What can I say? Congrats mate, you got my wishlist......

Yes it's real carbon fiber bezel, I been polished the bezel......

My dealer advised me don't do any clean (sonic wash) or oil for A7750 movement, cuz those components of A7750 do not come from good materials...if service the movement it may be die very soon...So Chinese stuff that Chinese factory can fix it......

OEM Burgundy semi-mat gator strap

Hi Pete, if a Franken AP ROO Safari super Mod. with Gen dial+ETA2892-DD+HKTan horn back strap and your Franken PAM217 which one will you choose?

The best out of box PAM rep congrats mate......

It's H-factory's PAM360 v1, but PWC released PAM360 v2 looks much better than the v1......

PAM360 v2

PAM360 V2, is easy the best out of box PAM rep......

It's not the Pre-V hands on 218a why?

No more love in Fiddy, I preferred those new PAMs shown on SIHH 2011...so REP factory have to create new decoration or movement closed to Panerai in-house Cal. P.9000 and P.3000 movements

Whole watch is a great combination but the hands...so may be I need to pay extra 50~100 bucks for Pre-V hands and lume...It's really bad......

I like this PAM360 and how much will you quote us?

For 201A you can choose Dirk (the best Pre-V strap) or Strap-Works 1860 series (the most cheap Pre-V strap but pretty good)

I saw senior watchsmith refinished brushed CG and the method refer to below,

1. Screw off CG and lever pin, prepare two tools 1), big size #800 sandpaper 2), 30 cm length heavy thick ruler

2. Put CG on sandpaper and CG to case side (not the round side) touch ruler

3. Pull CG on sandpaper 5 ~ 10 times by one direction, then CG wills refinish likes the new one

My Paneristy friend told me the gator strap always buy OEM and the vintage or calf strap always buy Manifatture Firenze strap those two vendors will make you happy and satisfaction guarantee......

Zigmeister always provide the best quality PVD and Lume, but you need to wait and $$......

Just a bit better than new DSN 202A...So why need to pay that much cost to build an item still far away from the Gen 202A?

Congratulation! PeteM is right that MF is the best aftermarket strap manufacturer for PAM in the world. The real Firenze; real top hide and buckle; real top quality, every PAM fans must get at least one strap from MF. I have worn my RXW MM20 with MF 1942 strap sewn brushed GPF buckle almost 6 years. The strap changed into very beautiful vintage ember tan color, almost like what you saw the strap on vintage PAM watch book.

So mate did those six hands, crown, stem, tube parts come from rep AP ROO sec@12 also available for AP ROO with ETA 2892-A2-DD movement?

Concord with ETA 2892-A2-DD movement almost $1,000 not only $300

Tag Heuer 2000 Professional with ETA 2892-A2-DD movement

111J case + Goin CG are the best combo for Pre-A, Pre-V project, the combo are easy to get and not high cost, they almost replaced other sources.

One key point but lot of mates didn't know, GEN Fiddy is front loaded mvmt case so why Eddie Lee's Fiddy case is high value? cuz it is same spec as GEN. But the majority Fiddy from Cartel and DSN or what ever where it came from? they are all back loaded mvmt case. It's a "SUPER BIG FLAW" on majority Fiddy. Where can find the front loaded Fiddy? sorry it is no more source right now. And why does Fiddy case back with number E0581/1950 is high value? cuz it is the best case back fits EL Fiddy case and also no more source right now. The majority Fiddy case back is number E0117/1950.

My dealer told me that he will sell one more item of E0581/1950 case back to me but need to wait one or two weeks. How many item you need?

As I know Simona and Ferretti straps were same maker before, but some reason that Simona has transfered to another new maker. So Simona Bruno strap is different from Ferretti. Off course Simona's Bruno strap is more popular and sale than Ferretti.

Golden week holidays.....
