I been spending a few weeks on these forums looking and trying to learn as much as I can on various watches and overall just enjoying the great reviews and pictures you guys have provided. I didn't realize it would become an addiction and although I was going to just get Watch A, the search for what I wanted has turned into my personal search of the "Holy Grail."

Trolling the forums I stumbled upon Joshua's Pam 026K and I realized I hit the whammy. Small butterflies started churning inside my stomach and I wanted this watch. I spend looking at the various pic's still waiting for Joshua to PM me back and his website seems to be down again but I love the look of the watch. I love the grey casing, its already super lumed and if the description is correct the strap is great as well which if its not can be remedied with a new 22mm from Strap-Works.

However, spending more and more time looking at pictures and reading up more I saw something finally addressed in article I didn't realize before. Its a "LEFTY." Keep in mind I don't own any reps and I only been a fan for a few weeks so don't mock me to bad. So here is where I have a few questions.

1) I love the overall look and based on his review and several others out of the box its a great watch with no mod's needed. However what are your guy's thoughts about it being a lefty?

2) I was considering the 177m but does it come in a PVD/Grey Color? It is the most appealing aspect of the watch in my opinion.

3) I understand that the same manufacturer makes a Pam 005 K and I am also aware that a 005 I Gen comes in PVD.

Here are my priorities and likes in order:

1) 026 Bezel color and the fact it is super lumed and no relume job is needed.

2) 026 is Titanium and much lighter then steel. (By much and how it feels differently is difficult for me to assess since I don't own anything in comparison).

Concerns:

1) How is the look on the left hand with the crown on the left side for right hand-users (meaning wearing it on the left hand with crown pointing at the forearm)? Is it bothersome etc. Discomfort. No difference?

2) Overall appeal wearing a 'Lefty' on the left hand side in cosmetic terms.

What I am looking for is basically the same watch or close to it in COLOR, in titanium by the same manufacturer or superior in quality as a right handed version. Any slamming, and mocking may begin now. I will consider all input and it will help me get closer to either purchasing the 026 or the exact item I been looking for.

Can you rephrase what you're having problems with and what you're trying to do?

P.S. Welcome to the fora!!!

Thanks for the responses guys. On Seadweller4000 write up

IW3253 Mark XV

Picture taken from Eunomians, check out his great posts regarding his awesome Franken Mark XV Fliegeruhr, here and here!

Be aware thet the genuine uses an ETA 2892-2 instead of a 2824. It is therefore 12mm instead of correct 10,5mm thick. The lughorns should be 18mm wide and the Caseback is taken from an UTC. Nevertheless a fantastic dresswatch � especially when modded like Euno�s.

The above links on his write-up are not working for me. I would like to see these mods as a new enthusiast.

I been looking for a little bid and cannot find anyone. Also for the IW 3253 Enu's mods, how can I view the mod link's for some reason I am getting blank screen's.
