  1. Yeah that what is was thinking ;-) But maybe you have to have some proof of owning a gen Breit?
  2. Very nice! So you actually wore this in the Gulfwar? So the dinks and nicks are from richocheting bullets?
  3. Wow! Nice watches! Very Jealous! Nice wristies too!
  4. I think you have too little strength in your fingers then ;-) I have bent all 3 off mine so they close tight and wear confortable by hand
  5. You should try to bend it a bit with your fingers! Bend the most narrow part(the single part that fall between the other 2) so it will be tighter, so bend it more so it becomes more arched and hooks better into the other part
  6. Luxury Swiss watchmaker Rolex has been robbed of more than 15 kilograms of gold -- worth almost 15 million euros -- and a foundry worker has been taken into custody, a judicial official said Thursday. Rolex, whose status-symbol wristwatches cost several thousand euros/dollars apiece, says the employee, a temp, admitted stealing five kilograms (11 pounds) of gold from the plant in Plan-les-Ouates, the official said. The man's lawyer Francois Canonica said he has been detained and charged with theft and breach of trust, the ATS news agency reported. "Whether he should be blamed for the extra 10 kilos remains an open question," said the lawyer. "It appears that the security system put in place by Rolex -- supposing it has one -- has shown its limitations," Canonica added.

But how can 15 kilo's be worth so much? White gold or something?
  7. Well no, this is not a very high end rep/movement so no panerai branded parts. I like the watch very much, but so much to drop in a 2893 ;-) My current movement does have the black datewheel but incorrect font A MM05 from Jackson TSE is 68USD and the movement is 32 and then i'll have the whole watch to go with it. But how much would i be able to get for the caseset if < than 34 then i should go for the movement i think.
  8. Could you maybe point me in the right direction for the movement then? I'd hate to buy one that's wrong, also how much could i get for the caseset with dial and stuff? This because i might buy a complete watch Auch!
  9. Thanks, but to buy from COusins i need to be a company? The movement i'm trying to source is like 32 USD from Jackson TSE, worth it? JacksonTSe sells a complete watch for 68USD. Or should i sell the watch head (forUSD???) and get another PAM029 or something? Mine, i think the case is pretty good, what do you guys think?:
  10. Well i f-ed the movement up trying to regulate it. The movement i'm trying to source is like 32 USD, worth it? Or should i sell the watch head (forUSD??? and get another PAM029
  11. Wow! When this gets repped i'll buy one for sure!
  12. Hi By-tor and Deniz! Thanks! It's the V2 bracelet that i got from another member, it fits great though i like the Ocean Racer better on it because because my wrists are a bit small(and the watch wide), 7,2 inch. The bracelet doesn't follow the line of the lugs and goes straight down along the side of my wrist(don't know how else to say this) i don't have this on my Skyland
  13. Thanks guys! I got mine from Mary
  14. Lol if i look in recent topics it states: Spammed Again by arniezac Today, 11:06 AM ;-)
  15. As i said already: WELCOME BACK PETE! :thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim:
  16. Looks to be the rught movement,thanks! only my datewheel is black with white numbers I dont think the 029 is available anymore though?
  17. Wow looks great! Looks like a BCE to me, will have to find out what the difference is ;-) Stunning piece! I would be hesitant to open a gen up myself though ;-)
  18. My PAM 029 was 25 min a day off and the time set function was already messed up. SO i tried regulating it myself and then the hairsping broke ;-( Does anyone know where to source another movement? I don't even know which movement was in it ;-( Pics of the movement before i f-ed it up, what version is it? :
  19. Thanks, Wel i can't make any instant payments anymore. Contacted PP and they thoight their system sees changing your email as fishy behaviour and arfter a few succelfull transactions it should be back to normal but that will take too long, What if i see a cool watch, then the seller will have to wait 4-6 working days ;-(
  20. Please put them in the OP and not in a new topic ;-)
  21. Hi guys, I changed my paypal emailadress because i feared that one was comprimised. Everything went fine until i tried to send someone money. I used to be able to send money directly and after some days it would be debeted from my connected bankaccount. Now i can only choose e-check or postponed payment or something Now the other party has to wait a week for his money I don't have a CC so that's not an option Strange! Any thoughts?
  22. Wow very nice! I have a V3 with black batons but i can fit the bracelet in easyly, but i like it better on the OR Rubber
  23. Nice to hear you are still around and kicking and thinking of us ;-) I missed you around Lani as did many others Take it easy as much as you can
  24. Well i should need 8,25 inch wrist to get the on so that's not going to happen, they are good quality but too big: Pics and one compared to the pillow in my watch winder The sides are solid and don't budge, i can push the end in about 5mm each but still not enough As it is returable i am not going to cut them open or something
