    The beauty of the 3717 is that even though it's very accurate, you're able to swap all rep parts out for gen ones without any machining whatsoever.

    Not totally true - you can only use the gen hands if you install a gen movement - you can't put gen hands on the A7750 unless you broach the gen hands to make it larger to fit the Asian cp.

    Crazy ass cuban mofo :D

     

    What is the point of all this, I like ZK but this sort of childish tantrum gets nowhere, the mods here are probably the least trigger happy of almost any forum on the net I've come across. ZK walked a tightrope on a fair few occasions so he was bound to have a tumble sooner or later...... If he just cooled down and apologized and gave it some time he might have received another chance in due course. That looks unlikely now.

    Tomas, you make it sound like the world will crumble if he spills the beans, that won't really happen, but he still shouldn't do it as it is childish and unfair, like throwing the dolls out of the pram. Silly really! He shouldn't forget that people he has dealt with also have his address and once the lifetime subscription to Bestiality Monthly magazine comes flying through his door he might regret his actions.

    I'm surprised no one has yet to make a Kim Jong Un joke.

    I certainly wouldn't accept them if they were scratches, but AFAIK, ceramic doesn't scratch leaving a white mark like that, so most likely lint on the case.  The screwheads, yes most likely scratches so should be rejected.

     

    The Pam looks ok to me - the position of the hands might make the dial seem lopsided a little.

    Paypal is biased towards the buyer. If youre a seller and some POS decides to scam you then you're screwed. Your account will be suspended while they 'investigate' the claim against you. No apologies for holding your money for more than 3 weeks even if you're innocent.

  22. OEM Ceramic... Is it all its cracked up to be..?

    Ceramic is really a pretty awful material for a watch.. especially taking a steel component and making it from ceramic without a redesign, Steel and Ceramic have totally different properties so the design should account for that. i.e. Ceramic should not have thin bits to crack, where as steel will flex so thin parts survive.

    The ceramics being used by watchmakers were mostly created for bearings and wear surfaces, where the loading is strictly controlled, and direct impacts non existent. Every watch is guaranteed to suffer a few good sized knocks during it's life and the materials used should survive this with minimum damage.
