@kenberg "Ok so obviously the 20 bucks a watch that this works out to is flawed as they accept that there would not be 40mil buyers of gens if there was no reps." Hey! Where can I find these $20 watches, darn I could make a killing reselling them! I could put the Cartel and the rest of the Gang out of businees!

#8 - the BlackSteel! Good one!

@prince....PM sent! @storm.......thanks, Mate!

I have the same watch and it's normal for that crystal because of the curvature!

Hump Day: Thurs: and Fri.....end of the PAM Week for me:

So what's holding you back from Buying from your "trusted dealer who I've purchased from beating all the dealers I've looked at." Maybe you could share his site so that we could get the same discount? Thanks in advance! Hike

I notice that, but chrom plating on a Pearl???? Pls educate me?

Thanks, and Nope! Pearl is AS/IS! Centered? on the triangle on the bezel? It was centered AS/IS! If you mean lined up with the 12 on the Dial, the bezel insert fell off and I had to re-glue it, so I aligned it meself! BTW: Does your DEEPSEA lume on the 2 and 4 don't emit as much luminosity as the rest of the markers? Mine seem to be less bright as the rest of them that it looks wierd in the dark! Cheers!

That's what I'm tokin 'bout! Now let's see some RIBS!

Don't forget the IWC FA Jones:

Alright guys! I've seen so many post all over about painting jobs on their DSSD Bezels that I decided and do it......and I didn't even have to buy the paint (and BTW: this can of paint is like 2 years old ) ....I just grab the only white spray paint I have in the garage and did it. I used an old watercolor paint brush and trimmed it doe to about 10 hairs and apply 3 coatings.....I mean, apply 1 coat, have it dry and then cleaned by slowly stripping the excess dry paint with a plastic scraper and then clean it up with a dab of mineral spirits on a cotton bud and then rinse it in soap and warm water with a very soft bristle tooth brush .....repeated 3 times. So here goes, tell me what you think! First, the before: and After (I purposely left an arrow effect @ the 9 marker as my signature! ): Close-up of the 30Sec. Front: 15Sec side: and the DSSD and paint:

I'm gonna go with PAMs this week: Mon. and I'll change strap on Tues:

Congrats my friend! Hope u have many more years to come!

Hi G! Thanks! Excelletn tutorial, but I don't have the guts to do the dial! I'll leave that to the experts! I did just the bezel! I'll post some pics when I get done! Hike

Here you go: Go to panatime.com

That's a beautiful shot, Freddie! Love it!

Thanks, Dude! I didn't know there's such a thing! Hobby Lobby or Michaels might have it! Loctite Super Glue not good enough?

they have some nice watches on this issue! The new IWC's looks nice.....can't wait for those....the UNs! Now I have to get one of those!

I was thinking of that. Do you think the depth of the insert is fine?

Watch Time April '09 have a review of the Sea Dweller.....I took some pictures of the cover with mine on top..... with the insert out....it feel off! What a bummer .........anyone tried putting this back on? I mounted it back, but not glued yet: Is the depth just right? I'm just wondering koz there was a thick layer of something plastic that I took out from inside of the bezel inself? Any ideas/suggestions will be highly appreciated! Thanks! Hike

Thanks! Nope, it came that way! I guess its too much for the China Man to install 2 more screws!

Right on! First pint for me, pls!

Dude! I think you'd look cool in a PAM in that get up! IMHO!

I was also worried about it, so I tested it first empty and slowly pump it until it reached about 90psi! I held it there for about 5 mins and when nothing happened then I know I was good! One thing though, as the pressure goes up, air will start to come out at he cap, so you have to tighten as you go! I also wrap a few rounds of white water pipe tape (the one you use to join two water pipes at home) on the threaded mouth of the water bottle and that help seal it, but you still have to tighten as the pressure increase! BTW: after the test, it would be very, very tight (and I think only Lani can open it at this point! ), so you have to pump the pressure up again until you feel the air coming out, then you very slowly start to untighten the top cover, when it's loose enough, then you turn off the pump! XELOR!!!

Today: And back to the new tool watch for the weekend:
