*removes Datora crystal* Wanna swap?

Pabler, not sure if it's the angle, but it seems like your slide rule lines go all the way to the dial? You'll notice the others stop short... Just wondering if it's a different source to what the Cartel has available?

It's been said around the forums that after CNY the auto PAM series will be receiving upgrades, so might be best to hold off on the PAMs for a little while. Have a look at the 312 posts in the PAM section.

Felt 'Lingy today...

Outer slide rule... Dish the source...

Love the Datora too But the Montbrillant Legende... Now that's yummy

It makes for interesting viewing, but keep an open mind, everyone has some sort of agenda. There is truth to the part about the financial markets though, how they can be the richest sector while producing nothing, literally NOTHING of value, astonishes the hell out of me...

Hahaha

+1, saving my pennies for that one

You must have been really bored... kinda works, the new fac with the old school Slide Rule... Looks like what would result between the consummation between a Navitimer and an Aerospace...

A single-handed watch? Cool! What about... A stealth no-brand base dial with stealth black lume, and a single sterling silver (or 18k gold) hour hand, that would look crazy! What about asking Francisco for a custom job, he could probably modify one of his hands to suit Let us know how it turns out.

Fantastic, I had no iea how these were made... All the best with your own crystal project BG

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, I kinda like it It's absolutely ridiculous, but it certainly makes a statement. A little history of Scott Devon, who is a Daddy's Money entrepeneur: Link to article Scott Devon, whose father founded the frozen garlic bread company Cole's Quality Foods, has spent the past two decades investing millions of dollars in a variety of the most expensive pursuits imaginable. First there was polo (he became a part owner of the Catamount team in 2004), then race cars (his firm's car broke lap records in 2009), and now watches: His company's Thread 1 timepiece features a mysterious treadmill-like belt technology made by an aerospace company and retails for $15,000 (see, he even managed to work in space travel, sort of!). So this month he did what anyone with a couple extra hundred million dollars in the bank would do: throw a huge party with lots of models and socialites to launch a full-scale fashion label named after himself. The party took place earlier this month. Sam Ronson D.J.'d while Nicky Hilton, Whitney Port, and Nicolette Sheridan trooped into Devon's car showroom turned retail store, a 10,000-square-foot affair called Devon Works in Beverly Hills. Even WWD can't take Devon seriously, noting, "Whether out of brazenness, naïveté, arrogance, stupidity or a combination, Devon leaps into new businesses with going-for-the-gold gusto." The profile continues: “I’ve invested millions up to this point,” said Devon, who is unsure of precisely when a return will be realized. “I think the watch could even carry the brand this year, so its nice to have one hit, but we haven’t even showed the rest.…We have major people behind us that know how to build brands and promote brands, so it is not like we have a lack of expertise on our end. So, I think we have a good shot.” Devon has hired a few fashion industry insiders to help him start his brand, most notably Meadow Hochfelder, who has worked with Donna Karan and Rachel Roy. He's also enlisted custom leather-maker Agatha Blois and designer Keith Lissner. Devon admits that not everything he touches turns to gold, but he's not that worried about it. Back in 1995, he had his mind set on introducing fine gourmet bread to Grand Rapids residents with the Saint-Honoré French Bakery and Tea Room. They weren’t exactly storming the doors. “That didn’t work financially, but I look at it like we made some of the world’s best bread...Not everything you do works financially, but you can be happy creatively.”

I would say it's like the mafia, we get in to acquire pretty things, but we end up getting sucked dry withno chance of escape... )

It does! The tourby revolves every 60s

How the hell can you tell it's a telecaster from these pics?

I agree with the OP, as soon as I saw these in an advertisement in Europe, I thought they were very unique. Their electronic snap on doovers for dive watches are fantastic

It's funny that they would picture a special forces type as wearing a Rolex. Apparently among the army types they wear the cheapest watches they can find, and wearing a metal bracelet is a liability, they wear silicone (or rubber) straps and tape them up with matte black tape, easy to cut off in case of accident, just a quick slice with the knife. Good pick by the OP

Hope the increased attention from the forum hasn't jacked the price up! It was a nice enough piece but I'm sure they come up fairly regularly, judging from the number on there at any one time... Good Luck and happy bidding, remember, you never bought it unless you post pics on RWG

From what I see, it's the Chinese that copied the blue tape from the Swiss

Based on the seller record and pics, I'd say gen

Agreed... Even our rep dealers deserve a holiday, a bit of patience, jeez!

Just checked out Perrelet, you can find some real bargains on the Bay and ober the web, these are going for much less than I assumed. Great, well constructed pieces.

Holy crap! From someone who saw snow for the first time at 16, that's a shitload of snow Thumbs up for snowmobiling, that looks like insane fun!
