If you missed it, you might want to have a look at this.

Yes, I remember that thread of yours, licious. Still, as the seller admitted he was actually looking to get $105.000 for that watch, we might actually be looking at a close head-to-head rush. That watch did not get sold. Let's see what happens on 'mine'.

Flav, you might appreciate THIS.

As the 077 has been made in an unique edition of 2 (two) units, it is priceless and not likely to be worn at anyone's dinner other than with a bodyguards full army around. It is also a very characterized model (no black/charcoal dial, btw), it would not leave you in doubt about it. Conversely, a fake tourbillon is a distinctive feature of the worst, cheapest, low-end PAM reps around. Something we are not used to look at.

I find it a pretty decent rep even without comparing it to the old one.

I would rather say all markers are C1 and all hands are C3 (or C3-C1 mix). Actually, in spite of their daylight name, C3 is more blueish and C1 more greenish -- aren't they?

Sash's model is one-button like the gen, so it must be the new release. I just noticed two other (minor?) flaws though: The gen case shows sort of an indent where the pushbutton is. The rep seems to have the indent on the back side, but not on the fron side. Pics for comparison (gen first): The other (very small) flaw, as you can see, is the crown shape.

Thanks for making it clear, Reg. That also reminds me of a certain EU country...

I do not have it, but looking at Sash's pics and OP pics I can say: apart from the unconsistent movement, it looks quite not a bad rep. Minor flaws (unsure, they could just be a matter of pictures): - Fonts and markers generally a little bolder than gen, especially in the minute counter at 3 o'clock and in the L swiss made L writing. - Possibly, the color of hands and cronograph counters' borders is a little too dark. Major flaws: - Totally different movement. - Case/bezel/buttons: SS instead of white gold.

A good starting point to find genuine PAM parts is: *** nowhere *** sorry

Dear Friends, I have just read and signed the online petition: "OBBLIGHIAMO LE MULTINAZIONALI DEL PETROLIO A MIGLIORARE L'AMBIENTE" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/idrogeno/ I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself. Best wishes, sssurfer

The 104 is the PAM I love most. A real beauty, congrats!

Too big -- no doubt. But as for the angle, I'm all but sure it's wrong.

Thanks for the advice... but as I want to get skilled on the SL powder (also about mixing and diluting it, I mean) I think it may be worth to have a go directly with that type of thing. (Actually, testing the Micro Mask is not my primaty target, it is just a secondary target). BTW, and just for anyone's information: I ordered the Bergeon Paste (and paid for it) on eBay from FindingKing about three months ago, and they did not deliver.

Just a lttle heavier to wear than the 203...

Welcome to a man of good taste Well, maybe I don't often enjoy a good cigar... but I surely smoke a lot bad cigarettes!

Good to know. I just wonder why...

Actually I'm just going to make experiences on some low-end-rep dials that I got on my beach last year, and on some Jimmy's dials that are on their way to me. I am not ready to risk any of my beloved-even-if-cheap reps right now, I am too much of a newbie on this. The stuff that I got from Ofrei was not the luminous paste, but the A*F kit (luminows powder + varnish + thinner).

Well, a very original and bold project. Congrats!

I too may testimont that Joshua stands after his products (and customers) even months after the purchase. Surely other members more expert in Omega than me (I am a PAM guy) will help more. Just, my humble guess is: - No guarantee that original Omega parts will fit your rep. - Still, if the original tube is a little thinner than yours, a little glue between the case and the tube will do the trick. - No need for a new stem.

I don't care if it is a 1st April fool! I WANT IT!!!! Who have I to kill? (BTW, thanks for the great pics anyway...)

You are welcome. Actually, the selection is limited from the very source. The only left-handed models (that I am sure about, at least) that OP produced were the 022, 026, 056, 115, 117, 123, 217, 219. With the exception of the 217 and Paul's 115, our dealers seem to have tried to satisfy the need for left-handed models by turning the 115 and 219 dial upside down...

I just read this, several days after you posted it Mark. So I am also late in telling you: - Welcome back! - Take care! - Really thanks for the DW, my watchsmith mounted it in a breeze and it is stunning! - I'll wait that you feel better and are less overwhelmed with things to do before PMing you.
