can nothing to add to the other statements.

simple perfect...

rolli

agreed......is correct what he said.

Quick clarification, the 2533 was the original proto for the 3646 dated around 1936. This proto used a Rolex cushion shaped PW with attached sodered lugs. According to serial #s there could be as many as four of these left with two known examples.

The Kampschwimer watches were for the most part devoid of markings (although many had the Rolex engraving in the caseback) not so much because Rolex didn't want their markings on these, but mostly as a request of the Kampschwimers who didn't want their equipment identified by the enemy.

Panerai didn't start using Angelus movements in their watches until 1956.

here you can see the crown of the new pam028 release 2009.

the bevel is very small.

this kind of crown style is what i prefer, and not with rounded bevel and edges.

here in my topic pam 195 you will see many interesting combos with a pvd pam.

and take a look in the topic 004, or see all my pvd models.

haahhaa D...........

you say all your points that makes fun....???????????????????

waiting............??????????????????

i hate to wait..........hahahaa.........

rolli

Where is the fun in that.....

It's the modding that makes it fun

The vision...

the search for the parts

the expert assembly

the waiting and anticipation

the arrival

Then you sell it and start a new project

titanium and pvd are not polished and looks much better.

but.......all have a too much bevel.

i think in the crown-fabrication they cannot control the precision of the bevel.

that's a chinese manufacturer.

and the galvanic process makes all edges and the bevel extreme rounded.

that's a very big minus-point.

and another point is, the teeth are too pointed, better it would be a light flattening, not sharp-edged.

rolli

i think the polish procedure is made in connection with a galvanic bath.

micron-parts of the steel-crown will be degraded.

that's why the crown-teeth profile and bevel are rounded.

the palp cown is not polished by a galvanic process.

rolli

wrong or not wrong.

for me..... it doesn't matter....

the 2,1 mm palp crown looks very good and have a great feeling.

and for the overall view it has a better balance between the crown-guard and case.

that's why i would to plead in favour of the 2,1 mm t_48_crown.

rolli

Why deviate from the perfect recipe you've got?! I've got genuine OEM crowns that I can't distinguish from yours (other than the tube thickness) - IMHO, making it 2.1mm is pointless, in the same way that a 1.8mm crown is wrong, a 2.1mm crown is wrong! I've got a few ideas that could definetly benefit from some Ti / PVD T48's in the future!!

i would prefer a t-48 upgrade crown with 2,1mm wideness.

rolli

hi ,

also zigmeister is fine,

or...... the board starts a name raffle for you..........LOL.....

rolli

Sh*t happens..............

Thinks are really fu**ed up............

<<<<< Some clarification on the new 318 from Sig. Bonati >>>>>

I am reading about the new watch Pam 318. In order to not create confusion, I want to tell you that this watch was created in order to honor the New York Boutique opening.

The movement is a little bit different than the other because of some components.

I remind you that we did something similar with Firenze. This watch is reserved for USA Boutiques.

Have fun

Angelo Bonati

BRIDGE FACTS

The Brooklyn Bridge opened to great fanfare in May 1883.

The names of John Roebling, Washington Roebling, and Emily Warren Roebling are inscribed on the structure as its builders.

Construction began on January 3, 1870. The Brooklyn Bridge was completed thirteen years later and was opened for use on May 24, 1883.

The Brooklyn Bridge might not have been built had it not been for Emily Warren Roebling.

Most history books cite her father-in-law John Roebling and her husband Washington Roebling as the bridges builders.

Early into construction in 1872, however, collapsing bridge timbers crushed John Roeblings legs, leaving him incapacitated; he later died of an infection related to this injury and left his son, Washington Roebling in charge of the bridge.

However, not long after taking charge of the bridge, Washington Roebling suffered a paralyzing injury as well, the result of decompression sickness.

This condition plagued many of the underwater workers, in different capacities, as the condition was relatively unknown at the time and in fact was first called "caisson disease" by the project physician Dr. Andrew Smith.

With both men out of commission, Emily Warren Roebling took over.

Under her husbands guidance, Emily had studied higher mathematics, the calculations of catenary curves, the strengths of materials, bridge specifications, and the intricacies of cable construction.

She spent the next 11 years supervising the bridges construction.

April Fools

Special Edition for the NY Boutique

hi all,

Pam 318 New Launch May 2009.

see images for details.

rolli

i think you didn't understand it.

the images of the casebacks are genuine 172 casebacks with tantalium lettering,

and gold lettering on the movemnt - officine panerai firenze.

the rep 172 casebacks have written titanium.

rolli

r two different case back... once without gold lettering and with titanium - not TANTALIUM wrote on the case back

the other with all the correct thinghs in place

I hv same 172, with gold lettering but with TITANIUM wrote on the case back instead tantalium... will bring to my goldsmith to rewrite!

the lettering officine panerai firenze on the movement is in gold.

rolli

"officine panerai firenze" in caseback mechanism shouldnt be in gold?
