What are you looking for? Male or female?

Beautifull and Sunny Day, time to go white:

Ok, forgive my ignorance, but I was told a few times on this forum that any "watchsmith" can waterproof a watch... And that this was done by "greasing the seal and the pin or something like that"...

Now after your help in finding a watch smith, I went ahead and called up your referrals and 3 others of my own... Every single watchsmith told me that all we can do is "pressure test" the watch, and making a watch "waterproof" is not something we do.... They also said, whether a watch will be waterproof or not totally depends on the "build or assembly" of the watch.... Now this is completely contrary to what I've been told...

I swim in every one of my watches, and always will... What am I missing here and why am I getting different information?

Thanks,

Jeremiah

Hello all,

I understand, that a 7750 movement requires servicing, immediately after arrival from Asia (or soon thereafter).

But is this also the case for ETA / ETA clone automatic (non chrono) movements? Or can they wait a year or two before having them serviced?

What do you do if you get a new watch with ETA / ETA clone movement?

Thank you for sharing your experience!

iT'S YOUR CHOICE. I haven't had any of mine serviced and so far, they keep on tickin! Some would say I'm playin with fire........fire's good!

Mon. - PAM111H on Dark Brown Paw Marker

Well, since we're talking about Safaris, here's mine on an AP BANDs dark brown Hornback:

on a black AP Bands Carbon Fiber with Red Stitching:

on Gen Rubber:

under water:

diving:

The rest of the weekend:

I don't know if this is good enough? What do you think, Vintage Rolex experts?

and some wristies:

Probably needs some more work on the dial.........

Thanks for looking!

I have to wear my PAM113 in Honor of Mr. Hackr for letting me know that its Grandma was on the market and rallied on my behalf:

Thanks, R- and ST4......finally!

Goddamn, this one gives me a chub. Is there a rep of it available with that strap?

Yup! That's in the group shot to the left and here on my wrist:

uhmmmmmn..... let's see the diff:

I can't tell the changes!

PM sent!

HumpDay=Ferrari!

I guess the stitching colour is to signify the colours of the Indian flag? That's what a guy at work said when he saw the pic of the watch.

Do the straps normally come with that case?

The straps came with that case !

Customs checks here first, and if you're a NOOB RWG member, they hold your watch until you become a supporter!!!

Kidding! You won't know until you try! I'm not from TX, but I have ordered about 50 watches outside of CONUS and so far, no worries!

So, you finally decided to Join the Charlie Sheen Club! Welcome.......don't feel too bad, I'm a member, too!

Cheers!

F-

I do like colors but the strap was modeled after the gen Sachin. The rep end links fit the AP bands strap without any modification. Plug and play.

Oracle end links and straps won't work with AP bands or rep end links and straps. I've tried...

Wow! You're lucky! I ordered 3 straps from AP Bands and all three needs a shaving of about 1/8th" to fit them properly! It was a bummer!

One was this brown Hornback:

and here's the three:

Nice! You must love colors!

The AP Bands strap, you didn't have to file the ends to fit it right?

Hi BT!

I've stoped playing PC games and not involved with day-to-day PC configs anymore, but what I figure is that almost all new games are grapics intensive and requires Graphics cards for gaming.....meaning very good GPUs and tons of memory!

On the CPU side, dual core is a must at the minimum.....Quad core is preffered! 4 Gigs of RAM are now de riguer for all graphics intensive applications!

Your System looks good, but I think needs more umph on the System memory and GPU card for gaming!

my 4 cents worth! I'm pretty sure some Gamers will chime in here very soon! I have a quad core System with 4Gig RAM and 2 Terabytes of storage! I use my machine mainly for DVD movie de-crypting and Recoding to my Hard drive for a Multi-media Home Theater use and some Adobe CS4 use!

Good luck!

Get a-hold of Jushua and explain the status of the watch when you got it! He'll take it back! Don't play around

with it anymore and don't take it to a watchsmith without contacting him first!

I decided to declare this a PAM workweek for me, so here goes:

Mon.

Tues.

Wed.

Thurs.

and Fri.

Have a good work week RWG!

Time to make an appointment with The Zigmeister or Vac! Might as well have it repaired and serviced!

@david-oz

You mean the "Mini-Fiddy"! That's a special model.....and hard to get! If you're interested in a 44mm 1950 case, go with the PAM 270.....

It looks like this:

on the wrist:

PM BigCrown, he knows the source!

Still wearing this on Father's Day!
