I wouldn't lay any bets down on it..

Nice pics.. nice straps.. nice

Sorry , The Aussies are playing Pakistan in a 50 overs a side game of cricket on Sunday.

Given the "Panicstan" track record lately, the game will finish VERY early.

Does that interpretation help?

O/S

Well, from this ,. I thought you had a problem with noisy crickets

Be worth a peek...the cricket will be over by then (Only need 20 or 30 overs each!Posted Image

Rugby is more my speed to view.. but go Aussies .. criketers that is.. just say no to Roids..

I get the first part OS

but can ya translate the second part.. I dun speak OZ

Beautiful watch! :-D

Lani, is it no problem to plunge the watch in water + Oxyclean for hours? What about waterproofness? Did you unmount the movement and oxidize the case and caseback only?

:-)

Actually the reps did get immersed whole.. and not a problem.. they are at least gtg in a pot of warm water for an extended period..

I put a soda cap on the bottom of the pot and rested the watch on it..

one sure test... if the second hand stops .. then you'll know you have problems..

Seriously .. should be fine..

pearl is a dead give...

and if it were a gen.. I wouldn't spend money on it..

Good ta see you Pugs..

I've gotten the second generation orange strap from Josh.. th updated strap works well and no spacing from the lugs like the first one made..

See here>UPO Strap

as a suggestion .. I would order the SS and then the strap as an accessory.. during the summer you may want the SS at times..or you could just order the watch with the rubber strap..

You don't see many of these in the wild here.. so the date window is not a huge concern with me..I likes it regardless..

The look superb Lani, especially the strap combos!!

172 is the one that got away for me

Cheers

thanks you

just a heads up S

Nouns Defions on this thread is trying to sell his 172 for a great price.. and the correct case back can be had from DSN

keep me on your list fro upcoming dials

Shipping to UK has not proven to be problematic.. actually the UK is the best out of all EU Countries.

However, some dealers ship from within the EU... Perfect clones... PT.. ETZ..

BK has the best Subs and YM's.. and GMTII TT's.. and soon the SD .. the prices of the WM9's are higher but well worth the price of admission..

I would stay clear of the Daytona.. the mods on the movement have proven unreliable

Actually some very good Rolex reps would be the Milgauss.. "Ultimate" DSSD .. and 41mm day-dates..

the Migauss

Welcome to the forum

Holla if you need an assist..

Oxiclean is not available anymore in France/Europe!!!

Anyone knows what could be used instead of it?

Thank you!

mmm that's what I heard form a member that sent me his Ti to oxidize.. maybe members in Conus can help out and do some oxidizing..

just a thought..

PSI..(pounds per square inch)

I've always wanted to get me one of this, but I have a small wrist (6.5 inch) and since the UN Maxi Marine is 43mm and 16mm thick, I don't think it'll look good on me...

it will be fine..

actually do this

put on a watch.. look at it.. then move to a mirror and look at it in the mirror..it won't look as big as from the angle of you eye to directly to your wrist..

when looking at ones own watch it does appear bigger than it would when someone else is looking at it..

strange but true.. must be the optical perspective or angle of the view..

Beautiful Lani! Theres always something to learn in every one of your threads. Loving the contrast of the polished bezel, how did you protect it from being oxidised?

Thanks bro.

thank you OS

SS won't be affected by the oxidizing process

AC/L

Well, what do you know? Got one of these I'm my car toolbox for treeatibg surface rust: tried it out and it works great! Thanks!

Yes,.. they are made to clean light rust off metal surfaces.. they also work well to turn rep gator straps to a matte finish.. tried it on my rep gator.. comes out very nice..

The 2 best little cases IMO.. that look great..

Omega Railmaster.. also.. the best rep deployment strap.. imo

A great replication of the genuine

172 Tantalum

Lani, these are great. Given that you have a tantalium watch (or at least the watch that reps the metal), which do you think would work well, a The Zigmeister green lume, or a blue one that will match the hand scheme? I ask because the lume color on yours looks pretty good. I'm going to send my 192 to him, but don't know which lume to go with.

.. blue would be way cool.... I'm sure Ziggy would know the proper colour and finish to the lume..if blue is not the genuine colour and you don't mind it would look really cool.. imo..

Definitely my favorite looking PAM lately!!! I have been lusting after one for a while now! Looks amazing Lani!

Red.. Nouns Defions.. in this thread is wanting to sell 2 Tantalum's for cheap ..check it out..

Brush fiberglass pen.. Watch bitz has them.. it refinishes your brushed finish.. I use it periodically on my UOP bracelet.. if your in the EU cousins also has them..

you can also use a "pen eraser".. but make sure your stokes are even.. it's best to use "one way' strokes.. the pen eraser takes out light scratches very nicely.. the fiberglass refinishing pen makes them look new again..

This is a vintage Doxa that had been pretty scratched up.. used the pen to refinish it.
