my hand right now (I should have it again tomorrow), but I am quite positive it was 35.5 mm.
@ kritz: stay away from x-jewelry! Even better, do a search here and look.
I am going to file a dispute on them, or to leave a negative feedback at least, as soon as I'll be done with the mail exchanging with them about the issue.
From them I got a class crystal (tested with 4 different tests, including thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity with proper tools), thin, and even low-quality as a glass (lots of whitish inclusions). Barely usable even as a glass crystal.
And yes, it was advertised as sapphire.
Btw: even the advertised gasket was missing.
-
I found what is supposed to be a sappire one at a reasonable price....
Wow, please share where you found it as this is valuable info to many members (me included
)!So far I know exclusive_discount_uk , x-jewelry, and jimmyzfu. All from eBay.
exclusive_discount_uk (i.e. Homer): great quality at great price. But you have to buy the whole case along with the crystal.
x-jewelry: 10 USD + 12 USD s/h. ---> Got glass, not sapphire.
jimmyzfu: great quality at good price.

snow, I am a complete ignorant in Ro|ex, but this is one of the most beautiful watches I ever saw.
It is making me even consider to enter into the Ro|ex world.
Congratulations really!

one of their findings was that the trade in counterfeit goods finances terrorism
That makes me remember of a certain smoking gun finding...
-
I also seem to remember that the gasket on which the crystal sits, and that seals the crystal, is made of teflon -- at least this is what my watchsmith told me.

I thought maiale had something to do with pigs but that wouldn`t be right would it.
Yes, you are right. Actually, 'maiale' is just the Italian word for 'pig'.
Italian assaulter on WWII rode torpedoes resembling like hot-dogs without bread (i.e. wurstels), but given the fascist rejection of any anglophone words they were simply called 'maiali' (plural for 'maiale').

No problem. If all my English mispellings were that little, I would be happy.
