That PVD Casablanca Chronograph is intriguing...

I believe the 6239 had the 6mm Twinlock.

Looks great, Eddy! I think I also prefer the lighter Xa, but both look fantastic

I dig it, Kostas! That sandwich dial with the PVD case is a great combo!

Starting off the week with my frankenstein...

an ebel refinished mov. for less than $900... you are a luky boy....

next my project could be this... or a milgauss... i'm looking for a good start to do a milgauss any one can give me a suggest?

The movement was not refinished, but actually brand new...

Very lucky indeed!

As for the milgauss... Are you wanting to do a 6541, or 1019?

Don't worry fellers... No watch was dismantled or harmed to build this one...

Arch- Keep your eyes open... You can still snag an El Primero 400 for less than $900.00...

Damn nice, Marco!! A great find for sure!!

As avitt mentioned- Best to try not to compress the bars in too much- Only enough to move them out fo the lug hole. What I typically do is undo a link so that the bracelet is seperated at the clasp. I then turn over the watch so that I am looking at the baseback side, and then insert the pin for the springbar tool. Once you see the springbar end compress, apply pressure with your finger to push the endlink just enough so that the springbar end is now pressing against the solid surface of the inner lug (i.e. the end is not going back into the hole). Then do the same to the other side; once both ends are out, it should be a matter of simply pushing the link out.

Damn, Eddy! At this rate, you're going to have every Panerai in the catalog by the end of the month

Looks great!! That's one big mofo!

Be careful. This is a guy who sells a lot of fake rolex bridges and dials. They are very high quality, but not authentic. My guess is that it is a real val 72 with the rolex markings added.

Regards.

Agree- Looking at the pics, the dial is not original. Some tell tale signs that give it away...

I'm down for 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10!

I'd also like to see a quality Heuer Monaco (amongst several other watches...).

lovely..quick and dirty pic taken by my cell phone..

Quick and dirty is always good!

it does...but my belief in Karma gives me some solice.

If I could find a "bowing" smilie I would dedicate it to Mr Ubi.

Many, many thanks! I am glad to see that the gen insert has found it's way onto your beautiful watch! It looks great!

I recently parted with my 1680, but have another in the works to replace it Once you've had one, it's hard to live without...

ubi you forgot me.... the pics... remember?

see this one for your will 280002768102

I'm so sorry klingsor... Can you help me remember? I don't recall what we had discussed?

Wow Reg... I dig that skeleton!

Looking good BL!

I'm not much of a gold guy, but a family member of mine is! I may have to pick one up for a gift...

Just wait until Richemont releases their new Panerai toilet paper...

In the usual manner of oversizing everything, here is a pic of their prototype roll for sizing purposes:

On each roll, they will print the following images on each square in alternation:

I believe this is due to be a I or J series release, as they are still working the kinks out with their suppliers.

Back this one for the weekend...

Special BBQ grill edition?

Mine would have to be my self made 3646 hommage...

K- Of that list, 112 gets my vote.

A good pearl? The only pearljob I can recommend is genuine...

Sometimes you can find the pearls on their own on eBay...

All's well that ends well...

Happy endings are always good...
