+1 My first impression was also DSN, mainly because of the logo, a little "too much present" (too big & thickness)

I order 2 cg from TB and i can say that one had the top pin verry nicely finished (perfectly flushed & polished) & the second one needed some little help. But no big deal, i guess it's some normal disparity in a massive production.

Lol... ok, before shooting you i would have be glad to help you on what model you will need but it seems like you have red only my last (verry, verry mean) sentence...

Nobody can know from the model, it depends on: automatic or manual? usual rep cg or TB, Sead, LH, gen etc... ? And if you had go back just one page you would have known that PVD is possible

Nice teaser

Good to know, thanks for the tip...i didn't look for the shipping cost but the screws are cheap

I'm on your side on this one, always thought the mismatched hands were not so good looking... and even it's not an perfect match on your 201a it's look way better imo And this gunny is a beauty, specially on this kind of vintage pam.

Thanks op!! Now i can send you an email without hesitation ^^

Does anybody know if it's the same for Toro Bravo's cg ? choose the recessed 0,85 ?

Congrats, and i love that wrist shot, it shows well the details of the dial. And the blue stitching strap... verry nice combo

Damned, for 1 second seeing your title i thought: they finally use the new UPO movement ? And no ....

1000$ for this beauty ? Wooh nice catch !! And Malakei, even with a movement which allowed tight subdial spacing, IMHO the quartz dial is not so good, the subdial are not "recessed" the way it supposed to be

Allright, thanks for the explanation guys

Reading a post here (or RWi i don't remember) with many links to receive free commercial catalog from different brand, i order few. And today i receive The panerai 2009. And when i saw the 00000 & the 00005 and knowing all the flaws in Logo's rep, i thought it was funny to post 2 pics from the catalog : So even in the gen, the logo are not always the same, regarding to series i guess. How the hell do the factories could possibly do a perfect rep with this ^^ ? Or the good point is that allow us to have a logo not pointing exactly at the end of the "E"

I can't tell you Pugwash but imho i would doubt that Rolex style hands would have the same lume than Seiko. In other hand i know Yokobies sell this entire modded watch, so if he do perfect work ... he should care about those things But you can email him and ask for a lume shot of the model or ask him directly if its as bright, when i bought him the red second hand i asked him the same thing, didn't wanna see lume disparity in hands with dial. Me too, but to be honest i'm more a "not Rolex lover" ^^

Thanks Ronin, in fact in the first place i decided to switch also hour & minute hand, but after done it i was not satisfied with the result so i came back to the original one , just kept the red second hand. For the Rolex lke, i saw at yokobies one with the mercedes hands & bezel insert green, it looks good but too much "rollie" to me ^^ But who knows in few months... the hands + bezel for this one will be like 30$ shipped... not so bad for almost a new watch

Thanks guys, i admit it is gratifying when you look at your watch, even it's not so hard work to do . Btw , the bezel could be found here in different color: http://cgi.ebay.com/BEZEL-INSERT-FOR-ROLEX-SUBMARINER-16800-RED-SAPAHIRE_W0QQitemZ180434809394QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Jewellery_Watches_WatchAccessories_SpareParts_SM?hash=item2a02c0b232

Thanks for this shots... and many thanks for your great post above, everybody talk about Pre-V and H series on one side, and Pre-A and A-F series on the other side... and i was like ok but what about G series ? It's good to know all this details

Hi guys, Few weeks ago i bought a Seiko Diver 100 at the famous Mr.Lee (chronograph.com), it's my second Seiko and i have to say that for the price i was again surprised by the quality of the watch. Here's the watch: Then after 1 or 2 weeks seeing seiko's forum i say to myself why don't make it more "personal". So i bought a bezel on ebay and a new second hand at yokobies (he got tons of hands, dials, bezel etc... for Seiko). My brother bought a case with all the tools for watchwork (if i remember right, it was like 40$ send by Noah Fuller, another Seiko modder) & with patience & little fear to make it wrong i made it So here's the watch now: ===>this NATO was a gift of Mr.Lee with the watch, not top quality but free ^^ In red maybe she looks more "sporty", but looking all my watches the conclusion was: damned, lot of black colour!! So i'm verry happy with it, and if someday i'm getting tired of red, it takes only 10min to switch to the black bezel with: and

I agree, nice choice Bree!! (& nice game)

She looks gorgeous & your dial is a really sweet one... wear it good

Even not being a Pam expert... i can say that's one of the worst Pam rep i ever seen ^^

Interest in Gen Moony parts ? well it depends of the price i would say, For fitting in rep watches i know that hands don't fit without modification but it's absolutely possible to do it. I also read that case rep/gen is near 1:1 but i won't be absolutely sure gen parts will fit. it's my grail watch so i made research about parts (ofrei, cousinsuk etc...) one day maybe... but if you wanna sell some parts, PM me ^^

Funny you thought about this combo, when comparing the different 005 from all dealers, i thought about brush/polish and i emailed DSN about it, his answer was: " HI pam 005 with brusehd case/cg and polsied bezel is possible. Gen does not have this feature. are you sure? " Just to tell you it's possible, finally 1 went for an another dealer with a 005 "stock".

That was my remember for reading it on RWI, but i hope i will be able to thank him too, when RWI will be on again
