Now THAT'S something new for a change...

I second that.... (I believe it's called MPP "massively parallel processing")

If it is non-branded, all customs can do, is charge you import taxes. They won't confiscate the watch....

If you do want to receive your PAM from within the EU, other than waiting for a member there to sell such a watch, your best sources are Precious Time (PT) or Eurotimez (who currently does not have a PVD model listed on his site but might be able to source one). Send them a pm/mail and ask them about the watch you want.

This is the watch from page 1 of this thread. I bought it a few weeks later from sql_pl and it has been running flawlessly ever since. It is one of my favorite reps, very closely replicated and well made. It looks great with the original ss bracelet and equally

just very, very beautiful.

All PAM base (Luminor / Radiomir) use 6497 and all 6497 based movements (swiss or asian) are handwind by design.

Congratulations.... nice find...and... in great shape

Now that's something totally different for a change.... Enjoy your new toy....

.... these are two EU based dealers and good ones on top. However, they don't repair or mod... Rep friendly watchmakers are hard to find and good modders as well. Welcome to the habit...

As Phoband said, the answers are all here... forum members are usually happy to help - unless you give them the feeling that your first stop is the "answer all my questions in five minutes so I can move on and buy my rep" section. Enjoy the addiction...

There are exceptions to the rule but sizing a bracelet is one of the easier tasks - provided (as always) - you have proper tools. There is a toolkit sold on Amazon, which will be good enough unless you plan to dig deeper into working on reps. There is two basic ways - screws and pins that will hold extra links that can be added or removed to change the length of a bracelet. For the screws (like Rolex Submariners), you need a decent small watchmaker screwdriver and a little plastic holder (part of the toolkit) to hold the bracelet while you size it (remove one link at a time to get to the desired length). For the pin version (like on the Omega PO or SMP), you need a little hammer and a pin-driver (for lack of the right word...) and the plastic holder (all part of the toolkit)... it's not that difficult if you don't have two left hands....

You will find the most in-depth review from SD4k here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=71087 It's a beautiful watch... but as PAM1A said, with a couple of nasty problems... I have one too - with striped tube and scratched datewheel...

I have both watches..... and as ZTech said, if you need to dress up every once in a while, take the PO which is pretty much like a Submariner - it fits for every occasion. It is one of the very few chronos that can be used under water (the gen, that is) and it is a great watch. The Oris is also a quality piece and I love my CC but that watch is more on the surfer side of life. It does not fit under a cuff and it looks kinda stupid with a suit. The PO can be put on a leather strap easily, the Oris needs custom made straps. The original rubber strap cannot easily be changed in size (like a standard leather strap) someting that bothers me in summer because when its hot, I like my wristbands wider... At the end of the day, you need to decide. Either way, you can't really go wrong...

Thread should be re-labled ...."this WAS James from Bestswiss"

Greg, I don't see you having done anything wrong...the "good guy" label still sticks...

That's a mighty fine strap... and it fits the CC very nicely. Do you mind to share how much he charges for a strap like this?

Welcome to the habit. Here you will find all the information neccessary to make this a fun habit. Read a lot, soak in the wealth of information available, contribute and enjoy.... er, did I say welcome?

That started my day with a smile... thanks.

Allways hard to loose a friend - furry or not - my condolences...

I assure you, he's heard that one before..... (and we too

Ooops... sorry to hear that...

I only now read this... hope this heals quickly... eyesight is a most precious thing.
