slai

Tyler Florence from Food network wears a 217.

Also noticed today that one of the trainers from Biggest Loser, Bob, wears a pam on a NATO. Jillian wears a Santos 100.

Wow, never noticed Flavio wears a Pam. I wonder if Heidi Klum picked up the pam habit from him while he was knocking her up, or vice-versa (the pam that is, not the knocking up). Jean Todt wears a Richard Mille which is rather ironic since he should be backing Ferrari by Panerai.

Spotted a woman in a parking lot as I was heading to a work function wearing a pam 48 on a gator deployant. Probably a gen since she got out of an AMG CLS55.

This thread deserves a bump since I just ordered my first PAV strap...PAV 91 for the fiddy I don't have yet!

Eating, wearing, petting...I just like to enjoy animals in all the ways they have to offer. So cute and tasty.

Switched to PVD-kevlar combo for today.

Modded springbar...no more sticking out the bottom lug! Backdrop showing my true geek nature...not Jack Bauerish at all.

Just ordered an "Allora a Ora" in Anacardo for my fiddy that I don't even have. I can't believe I've purchased THREE straps for a watch that hasn't even arrived yet.

It's a Strapculture Offlander strap.

I crimped the end of the river springbar so it doesn't stick out any more.

"Now I am happy as a little girl!"

Actually it's a river springbar I'm using right now...it sticks out about 1mm on the bottom lug. When I've got the patience, I'll have to sift through my collection of screws to find one that doesn't stick out.

What's wrong with the anonymizer? I had to manually change the URL of the link I posted.

Section8 bought his dad a rep Rolex 5517 to replace the one his dad bought from his ship's store whlie in the (US) Navy.

On a somewhat related note, I enjoyed reading this article on TZ about POW Rolexes - http://anonym.to/?http://www.timezone.com/...as/200704246126

Well, the lume might give away my position so perhaps not entirely tactical.

I was getting bored of my dsn 195 with just the rubber strap, and I just can't get my head around combining brown straps and a PVD case so I decided to go with kevlar. I'm enjoying the watch again! Makes for an interesting contrast with the white aquaracer I just got.

Now I feel like I have one of two options for the day:

1. Dressing in black tactical gear, while yelling "WHAT IS YOUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE?" Jack-Bauer-style to innocent passer-bys.

2. Black turtleneck and really tight black pants with a ponytail..."Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance"

That's beautiful slai. I'll probably put my 'Racer back on tomorrow. Can't really keep it off of my wrist for too long... I'm actually just testing the power reserve.

This is actually my first white dial watch and I love it! I just ordered gen endlinks to see if it'll fix the gap between the lug.

Sticking with the 'racer!

I was naturally talking about the model currently displayed in the TWP gallery.

So am I! He's got a 127E in there.

sssurfer, TWP carries the E-series movement now too. The engraving doesn't look as crisp as the dsn version, but at least it's the right series movement. It looks like a dagger-style too. I just ordered it last week so I'm just going by the pics for now.

I also think the end links don't line up to the case 100% on the rep, leaving a small gap. In picture 1, the watch on the right has this problem. On my father's Aquaracer the spring bars are bent for the end links to fit into the lug holes, which annoyingly allows the bracelet to move around slightly. Perhaps the factory designed the watch around the rubber strap to begin with?

I wonder if gen endlinks would solve this.

Just got this beauty today from slai. I hounded him into selling it to me

You did badger me into submission didn't you?

Can't wait for my fiddy to replace it!

Hey Ken, rep underwear????????

Going with the 'racer just like By-Tor today.

Another gratuitous wrist shot.

I'm really enjoying this watch right now...my first white-dial watch! I think it's a keeper so it's time to make an appt with the one they call The Zigmeister for the lovin only he can provide.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix the bezel that turns both ways for now?

Arrived yet? If so, care to share some pics?

Just arrived today! Pics to follow later tonight. So far almost everything looks good. Only complaints are the standard misaligned bezel and the odder thing is that my bezel rotates both directions.
