Oh, don't get excited .. I bought from an RWG member in the Watches For Sale area; not from some secret North American dealer.

Ok then you two wise guys!! Here's the 390 slammed onto a Donerix custom handmade CAYMAN FLANK strap !!! WOOO YEAH!!! Boo yah !!

Agreed. A winner.

There are many great watch strap makers out there but I know Inspire Workshop makes thin luxury bands as well as nice fat Panerai style bands.

Although Katt is not a watchmaker here on RWG, he has his own area on RWI and it is full of praise for his fast, competent work. For basic servicing and problem solving you will be very happy.

Thank you all for your kind words thus far. This form (the alluring unwrap) is one I admired and learned here on RWG and hope I have imitated successfully.

PAM 390 tobacco dial for me today.

Any of the popular file sharing (torrent) sites will have at least one archive of all NYT best seller books going back a year plus collections of "best books ever" ... I grabbed one of those and it had 760 books inside.

Really .. I have always pictured your doorstep as having a tossled pile of boxes, each containing one or more watches sadly in need of love. And maybe a tired mailman, as well.

This package was entirely domestic. Hence the US Postal Svce branded box.

Outstanding.

I think it actually happens that the older man asks permission to work the movement via the crown .. and is happy to see that it operates the hands as a Rolex should .. in the OPPOSITE direction as an ETA or A21j ...

I posted one just now to the Panerai area of the forum .. here's the link .. enjoy!

I came home today to find a parcel leaning against my front door. What could it be ... I wonder! Let's open it. Good packaging! I like where this is going. Hmmm another layer. What could be inside?? I can almost see what is in the package now ... it looks like it could be something good. Hmmm ... Ohhh what a beautiful watch. But the silicone guard is still hiding all of it's beauty .. shall I take it off? The hero shot! What a prize. Lume, since I know someone will ask. That's all for now! Here's another in natural light.

I am agreeing with you that his is microscopic. I saw a photo of him with his ex-wife Nichole Kidman, and he was standing up on the curb with her standing down in the street to make the size difference appear to be less.

Yes, and since the A8 is entirely aluminum from front to back, and top to bottom there can be no rust .. people are amazed when I tell them the car is 13yrs old now. Of course I have 2007 wheels on it to update the look ...

Yes, The Zigmeister is saying that the newest asian GMT module will no longer slip and become useless if it's properly maintained. He's saying it has finally been made properly.

This intrigues me as well .. if they came out with a bronze plated version, I would buy one immediately .. how cool would it be to have a watch with aged bronze patina!!!

One of the long-timers here tells a story of going into a Rolex AD and being called out on his Gen vintage single Red, because the Rolex sales girl thought all Rolex bezels *must* click and be uni-directional to be genuine. A salesperson is a salesperson ... most of the time. The story continues that an older gentleman behind the counter whisked her aside and took the watch in his own hands and almost wept over it. He knew his stuff, but she did not.

Yes, when you see TC next to his wife in photos, he is just a tiny bit taller than her and she is the same size as a garden gnome.

My wife saw him walking in an airport a couple of years ago and did not expect him to be so short. That's movie magic for you.

I doubt a local guy would touch an a21j ... ETA is a different story. Katt normally turns watches around in a week. I can't speak for him, tho.

That's an option if you are comfortable pulling hands, dials, movements, and possibly the wheels as well if they are not the right height.

Shoot GKLONER at gmail dot com (Katt) an email and I'm sure he can help you for a very reasonable amount of money.

Awesome! Im glad you could correct this issue so quickly.
