you like that one huh ?? give me 30 minutes to take some pics of it.. I'll place the pics in the Pam section pete..

Good to see you got your batteries charged ... actually Ubi got me motivated for Pams again.. and the Prev A models.. I was on a long sabbatical from the Pams.. and yuppers I enjoy the vintage much more than the modern era Pams.. this next batch of FGD dials and Ziggy's services should be jaw dropping for 2010 .. great prep to the New Year.. AC/L

great dig A... thank you for sharing it.. AC/Lani

Over size rules..

Melu you want oversized..

The Railmaster is a "Super Rep".. a must have 1:1.. one of the all time best reps for accuracy..outstanding Lume out of the box also.. the rep strap is the best of the reptilian rep straps ..bar none.

great semantic... that is the mindset you should always stay with..since you'll not be able to 'rap' your pipes for noise..

Your in the proper section Melu.. check this out>Here you'll get used to "oversize".. it's the natural evolution of this hobby .. oversize watches are cool.. but you may be self concious at first.. no worries.. No Fear... AC L

check this out Melu.. explorer .. 36mm vintage

Bump for Melu..

Melu .. there is a thread that I replyed to regarding this topic.. I'm trying to locate it instead of uploading the pics all over again.. give me a minute..

I mailed a priority to the east coast 2 weeks ago... and it still has not arrived.. it is taking twice as long with the Christmas craziness.. everything is moving like the 'Honu' ... (turtle) at this time.. it is stressful.. but all parcels will arrive ... just delayed..

this was, as many members have.... the FGD dials.. cutom made.. Ziggy is offering the OEM PVD service.. he has a January run on the books if you are interested.. his web site has all the pricing for his services.. You'll need a PreV case.. like the one in arminvanbuuren has posted in his sig. Little Hero has the proper CG's T48 crown Fishgodeep dial.. he just finished another run of A series dials .. finished with lume and unfinished without lume. 6497 eta from DSN or Ofrei. the crystal is from DSN.. the AR removed.. and the caseset was sent to Ziggy for PVD as the genuine model. The key to source is the correct case.. blocky with stubby lugs.. fatter than the case's of the Panerai today.. I have a few in bounds as sample.. there is a project on the board where the gen case will b CDC'd.. So you have some sourcing to do.. check with FGD and see first of all if he has any dials available.. it won't be the 202A.. I have gotten 2 form his recent run.. 203A and the 218A..

Ingy for Sunday Enjoy Sunday ALL!! AC/L

My Crystal is at Chiefs Lab at the moment .. the cyclops has been removed.. and it will need to be glued back on and then the AR removed from around the cyclops on both sides.. I hope the results will be there.. I'll see what I can do Arthur about sourcing a gen crystal for you.. I cannot promise but I'll ask a friend who owns a independent AD.. the genuine would be a snap to install but for some reson I like the challenge of creating the same effect with the tools we have available here.

A scooter is a very effective way to zip around.. the one issue to remember is, motorist don't "see" you.. be very aware of intersections.. as scooters are very quiet.. the reason for loud pipes on my Harley is to be heard especially when your hidden behind large delivery trucks etc... never take for granted traveling through intersections.. idiots are plentiful..left turns .. etc. better to have a healthy fear than none at all.. take a safety course if your never been on 2 wheels with a motor.. it may seem too basic .. but ... experienced riders get that way form not making too many mistakes.. "ah shit" is not something you wanna say on the road.. keep the rubber side down and you'll be fine AC/Lani

Cool.. about the same time as members in Singapore..

the reps are from your backyard.. wonder how long they'll take to get to you holla if you need an assist alt. AC/Lani

I've handled the gen before I received my rep.. the colour of the genuine is not white nor gray.. I can descibe it as the colour of white ash off a cigar..not the dark grey ash that I have seen some reps with..you may want to check all the dealers to see if all the inserts are the same.. like the DSSD rep the V3 was too dark grey and the Ultimate now is the correct colour here is one pic of the gen..

Media feeds on disasters.. scandals..anything that will stir the morbid side of the human race.. the more gruesome the better.. it sells print, viewer ratings go up.. it is the only part of the business that matters.. Publishers are lighting up cigars when tragedy hits.. What I stay away from is the hype that goes along with the feeding frenzy..the media will milk this for every extra tabloid, every extra news print that can be sold, television and radio will spin off more tales of infidelity, and probably add a few of their own.. checking with their attorneys to see how far they can stretch it. I don't have to buy into it.. true or fabricated.. I turn the channel.. station.. I won't buy periodicals.. this could last for months..and this is what most of the population.. who don't even tune into golf at all will eat up.. especially the Female gender.. and I'm not being sexist in stating this.....men.. well we can say he should not have done it.. and most of us wouldn't.. but we can understand the fuck up a little more graciously than the female gender..they would like nothing more than to rip his manhood out... and they are the gender that the media is catering to and depending on to boost ratings etc... especially on slow newsdays..and the media will sadly Milk the female gender dry.. I mean in the time that this was made public the only comment amongst my buddies.. is we say something along the lines of .. "He's Fucked".... yeah.. yeah.. end of conversation on the Tiger Topic.. cause we all don't want to talk about it.. hits men right between the ........... Letterman is grateful to Tiger me thinks.. took some of the heat off him.. me.. I think...... it is after all Tigers life.. however he chooses to live it.. he will ultimately be the one who pays the consequences...... the only one that he has to live with is himself... but ultimately his legacy will be from now forward.. not what he does on the golf course, because he's proven that, he's basically done it all..it will be judged and spewed out by the media, because the poll of Public Opinion is what makes the world go round..when you are in the lime light.. and of Icon status.. "What price Glory" ??... it comes with a heavy burden.. the burden of public opinion.. sucks if you ask me.. but the world has it's own Ying and Yang..

It's really up to the individual buying his goods.. you need to decide what is of value added and what you would pass on.. mostly all of us at one time or another have purchased from Davidsen.. he is a good source for case backs and hands for projects.. I am not saying all his reps are worth the price.. but that is something you will have to decide.. it's very easy to spend upward of 1K for the projects that members do themselves. .. CG's can cost 150 usd to 180 and up.. cases much more.. FGD's dials are a great deal.. Ziggy's OEM PVD is also a great deal..this hobby is not just about cheap reps anymore.. genuine dials.. Kruzer .. probably has more projects than NASA going one at any given time, and his investments in genuine parts is probably phenomenal.. so you really need to pick and choose what and from whom you do business with.. a lot of members buy only from Davidsen when it comes to Pams.. others source only parts.. Honpo charges what they do.. because they can.. so up to you.. DSN is not a scammer though.. else he wouldn't be on RWG.. Good Luck AC/lani

the VC is imo more sleek.. the Ingy is very heavy the AR on the Ingy is great .. kinda two different personalities here.. I think the Ingy is a must have.. the VC if you can source the correct dial would be a nice addition to your collection, the bracelet itself is very, very cool.. AC/Lani
