I strongly disagree.... Single AR is probably less than half owrth of double AR but it still looks much much better than no AR

No problem. Plenty of room for any opinions here.

I'd not pay $20 for rep single AR, personally.

I absolutely agree, B. That is why I said "if it is real AR...".

Personally, I would pay to remove rep AR.

Thank you surfer! That's the ticket right there! You'll be the first to see pics of my own cali radiomir fantasy of fantasies!

Great, thanks! I really love fantasy projects.

Hmmm hi, im also doing a similar project but the thing is i think the minifiddy is a 45mm pam, so it carries a 45mm dial (hence the radiomir dial print) which would exactly fit the rad case, so technically the 44mm pam dials would be smaller...

As soon as I have time I'll test the minifiddy dial on a standard 44mm luminor case too. Keep tight.

Curiously, also my barber is fond of watches.

And he has more and better gens than me.

Ok, I tried exatly a minifiddy dial into a blackseal case, which is pretty a standard 45mm radiomir case.

It fits.

As expected, it is even a tiny bit loose -- about 1/3mm in every direction, I would say.

Once the dial is mounted on the movement, and the movement fastened to the case by a good spacer ring, this should be no problem.

I will try it tomorrow and tell you.

may I ask the source of such a beauty?

I bet he will reply the source is an Officine Panerai AD

Don't expect the look of double AR. Single AR is very subtle. Reflections from the crystal's inner side only account for about 25-30% of the whole reflection, so you are not going to get any stunning effects.

The best effect of single AR is erasing reflections from the cylops. If your watch is dateless, it is pretty unworth.

Still, as you are asking about single side AR I assume you are interested in a PAM.

Single side AR is the one of genuine PAMs.

So, if it is real AR and not just a blue tint, at $20 you may go for it even on a dateless watch.

Its not about wrist size...PAM owners just have bigger balls in the watch community.

Few posts but great insight. Congrats!

Congrats, TJ!

I'll keep this in mind should I ever meet that same issue.

It feels good to do it your self doesnt it!

Well... not as good as doing it with a nice woman.

I have a 17cm wrist, and wearing a 212 -- which I think is as thick as a 253 -- is no problem.

A stunner and really great shots!!!

Just

7.) Better Sandwich dial by Vaccum

Please would you elaborate? "Just" a matter of lume, or other?

Congrats, B!

You took it to 100%, I would say, didn't you? (the only thing I cannot see is the back).

Congrats, V.!

I took part on these auctions on past times, but I got constantly overbidded so I gave up.

Now you got my holy grail and you proved me it is possible in the end.

Has it even small seconds?

May I ask which was the winning bid?

Besides, virgins are the worst [censored]s anyway, so who'd want that for eternity?

Uhm, it depends on where they are virgin...

WOW!

Thanks zeus!

Always eager of seagull info here.

In the list of calibers I would also add the ST2530 (date & small secs @9 & PR @5) that is the most common movement in watches w/ PR @5 -- e.g., PAM 090 rep.

I have yet to get a piece with this movement on it...but I look forward to it.

Not even a 090, Toad?

For the "T" work, I actually use a black oiler

OH MY!

Painting with a black oiler!!!

(Folks, to those of you who are not acquainted with this, a black oiler is far thinner than an insuline needle, it's just a thin metal hair, its tip scratches anything it comes to touch).

I cannot think anything more difficult, this means even mastering surface tension...

After nano-technology, we have nano-art here.

it's easier to 'learn as you go' rather than trying to 'read the manual' (which hasn't been completed yet )

I agree, it's easier.

But a pretty decent improvement of the manual is under editor's examination right now...

But what SHT means ?

Even if platinum members are not subject to censorship, I am not going to tell you that.

@DemonSlayer: R, rodico is on sale by cosusinsuk. They should be not far away from you.

And, honestly, rodico works incredibly.

@guanaco: a specific tool to clean hands & other parts is a leather or fabric buff stick very like the one mentioned by Logan. In Italian language it is called "cabrone", I don't know its name in English. Have a look here:

Ok folks, now you may download it here.

I got a reply that the attachement was rejected as illegal -- size, surely.

I'll try to use a file hosting site, and I'll give you advice and address as soon as I'll have it done.

Surfer, if you can send me an email to watchguy1860 at gmail, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sent.

Should it prove too large for you to get it, lmk and tell me the max size you can get in a single email. I can also send it splitted in several .rar volumes on several emails.

Apart from Rodico??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Why?

No love for the SHT buckle?
