Anyone know where I can pick up a nice black suede strap with black stitching for my PAM 177 at a reasonable price?

Thanks!

Well, this dip$hit never replied back to me, so I hope he likes his expensive fake bracelet. The stupid punish themselves.

It gives me a headache just looking at it!

I waaaaaaaaaaaant it!

It's my personal policy to never write "LOL" or "LMFAO" anywhere on the internet. But right now I am literally laughing my F'ing a$$ off.

That was hilarious.

One of my favorites...

A guy walks into a bar, looks around and sees a pretty young girl sitting by herself. He buys her a drink and introduces himself. They begin to talk and have some friendly conversation. The conversation gets personal and he asks her if she'd ever been seriously involved with a man. She tells him "Yes, I was married once, but it didn't work out."

"What happened?" he replied. "Well, I was into kinky sex and he just couldn't handle it. It became a troublesome point in our marriage and eventually led to our divorce" she explained. "My God" he exclaimed, "I'm also into kinky sex and it too caused the divorce of me and my wife!"

Their conversation progressed and eventually they left the bar and went to her place. Once inside, she gave him a wry smile and said "I'm going to put on something a little less comfortable."

She went into her bedroom and adorned herself in a skin-tight latex body suit, knee-high patent leather boots, a mask, and then grabbed a worn leather riding crop. Filled with excitement, she strode out of the bedroom only to find him walking out the front door. "Hey, where are you going? I thought we were going to have kinky sex?" she asked. He looked at her and in a matter-of-fact tone, said "well, I just F'd your cat and took a $ht in your purse....I think I'm pretty much done here."

Well my goodness! My wallet just jumped out of my back pocket and just pressed "Buy It Now"! What on earth do you suppose that's all about?

Seriously, I think I've found a new hobby. I'd definitely like a Gen at some point (after I'm done with my PhD, maybe), but for now, this thing is pretty good.

you gotta post some pics!

Yes I have the same problem here. Instead of letting the A/C unit do it's job, she turns the temperature way UP or way DOWN depending on if she's too hot or too cold .. she thinks it will get better "faster" if she sets it to an extreme temperature.

Haha, yes. i keep telling her that the car will get to 72F degrees before it will get to 80F degrees, but she still cranks it up there...in manual...

Good song...

I love reps. But I hate scammers. I'm so happy to see the people of RWG helping to stop these pathetic scam artists before some unsuspecting eBayer gets taken for a mint. Reps should be enjoyed by people who appreciate the beauty of a fine watch who may not have the means to purchase the gens of all the watches they love. They should not be used to rob people who trust they are getting the genuine article.

Keep up the good work!

My wife is exactly the same!!! Drives me crazy! Her old car was a 2007 Corvette Convertible. Had the Dual Zone auto settings. Worked like a champ. Now we have a 2009 Mercedes E-Class with the same thing. When I drive the car, I set it to auto and we are off to the races. When she drives the car and it's too hot, she dials the bloody temp settings down to sub-zero temps and cranks the fan up to "full speed ahead captain"! Then she gets cold, so she turns the heat up to the "I am hotter than the sun" setting. I have tried endlessly, and painlessly, to explain to her that we spend a lot of money for these nice little conveniences and yet she just flat out refuses to use them.

I feel your pain my friend!! It's a battle that we will never, ever win (but you can be damn sure we will keep on fighting the good fight!)

Yea, I've got the MB C-350 and the temp control works perfectly. But she can't let it go!

Let the battle rage on!

Do they have reps of these?

Here's a funny story (and not necessarily one that illustrates my opinion of Tag):

I was in Bahrain with some friends and I stopped by the Gold Souk and picked up a few fairly cheap quartz reps. One was a very nice looking Tag Grand Carrera Calibre 17. Aside from having a quartz movement, this thing was spot-on. The fit and finish were extraordinary. After about 30 minutes of haggling (you have to haggle in Bahrain) I paid $80USD for it.

My buddy, on the other hand, decided he was going to splurge and invest in a gen. We went to an AD in the huge Bahrain mall and he threw down $3200 (on sale) on the Carrera calibre 16 chrono with the SS bracelet. It was very nice, but held up side to side with my $80 rep it was hard to distinguish between the build quality and fit & finish.

But here's the funny part: exactly one week later, he was looking at the movement through the exhibition back and saw a lose screw bouncing around in the case! He had to send the watch back for warranty repair and it took months for him to get his watch back.

The entire time, I was sure to tell him daily what time it was since he did not have a working watch and I did!

Congrats man, I got the same on in the mail right now!

I've love this watch. I had bid on a couple of gens on eBay, but always seemed to miss the mark by a little bit.

One of the things I love about the SMP's are the bands. They look super nice.

Great photos and review! I think this one will have to go on the wish list...

It seems like all the newer cars have automatic temperature control. I've been in a lot of cars where it doesn't work so well. However, mine is not one of those. My car's auto setting works perfectly.

I hit auto and set the temp in my zone and i don't have to think about it at all. It does an outstanding job of regulating the temperature, humidity and airflow perfectly.

But then my wife gets in the car, and cannot seem to leave well enough alone. She instantly takes manual control and manually sets the fan speed, temperature, AC, etc. It drives me nuts! Her car is one of those cars that doesn't work very well, but I keep telling her that mine works great, please leave it alone. I tell her if she's hot or cold, adjust the temp [censored] for her side and let the car do the work. But of course, she cannot do this. This morning we're driving and the windows start to fog up, I look down and she has the auto turned off and the AC is off. Then she asks me "why are your windows fogging up, I've never seen them do that before?" To which I reply "because you seem to think you are smarter than my car and won't let it do its job of maintaining the correct settings. Just let it do its job!"

Anyway, I just had to vent. Does anyone else have this problem?

P.S. She also hates using the bluetooth speakerphone in the car. She'd rather drive with one hand holding the phone to her ear. (The speaker and mic work perfectly as well).

I love her, but she's insane...

First time reading this thread. I skipped right to the last page. What's the deal? Am I not supposed to post here?

Dang...now I think I need to add the Hublot Diver 4000M to the list.

Anyone else see this:

I agree with the Rolex comment Ade, that it draws what could be (depending on the wearer) un-necessary attention. Now that I look at them side by side, you could be right, I am leaning in the direction that the DSSD is too big. On the other hand, the Sub is 40mm, smaller than the PO, I love my PO, but now I am wishing I got the 45mm instead of the 42mm, so the SUB is out.

I think a wee bit more "face" on the PO would have been a wee bit better for my wrist. The 45.5,, PO is only slightly thicker than the 42, but still 2.5mm less than the DSSD. I don't really need two PO's, and I don't really want to sell this one as it keep awesome time, and is a great REP. to risk getting a not great 45.5mm REP. Aaaarrrrgggggghhhhh.

I kinda think the same thing about the PO Wetwork. I kinda wish I would have gotten the 45mm as well. I was just going off what I've heard a lot of people say about the size. The 42mm looks good on my wrist, but I think the 45mm would have a had little more substantial presence.

As far as the DSSD, the reason it doesn't draw attention on me is when people see me, they'd be surprised if I wasn't wearing a $10,000 Rolex. That's just how I roll..

I saw they have a 60mm PAM... my GOD!

60mm?? That's like strapping a wall clock onto your wrist!

Yea, I agree. I always like to look at the QC pics people post here too. I just also want to respect Andrew's request as much as possible. When my watch arrives, I will take many good photos for my next review. Looking forward to writing it!

I've got a watch box that has 12 spots in it. I've decided that 12 is going to be my limit.

I've got 9 right now so I need to chose the rest wisely!
