excellent research. Saving money is such a beautiful thing. Thanks for the information. Does it work exactly the same as it did originally?

That is a beauty indeed. I would have to say this strap looks better with the buckle IMO.

this is a wonderful write up. Thank you very much for your contribution to the community!

it's a really cool watch, but I don't know if it's my style. Great work though!

I see you have a thing for Blue Dials. Unfortunately, neither watch has a "good rep" readily available. You'll need to buy one and then modify it to be your own. If you are remotely interested in a PAM 228, DSN might be able to make it happen.

I never appreciated the orange bezel either until I joined this forum. Still anxiously awaiting my PAM so that I could move on to a PO for my next project :-D

You shouldn't be able to see the blue because the crown guard should theoretically cover the holes on the lever. I personally probably would've went with black insulation, but it's something that no one would notice unless they took the watch apart. Great job chefcook!

Just when you thought you got a good deal. doh!

Try posting some lume shots to lure in potential buyers.

Those are beauties! *grabs the jar of vaseline*

I like me a good pilaf with sliced almonds and raisins.

Why don't you guys get your colons professionally clensed? This fasting crap is just plain stupid. I personally take green tea extracts when I feel like my valves need purging.

Single blade disposables suck. Double blade is all you'll ever need. Mach 3 was the best self shave I ever had, Fusion is what I use now because I got it for free. The extra blade for your sideburns is worthless.

if you want to try a nitrous oxide supplement, try White Flood. Probably one of the best on the market. My personal preference for a pre-workout cocktail is "Jack 3D" by USP labs.

I use art of shaving lavender scented cream, a badger brush and a fusion razor with the grain, then I re-lather and go slightly against the grain. Finish it off with a nice ice cold Alum Block....SO much better than alcohol based after shaves.

I second the brown one as well.

I bought a fake too. Crap! Nice read. LOL

Gorgeous strap. When is the group deal? Lol

Yikes! The date font looks hideous. How long have you had these parts laying around? Do you think it'll be cheaper to just buy a new watch and start fresh?

Wonderful review. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. The watch is a beauty even after you pointed out it's flaws

I'm a windows guy but love running it on a Mac with boot camp. If your budget allows for one, do not hesitate to get one. I've tried to ditch Windows completely, but I tend to come crawling back after a few weeks. Other than that, Mac OSX is sweeeet.

the sad part about it is that half of these dudes have decent parents that tried their best to raise their kids.... it could happen to you.

I never starch my shirts when I press them on my own. However, if I ever get them cleaned at a dry cleaner, I'll never complain about having a "stiff" shirt because of heavy starching.

If you guys want to try great Indian Food, you must try Bukhara Grill in NYC. Wonderful Kebabs, curries and breads. They have the very typical "americanized" indian food as well as the more traditional stuff.
