Lookin Good Hike!! Thursday.. Fiddy.. on Greg Stevens..

the 029 strap is by "Two Tall" and it's named Moroccan .. can't remember the rest of the name ... Sunset I believe.. it's my fav on the 029.. the Fiddy next to it is Greg Stevens.. he's on the "Panaristi" forum.. he has a wait list I believe .. and his straps are very pricey..I was fortunate to get this in very good condition from a member here for a great price.. The other Luminors are Mario Paci's .. not cheap but you can get deals on them from time to time... they are the makers for Panerai straps.. the others are Toscana's and the gator is from .. "Watch Boys" out of Canada.. no problems with shipping to the US .. probably the best price for gator straps ...I just got a fabric pen from the craft store and coloured the stitching black.. it was white.. @Carl.. thank you !!.. for me it got frustrating with the Pams..I had a couple fully modded and the last thing was the DW.. then the ones I had bought from a member who made the DW's were defective.. so it kinda put me off Pams for a while .. they are perfect .. but You know how it is.. just can't bear looking at that thin font .. it really spoils the whole deal Thanks Z and Toad .. as always ~ A~C Lani

Thanks F !! I think if my Pam collection were to grow anymore it would have to be a franken or an affordable genuine, perhaps previously owned.. A~C Lani

We were all smitten by the silver dial when the genuine was released.. but after awhile one BCE ... all BCE.. kinda repeats itself over and over.. yeah a chiefs upgrade would make this baby "POP".. A~C Lani

Some of my Pams.. ti's have been oxidized (I did a "how to" some time ago.. it's here somewhere) and the Ti's have OEM. Kruzer crowns (except one).. most have been relumed.. Most of my Pams have Kruzer OEM crowns.. Kruzer did one huge buy.. so we could benefit. Some of the Big Boyz.. the 029 (far right) has quite the history here (relume.. modded.. serviced.. OEM Kruzer crown .. still one of my favs.. the fiddy (DSN) rebuilt from an EL original.. I love the Greg Stevens Strap on my fiddy... the hide is incredible.. no wonder it's ^^^^^ AC Lani

Everyone is wondering .... is the BCE V3 silver dial.. really silver or is it grey.. Correct on both counts.. Just before I went MIA during the month of July I missed posting any pics.. but pics don't lie .. in just the right lighting you can view the true colours of the rep.. The concentric rings are a little more visible in the subs here..with ss ringsbordering the subs. the concentric rings are silver (dial).. the matte rings in the dial are more pewter than grey the sub dials are pewter with concentric rings ..I used very low lighting and shutter speed so the concentric rings are not as visible as when using studio lights.. no manipulation of this image.. so what you see is what you get.. hope that helps put to rest the question..

Omega Rail~Master for Wednesday ~

Yes, they came with eta engines back then ...this is the larger version.. (large is understating the fact).. it's the biggest watch I own !! thanks Rt.!!... I would stick with the 39 mm .. attracts more subtle attention.. A~C L

Sorry guy's meant to get this announcement out.. no excuse on my end.. get in touch with leGambleur and arrange your trophy sig.. L

Ancestors ~

Genuine below rep above..

it was too late to take a pic of the case back.. it is a display back.. I'll get pics up of the back tomorrow.. L

I love the case back .. the shape coincides with the globe.. cool Live Strong and Wear it Well R !! L

this is the 39mm, it appears bigger imo due to the ratio of crystal to case.. this is from Joshua .. Perfect clones.. it's very, very comfortable to wear.. and the strap is not a give away as the other reptile reps are.. L

Maguro ~ (actually I had 'Uni" and 'Maguro' sushi for lunch.. having 'Hamachi' tonight :thumbsupsmileyanim)

I posted some dirty pics for you guy's interested in the Omega Rail Master here: A~C L

There were numerous members interested in the Omega Rail-Master .. imo one of the best "out of the box reps" Some of the Omega line can be qualified as the Best of the Best .. again .. imo... I remember a member ... TTK had a RM custom made for him with a DW .. the genuine has no DW..Compare the rep to the genuine.. you will be happy.. I took some dirty pics.. I can do better pictorial if there is a desire amongst members for them.. it sits very nicely.. streamline .. Deployment clasp the lume has not been fully charged.. and keep in mind it is 3 years old..still very good A~C Lani

By now everyone has read the reviews and pictorials of the BK YM Roselium.. so I'll just add some Macro candy.. thank you BK for being patient whilst I was layed up in July.. BK's pieces are surely worth the wait ! here ya go ... Ubi teaches "clean hands"... not a mark on these Flooded the dial with light to view the detail of the coronet and font... clean.. crisp Date window Bezel CG Crown SEL Thanks for viewing and if your still on the fence ... A~C Lani
