  1. Remember to make a nice, hot and thick JAVA....method was already described by Steve Martin
  2. I am goona give a 75 WATT bulp "Terra Action" the chance.....steam on the dial and let it dry quick....lets see Theo
  3. ....I do have one of these bulps for a terrarium...bought that in a pet-shop .....I will give it a try for some hours. All further info, links, helps, knowledge,....on that topic will be fine. Theo
  4. Hi guys, saw the Coffe and smoke thread and that reminds me on my own projects waiting to be finished. Currently I am looking for a method to brighten up the matte black color of PAM dials without damaging the white printed words on it???? I tried steam and quick-dry under a hot bulp to make the black fade to grey.....could take ages....I want to achieve a look like it has been worn 60 years under the bright italian sun. I tried the sandpaper method...but these damned dials are thinner than a bible-page....and the color does not fade but only disappear (and it disappears not equally on the whole dial)....the edges show their brass quicker than I wanted! Any clues and hints and help is greatly apreciated, thx. Theo
  5. Hi guys, just ordered one piece in Kevlar for my Offshore.....price is high, yes, but they do look nice...will post review and pic as soon as it is in. Theo
  6. OK guys...just to bring some light in the darkness: The box was handmade on request of a dutch Paneristi. Made of wood, conolly leather and aloy. The price of the box was way above the $5000 mentioned! All the watches are real deals....but this guy was a bit PVD crazy in those days (2004) and had several PAM
  7. Those straps are quite nice ... but 4 of the same kind is a bit too much....and the seller trys to make same additional bucks with his shipping rate...how is he delivering?....Fly over to your home and hand out personally? 48$ shipping is 6 times more than any other normal rate! So I
  8. This is a funny story and I do know that there are many ignorant people out there who just buy a watch cause they like the look....but c
  9. I also pulled the trigger.....can you show pics of the watch???!!! Theo
  10. wow, thats good news....shot a message to him right away. Can you please post a pic of the dial?! Thx for sharing, Theo
  11. Looks damn nice....beside the T-SWISS-T on that dial.....why can
  12. ...in addition to the wrong CALIFORNIA on that dial .... the complete dial and indizees color is wrong. The gen has got engraved numbers that were filled with a kind of vintage-looking lume...they look sunken from some angle. Anyway, this rep is a beautiful piece, I love it....I have the WM-version and the russian version, I also own this "new" 249 version of the reference 3646 and I have another one on the way (because strap chnage is a bit of a hassle and you allways need to glue the screws when you tight them to avoid loosing them Go ahead....there are only 1936 pieces in real live, Theo
  13. @ROB....sorry to hear you were spoiled again....I knew the pain to deal with timewaisters and I understand that sucks....putting those members on a spam-list is a good alternativ to sort out! @mrnixon....The Zigmeister is no watchmaker, he has no shop...he is a hard working man with "normal-every-day-job" but with an addictiv hobby DIY-watchmaking .... therefor he has to schedule all the work he offers....and thats a really good thing cause you def. know when your beloved watch will be on his desk for repair...so you also know when it will be back at your doorstep. Go to a local watchsmith, leave your broken rep/gen with him and you will get an approximate date to pick it up again....but normally I have to call several times and remind them on the work to be done....the better/bigger the customer the faster the service. You won
  14. TO ALL WHO CHANGED THE STRAP ON THEIR B&R INSTRUMENT: ...I have a stainless steel 46mm version, unfortunately I got it with stripped screw heads and can
  15. ....yes this project might come to a good end but unfortunately the strap and buckles sell good w/o engraving. I for one am def. in for 2 strap/buckle combos....money is burning a hole in my pockets:P Theo
  16. @overboosted Now come on and lets discuss this on your original thread, lets not highjack this group-sale-debate. theo
  17. As Richard and I were saying.....that was her standard price and she only wants to calculate a price... so she needs the total aimed order Theo
  18. ...you must understand that.....you mailed with a PROBLEM and yoda mailed with upcoming BUSINESS Be asured... she knows you are waiting! Theo
  19. ...they are down for 3 days now ohoh....trouble is lurking So I will encrease my member profile a bit....heavy posting to all. Theo
  20. Yes thats true, the 24mm version is being sold since 2 weeks now...unfortunately w/o the nice engraving on it. I saw many posts on other forea where they show them off. I believe that Angus will not come up with this....it seams there is allways a different project coming in his way that gets higher priority. Hope to see it one day though....my PP is ready to shoot money Theo
  21. I agree with most of the above said......the 600$-range is a bit too high....and YES, when the price will drop to a very very special price of 400$ some people will enter the HBB train. JUST MY PERSONAL 0.02$: I don
  22. Andrew is correct....the PAM025 is the Submersible in Titanium with a "Clou de Paris" or Paris-Hobnail-Dial....unfortunately never made it as a rep....what a shame Theo
  23. I press my thumbs for you.....I asked for a track No......no answer yet, allthough I paid 1 week ago.....hope she will fix all outstanding issues and deliveries. Theo
