  1. Inspired by this thread i just decidet to post another wristshot of my pam.... but as far as i can see there is no wednesday wristcheck. But as far as i have come now i need to post those pictures :
  2. After one year of nearly daily use of my DSSD i decided to mod the watch as it was showing minor signs of wear. I lost most of the letters of the caseback and the engraving of the bezel startet to change the colour a little bit. So i took a little bit of those: and painted the bezel and the caseback, as well as the bracelet: after it turned out that good I decided to matt the dial as well, so i disassambled the movement and dial After the first run of matt spray varnish it looked quite good. There was just a little excess around one of the indexes. I tried to solve the problem with a little paintbrush with a little bit of varnish.... It didn
  3. I´ve had the same "problem" with my gen Pam 90. When setting the time i always wind one hour in advance an then wind back to the exact time. That solved the problem for me.
  4. + 1 Its an easy mod i performed on my Avenger Skyland. Wrap the floss around a few turns and push the end down with a razor blade. Relay easy. Have fun with your watch, drolson
  5. started with this beauty then changed the watch but used the same strap
  6. The main problem for me would be that Panerai refuses to service customized watches afaik. So you need a watchsmith you can really rely on and that gives a warranty on his work. In addition i personaly don´t like the look of beadblasting and the look of the PVD will differ from the original because of the different surface. So for me personaly this would be a no go except the price was unbelievably good.
  7. You are damn right.
  8. Since my wife started to wear my SDDS a few weeks ago i knew i had to do something special to get my watch back (especially because it used to be my daly beater) I always liked the new GMT IIc, and as my wife liked the ceramic bezel of the SDDS i decided to buy one at Precious Time (great contact and service as usual) Today the watch arrived and i
  9. The dental floss mod (wrap around the bezelan push it down with a razor blade). I like the Pam 194 the most. Maybe it´s not the most accurate, but it´s a monster. Too sad no EU based dealer can provide it. Would buy it instantly. :drool:
  10. Indipendent of the directon of the valve i would seal it once and forever with epoxy to be sure that no water is coming in. I just followed the instructions of gio, it´s realy easy.
  11. Thanks to this thread i took out my Pam again. And i like it . Actually wearing it with a BOB Vertigo Buffalo 24/24 I think it´s quite cool.
  12. I purchased the strap and the folding clasp at PANATIME. The contact was very nice an got fast replies to my questions. Over all i
  13. I would vote for the Seiko SKX007 on oyster bracelet. I had one myself and i loved it. KLICK
  14. As i have to work this weekend im wearing my daily beater +4sec/24h, it
  15. I had the same problem with my Skyland. Fixed it with dental floss just like chazglenn3 mentioned. Wraped it around two times and pushed the end down with a razor blade, worked fine for me Just give it a try , greetings DrOlson
  16. Im going for a swim with my daughter so i need a divers watch. Greetings DrOlson
  17. Thanks Lani, aktually i was thinking of purchasing one , but i also like the SS HBB, and the AP ROO black themes, and the GMT IIc. Or maybe i should just buy myself a 111 and mod it... or what about the fiddy. And i definitely need the Avenger Skyland Blacksteel, and the UPO, and the Steelfish with white dial, no maybe ill have to get the big pilot first ....... i need to calm down i think
  18. im too slow: My first Lumejob: Time´s up: LOL Greez Drolson
  19. Hi folks, since im browsing the forum on a daily basis and have gained valuable information on both reps and gens i decidet to "step into the light" and introduce myself to the forum. Im 29 years old and i´m crazy about watches since i can remember. As most people i started with a few quarz watches like swatch and others. As i learned to appreciate the value of mechanical movements i proceeded to Seiko (the famous SKX007) and Steinhart. As my girlfriend somehow managed to loose my Seiko it decided to save up for a real watch. So after a long year of working an saving i finally bought my first expensive watch, the PO Chorono. But as you all know the addiction got stronger and stronger and i had to have a second watch. I was always fancy about Panerai (in fact i had planed to buy the Pam 212 but then choose the PO Chrono), but back then the Panerai-hype was at its peak and as a result the prices, even for used watches, were extremly high. A long story short, after months of searching i found a preowned, unused Pam 90 at an unbeatable price (as you will see later i could not resist). For the next year i was satisfied, just browsing the fora to be up to date. And then i saw the first pictures of the rolex SDDS..... , tried it on at the ad... ... you all know the rest. As im still in the funding process i thougt about purchasing a rep, did some research and thats how i ended up at RWG. Now i have ordered two watches in a few months, and i´m afraid, that there are more to come. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING MY ADDICTION TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. As i like to watch some pictures and as i know you like watching pictures here you go: The box: Wristshots:
  20. I ordered at precious time. He told me he could get the V2 which i wanted. But there was a misunderstanding, so he sent me the V3. Just write PT an e-mail and ask him. drolson
