We all seem to agree on the 3717

That's a nice group shot, R! I think it's time for me to give you a visit soon to see the Discovery on my own wrist. Very tempting....

Thnx for (re-)posting! This is an excellent introductional level forum for those who wants to know more about the technical stuff of watches.

Last week I tried on a gen K-series PAM088. It seems like the CG have been updated as well and have the tappered shape now. However, the CG was polished and the lever was brushed. I'm not sure from which series of they changed it. Perhaps some of the experts can fill in? @Dani: great project!

The 3, 6, 9, and 12 markers are about twice too thick. They can be removed easily and glued back after thinning them.

Then there's only one way to go: http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=221 (+cannon pinion upgrade). Add Superlume, remove the AR and it's the closest to the gen you can get.

Awesome! And who needs more than 2 watches since we only have 2 hands?

MONDAY & TUESDAY Lorenz Theatro

Looking great there, Andy

Wow, she's a real beauty!

Great story! Already tried it as a sticky ball to open up case backs?

The Gaytona would defintely suit your Avatar

Oh boy, so this is were I'm going to after just having bought a gen Link Chrono and saving for a PAM111 now..... @Skool: I can see where you're going to with a sporty tool watch and a dressy evening watch. For just that little extra variety you might wanna add a PAM....

I say let SQL win one of the Raffle watches and make him post new pics with Ola!!!

Indeed the only options are either a DSN dial or a standard rep dial from one of the other collectors. I'm afraid you're not going to find any gen dial..... Good luck with modding! I'm sure you'll be happy with the result of all the mods.

Welcome aboard, Lewis! Good to see new members with interest and knowledge in the more technical details

That's the only way for a flying start Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! Good to see another Daytona freak next to Freddy and Ubi

Too bad he's not showing a frontal picture, so we can check the L Swiss L and the shape of the 2, 3 and 6. Note that the fonts on the gen are supposed to be yellowish off-white. These look clear white as sandwhich dials from all collectors still do. Also double check that the dial is the right color of black. Sometimes it's just the lightening, but other times DSN has slightly different and incorrect dial colors.

Great collection, Hike!

Angus's 'ultimate' version` has mineral glass too, but apart from that looks pretty ok and has the correct sans-serif font in the subdial.

Don't forget to add the correct shape of the 2, 3, 6 and the yellow offwhite font for the perfect H-series dial...... Love the strap!

I'll be in France for a week, so I need to pass on this one... Have fun!

Welcome aboard! And indeed interesting to follow your posts Please check http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=77870. You never know.....

Exactly my feelings too. Over the last few years I've bought, modded and sold several PAMs. But every time there's that little voice inside me that points me out the flaws. Instead of enjoying the almost perfect rep I can only see the - minor - flaws. Thinking of buying a gen PAM111 now to satisfy the hunger.... Oh, and I'm broke too Congrats with the new watch!
