Oh I see. You might have been the 1st one to discover that the 1st April joke also makes those links not working. Even I was unaware of that until I read your post. Well, I suppose that one can only wait that the joke is over, then the links should turn working again. Anyway, that spreadsheet is a little out-of-date and bugged. I am currently working on a new release based on official OP catalogues that I only got after releasing that version.

The 115 from Paul: http://www.bestswiss-watches.com/product_i...roducts_id=1277 http://www.bestswiss-watches.com/product_i...roducts_id=1490 The 219 from Joshua (warning: CG upside down!): http://watchwindersworld.com/pn21901-destr...6497-p-776.html http://watchwindersworld.com/pn21902-destr...6497-p-397.html Andrew's left-handed version of the 005 (warning: fantasy!): http://www.ttwristwatch.com/index.php?main...;products_id=79 Andrew's 115 (warning: CG upside down!): http://www.ttwristwatch.com/index.php?main...;products_id=91

If it weren't with blue hands, it could be a 115 (L-swiss-L instead of T-swiss-T leaves the 022 out). Surely it is not a 031. The 031 is this one:

T, you must be crazy. I am a certain age old. I can't bear that stuff w/out any consequences. Well, that was fun indeed! :lol: Well, that was even more fun indeed! :lol:

Stem tube (w/spring) de-soldered from the crown. Crown replacement needed. Bad quality crown from the source. Where did you get that watch? (PM me if you prefer)

I'll let you know, as I got Micro Mask and I am soon going to try on a test dial. I did not receive SL yet, but I think that on such a test I may also use that other [censored] from Ofrei that I already own. Do you mean a tiny horizontal section at a time? On each index/numeral marker, several horizontal layers of paste?

That poll is biased. It reflects how many of those watches have been purchased not less than how good they are. That is natural, as anyone usually feels easy on recommending only a watch that he has seen and worn in 1st person.

Where are the cards?

Very few customs in the world care about what leaves the country. Very few customs in the world don't care about what enters the country.

Ok, I can agree on that. Actually, I too pointed out the date font in mt 1st post here. But, about the movement, it is just a bad habit of us PAM lovers to demand a movement consistent with the gen (naturally this is because OP, differently from other brands, did not use in-home movements until a very recent age). Being the 104 caseback not see-through, who cares about the look of the movement? And, about the quality, I did not get one single problem from any of my Asian 21Js -- and I have 7 of them.

Ok, let's play the game then. On what evidences is your opinion based?

You need new lenses. And where a 104 would be? 'cos, if we deviate from the 104, then Silix also offers a 027 or a 090, with fully functional PR, @ 80 USD. Besides of that, Silix's stock clearance is out since March 23 (judging on what they stated).

I actually ordered two C3 and one (just for the sake of experimenting) light blue set. At this point they should be very close to be delivered. I'll let you know right after ruining my first two or three dials.

I've been around that pig for ages, but never been bold enough to actually get it. Congrats!

I simply can't understand how can you tell that they are not so different from the genuine. Just look at the teeth feet. And, as I already said, there are no black-oxide gens. All Lello's - Davidsen's - Palpatine's - Homer's crowns (in order of appearance) are infinitely better.

I am a great fan of the 104, I have two of them (and one of his little brother, the 050). So I plaude your choice, and even more on you getting a touch of what PAMs are. I also got something very similar as my 1st PAM rep. And if you like it, that's all that matters. But now I also have to honestly tell you: one can't even look at that watch. Keep it in a safe (and dark) place and love it as your 1st PAM. Then add 68 bucks to its price and get this one, you'll be glad from doing it. Only obvious faults: date font and caseback inscriptions. But great lume and great overall look. Great value for the price!

Both they went @ about 100 bucks each! Plenty of noobs / non-RWGers there... ... I hope.

Very good, don't miss to keep us posted!

To have a 104 dial fit into a Jimmy's case I had to file it down a little. Very little, though. The good news is that Davidsen crown tubes fit very well in Jimmy's cases.

Very interesting, vaccum, thanks for sharing.

Found @ less than 5 Km from my home, 3 EUR. Thanks once again! Sure, but protecting the neighbours won't harm... Being a thoroughful smoker, my hands are all but steady.

@ freddy333: Really thanks for your cohomprensive tutorial on how to relume hands. I am soon going to try it (and on numeral markers as well -- naturally in their own different way) as soon as I'll receive some SL that I am waiting for. But what I meant was not that the method that I envised in that other post was the correct way to relume hands, just that I found troubles in using painters tape to cover the parts not to be lumed. Troubles not from tape residuals, but because when you strip the tape off, the paste borders do not come out neat. BTW, if you like grosser grain than SL, you may have a look at ReadySetGlo on eBay in case you did not already check them. @olivia: thanks for the Micro Mask hint, it could prove exactly what I was looking for -- and for several other projects too, besides of relume. (I doubt that it can be found here in my country, but what the heck, the net is here to do that, isn't it?)

Yes, but the problem is the same, isn't it? I tried on hands just because painters tape surely was safe on metal surfaces. You may want to have a look here.

Acetone helps in removing the remains of glue. The soldering iron needs to stay in contact with the cyclops. A hair gun does not provide heat enough for the need.
