  1. The 45 UPO orange bezel is lighter and closer to shade of gen. I've had 4 UPO's , 2 Swiss and 2 light versions to compare to my friends gen. Why this is so is beyond me!
  2. I just got back from taking the family to Disney World for 8 days, and I couldn't believe I did not spot 1 Pam the entire time. However, there were plenty of Rolexes to be seen, especially Subs!!!
  3. I would love to have to have one of these skull buckles with the red eyes! Very cool work!
  4. Put me down for a brown. It would be great if the could do a JV strap in the future.
  5. It could be the 113 that ruby used to sell. Hers came with a polished cg though.I got one from her back when I first got into reps 5+ yrs ago. The reason I think it might be from her is mine has a super clear crystal with a pinkish hue and yours looks like it does also. It also had the correct L SWISS MADE L at the bottom.
  6. It's taking alittle longer than expected because of the curves and thickness. No worries as it can and is being done as they have my OEM 212/253 crystal to go by. It's just not as quick as our flat 44mm Luminor crystals took. They will be 100% exact in everyway, including A/R when they are done. It makes such a huge difference, you cannot even describe or see it in a picture, as so many have tried to do. The only way is to see it in person, or compare a rep 253 to a friends gen 253 side by side,but in person.
  7. I've got a Gen 253 Blue Hand that I have been saving to install on this watch. It took forever and was just by luck that I was able to get it. Still haven't got a gen dial yet and that probabaly won't come along. Anyway when my new 253 gets here I'll let you know how close it is. In pics, it's so hard to tell the shade of things.But no matter what it's 1000% better than previous blue hands,which was a total joke IMHO.
  8. Hello everyone, I'm Crown's partner in these Swiss Corundrum projects. That is my Franken 212 in the pic's that will be disassembled to use my OEM crystal for the mold. Anyone who need's to get a hold of me can not only pm me, but certainly feel free to e-mail me at pegram@carolina.rr.com. Crown made a mistake in the heading and put 243 instead of 253...LOL...guess he was excited. The price is $169.00 per crystal plus shipping. You can PP the money to pegram@carolina@carolina.rr.com. Shipping rates are: USPS PRIORITY $8.00 USPS EXPRESS $22.00 USPS GLOBAL PRIORITY $14.00 USPS EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL $32.00 If you have any questions, please don't hesistate to e-mail or pm me.
  9. Which dealer did the 228 blue dial come from? Is it a DSN dial?
  10. If possible, I would like to be put on this list or the next one.
  11. I've got a gen Pam sapphire on my Franken 212, you would not believe the difference it makes.I'll see if I can find the original rep crystal and I will be glad to let it be used in order to make some real sapphire crystal's, as I going to need 1 for my Franken 253 project, which I'm getting ready to start. If someone will send me a pm tommorrow,I'll let you know if I found it,and you can tell me where to send it to.
  12. Great looking 299K Tanya!!! Enjoy!!!!Wish I still had mine. I sold my gen 299k about 4 months ago. Big regret!!! The bracelet as stated above is in a league all it's own. Very, very comfortable.
  13. Great job on the 212!!! I'll post pics of the Franken 212 I've been building. Old Cartel case, Swiss 7750, Gen Sapphire, Gen Dial, Gen hands, Gen bezel,Gen CG,Gen Rotor, and Gen Coramid strap with Gen deployment. The old case fits everything better than the newer case that I aquired, althought the caseback is more correct on the newer version. The Gen sapphire and Gen CG made the most difference in the watch. Next I'm starting on a Franken 253 as I have aquired a Gen Blue Chrono hand. That is nowhere close to the color of blue on the reps. The gen blue really pops. Special thanks to all the members who have helped me with aquiring these parts!!!!
  14. I have a gen crystal, gen cg, and a gen blue chrono hand for a 253. Sold mine before I got these parts. Waiting for another to arrive. I can tell you the gen crystal and gen blue hand makes a world of difference though. Will post pics when it is all done.
  15. Checkout MBW's 40mm. I just got my wife an MBW 049 w/Swiss 7750 and it's incredibly accurate, at least when compard to the other 049 I had previously got for her. I have yet to see any reviews about MBW's 40mm Pam's, but they are out there and worth the price.
