Hey there, I'm another noob - but trying not to be lazy. I have searched quite a bit and have come down to...
Do you want to know the real thruth?
It's the old members that are lazy. They flame some noobs in order to have other noobs make the searches they (the old ones) are interested into.
Cheers
a lazy one

Ah. I missed Lello's thread.
I too, if Lello posted a thread about it.
I was just speaking on a private note that Lello sent me some time ago.
-
Deleted. Silly reply.

Lookin good. I'm in for one of these when ready:
Great minds think alike.

I've got no clue how to go about extracting the existing cyclops from a sandwich crystal since it is recessed into the sandwich. That doesn't mean it can't be done, though.
It can be done, Lello already did it.
Congrats and thanks for this great project, Brian, can't wait to see the bits!

I have once been able to remove the damn thing by using a tool that I found in a cheap chinese screwdivers set. That tool is sort of a screwdriver but it has just an iron cone head in place of the usual screwdriver head (so it actually is nothing more than a small conical chisel).
I held the case in a vice, placed the cone tip into the inside hole of the crown tube so that the tool would touch the tube, not the case, and I gave a single, sharp hammer stroke on the tool.
Quite strangely it worked.
(With apologies for my English that is even less adequate than usual when trying to describe this sort of things)

The Hirsch Liberty's look really good for $31.49.

Nice find, thanks for sharing!
Mabye the Hirsch Liberty are even less expensive from The Watch Prince, though.

Stephane, I just hope that the name in those photobucket links is not your real name...

Crystals from Jimmy arrived to me.
PMs sent.

hi,
the bead-blasting and pvd coating is made by a special local company for special pvd coatings.
the super lume is from rc tritec.
it's a mixture of w9 = 60%, c3 = 20%, c5 = 20% , and it's made by my local watchsmith.
Thans for the info.
I love that lume color.
'Local' stands for....?
-
Wow. Very original and brave project, congrats!
Where had you it PVD-coated and relumed?
-
Great choice, congrats!
The 050 has been my 1st serious rep and it stays as one of my favourites (even if it is now worn by my wife).
I honestly consider it the best out-of-the-box PAM rep.
But the fellows are right, soon I went to 44mm and recently to 47. And my wrist is 6.7''
-
Incredible! Even I figured it out, this time!
-
Do you mean cliff diving or deep sea diving?
You may guess it from the (rightmost) pic in my signature
Normal scuba diving, down to -60m max.
-
Great, Brian! My most heartfelt congratulations, these cyclopses are a beauty!

ssurfer, there was a Panerai window also but i'm not a fan, sorry mate
Shame on you
Blame on you
And my nick has three 's'

Donation done

No PAM?
Then sh*t.
Enjoy your stay in Prague anyway, drink tons of beer. They have the best beer I tried (after a special one in UK) and less expensive than mineral water.

ATM is atmosphere, as in atmospheric pressure. Scientifically I think it’s a lot more complicated than this, but for the sake of diving, I believe 1 ATM = 10 meters, meaning a watch that is rated to 10 ATM could theoretically withstand the pressure at 300 ft below the surface….or, maybe, if 1 ATM is sea level, then 10 ATM is actually 270 feet…I guess…who knows...
In swimming and diving, pressure is given not only by the depth, but also by the movements of the swimmer / diver and other issues. In addition, the 1 ATM pressure of air at the sea level must be taken in account.
In the end, a 10 ATM watch is good for swimming, but not for diving.

Most importantly, improved date font for Asian 7750's.
Really
And cyclops, crowns, crown guards and levers, affordable AR coated sapphire crystals, correct casebacks...
Oh my, I did not realize our reps were so bad.
The most expensive PAM on the bay
