Thanks Guys Indeed Legend I believe I saw yours and said when we next mod mine it must go 'red' :-) Mike, this indeed did start as the blue/black dial that I bought at a crazy price, however has gone through at least two iterations since! She's on her way to me, more photos to follow! Regards AJ

After some time and a number of personal variations, Micky has completed my latest version of Noobs DSSD. Micky is an artist without question and the list of what he has done is as follows: Transplanted a NOS Swiss ETA movement (RADO) Replaced original dial with fully relumed dial, hands and pearl to match (red second hand personal option which I love!) Removed and double AR Coated crystal DWO from TC Waterproofed Timed to within a second of her life to COSC standards I am delighted how she looks, the entire project and would liek to publicly thank you Micky for your sterling work. Regards AJ

Welcome from the UK, if Panerai is your thing you're in for a real treat:-) AJ

You gotta love a Fiddy and this has taken some time to get together and this good. Started life as a Destro! AJ

BB again, really liking this beauty, proper size too :-) AJ

Looks great, these are a good watch and a lot of us 'time served' guys normally advise having these serviced to ensure longevity and good timekeeping once you get her and know she's a keeper! AJ

Ceramic BP on Alligator today :-) AJ

Looking good Legend my friend :-) AJ

Only if we are all prepared to pay an additional $100 or more on the initial cost! I always go to OEM on reps of great quality and sometimes aftermarket such as Orloff and Peter who are both brilliant. The attached is an Orloff on my modded Fiddy and it is simply awesome and as I have said many times before, a good watch becomes a great watch with the right strap :-) Regards AJ

This just arrived and after a quick AJ polish is on the wrist, let's see how I get on with her :-) AJ

Stunning photo Eyky Here's my newly built Fiddy with new AR coating, relumed and all built by my good friend Micky (SSTeel), many thanks Micky :-) AJ

You simply cannot beat an OEM strap, look at this great Honpo PAM 029 with OEM strap :-) AJ

Looks stunning! AJ

Couple of meetings in the City so my gorgeous PAM 029 (Honpo) on gen OEM croc Pam strap shoudl do perfectly. Have a great week guys AJ

Fresh from a polish up my great Pam 372 with several days PR :-) When they're as good as this you really can have your cake and eat it! AJ

And I have a gen oem IWC on the strap board to fit thsi watch for $150 :-) There really is nob substitue for a gen band AJ

You mean Parnis I believe AJ

Understood Mike and I totally agree, if you are buying 'open market' from folks you do not know you must protect yourself, this works both ways of course. AJ

Mike I will not take anything but PP gift as my reputation and standing speak for themselves, if a new guy with no track record buys from me and doesn't use PP gift Im not selling as they can cry 'foul'' after the event and I lose my watch/s and money! THere must be exceptions to the statement as it is not about the fee! Regards AJ

Here's my new IWC BP in Ceramic looking rather well. Have a great weekend guys. AJ

I think better pics might be useful! Regards AJ

Agreed with SSTeel, stay with our TD's as you will have the support of the entire community, these guys are Trusted TD's over the years for a good reason. Search the various areas and if Rolex is your thing, read and learn, it will enlighten you no end and you can buy, at a very reasonable cost a watch that you will be delighted with I am sure. Regards AJ

I can have any dial you wish made in any finish and with any script here in the EU Regards AJ

He has seriously pissed my friend off after making promises for several months and my friend is very well 'connected' he is a bloody fool! AJ

Safe, usually although sometimes an import 'surchage' is levied by teh shipping company DHL or similar. I have two such levies and its bloody annoying! AJ
