  1. I've had success using small needles to remove unwanted text. Takes a STEADY hand, loupe, and a lot of time however. Good luck!

  4. My grail 1665 SRSD Prototype on a 'bond style' 16mm vintage RAF strap. All gen minus the midcase/caseback and refinished dial
  5. The engravings are some of the better ones I've seen. Font is close and it's done with a pantograph machine (as opposed to rotary). What do you guys think? http://www.ebay.com/sch/rrtvrn/m.html?item=271611690288&hash=item3f3d517d30&pt=Wristwatches&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562&_vilcat=31387
  6. Hey all, Saw that a dealer had the Noob version 026K (v3) in stock, so I jumped at the chance (last I'd heard everyone was out of stock) and purchased it. Now that I've recieved QC pictures, I'm not so sure it's a Noob v3 after all. They're claiming that it's a "new Noob batch, with a lighter pvd color", but I have a feeling it's just an H-fac v2. To my knowledge, the Noob v3 has: -darker pvd coating -when not glowing, has whiter (less yellow) lume -different crown guard (though I'm a rollie guy, so I have a harder time identifying differences here) -better engraved (more recessed) run/serial number on caseback Can anyone who's owned one/both help me identify what this is?! Previous threads on the 026K: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/149113-my-new-026k/ http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/170244-gritty-hand-wound-movement-on-pam-026k/ rwi panerai 026k repgeek panerai 026k See QC pics I recieved below:

  16. I recently purchased a pantograph machine with the intent of engraving some custom fonts previously created. However, due to time constraints, I don't think I'll be able to learn how to use the machine. My question is: Are there any members here or on the other forums that are proficient with a manual engraver? I know nightwatch is, + a couple others, but I'd like to find one in CONUS if possible...
  17. Here's what might be the same type of bracelet: http://www.network54.com/Forum/207593/thread/1334653508/Common+Reference+Number...
