the white blue combo is the best for summer imho !

very classy..

wow! any specs? is this a dsn case?

Lol , at least they were honest...

it really amazes me that you dont care at all at how close they are to the gen..

lets hope you did not pay much for those!

wear them well..

23 here

gen pam 005

and many many reps of all kinds..

i really like it, stealthy looking! hows the lume duration?

spray it with clear coat or varnish underside were the case touches you wrist and you will be good to go !

My father used to do this with the temples of his gold plated sunglasses. 10 years after they are like new.

hope this helps

iwould love to see this and i would def. buy it... but there is a lot detail in this watch and many things our chinese friends can screw up

i dont know how accurate it is, as i am not an expert on vintage pams , but i love the historic look of this monster. Looks like a proper diving tool !

maybe the hack mechanism is loose and engages accidentaly.

judt my 2 cents

geia sou kosta!

Hi kostas

Best wishes for quick recovery of your son!

how are you supposed to lube this? is it jeweled? amazing art, but i doubt it would keep cosc time with this high friction!

everything went fine and the watch is up and running again!

thank you all.

i ordered it and paid this ridiculous s/h cost!

i hope i will be able to put it back together

hello anyone guys?

wow!!!

many thanx!

Hi all folks, happy easter.

I went to repair my fraken datejust today because the hands fell off when the watch accidentally hit the floor face down.

Anyway, i screwed the keyless works and i went dial side to reset it. 2 cups of coffee later and while my hands were shaking i snapped my chinese screwdriver and as a result i lost this tiny little gear (prob. for time setting) on the floor chaos. Hours went through and i cannot find it. The movement is a mido 12892, maybe stilty has a spare or anybody with a 2892? zig please chime in, will this fit? Where can i get one?

it is the gear missing from the red circle.

i am open for trades in eu as i think this is too chunky for my wrist. Its hardly worn and i am looking for a hublot HBB or an iwc. Would also consider trades with multiple less valuable watches

welcome! excellent intro indeed! can we have some pics of your huge collection? any pics of that first old daydate? i love to see old replicas..

geia sou file ellina apo athina kai gw!

Just do a search for breitling and stick with the simple models, usually they screw up the busy dials with slide rule etc. Some members here have very comprehensive reviews for popular breitling models.

Welcome!

yeah i know this i am just bored to wait for them to upload. Thank you for the tip

sorry for the pics, i resized them in photoshop as the originals were too big to upload

Today i received my dssd from andrew, its the eta version. As always service was excellent and communication was instant , emails went back and forth in a chat like speed!

I unwrapped the watch and quality controlled it, to find that 6 o'clock marker had some lume running over the markers frame and also some dust particles around the outer edge of the dial. I decided to open the watch and have a try.

The caseback opened using a ruber glove, it was not so tightly screwed down but i am thankful for this as it came off easily with no scratches at all.

After removing the two piece caseback i witnessed what i believe and hope to be a swiss eta stamped under the balance.

Two movement clamps and screws after and after removing the crown i turned the watch over and got the movement out.

Using a toothpick and a loupe i removed excess lume from 6 o'clock marker and using a cotton ear bud and a joe blower i removed all the dust from the dial. The quality of the watch amazed me. No rough metal everything is finished fine, crown and tube are very sturdy and smooth.

After i silicon greased all the seals i decided to oil the rotor bearings just to make it even more quiet.

As i was busy doing all this stuff the bracelet was soaking in oil.

I followed the same process to assemble the watch and put the bracelet back, which now felt even better.

Everything went fine and i am very happy now.

Hope you enjoyed! This is a truly well made watch and is great for those who like their diver watches chunky and big.

awesome story, i did nt know you work as a watch repair guy. Can you please post some pics of this watch?
