  1. Bazz, that strap completely makes the 187. I agree with Scoobs. Wish I didn't see those pics. Kudos on the photography, Mate.
  2. I also had my 1665 relumed since I'm attracted to glowing, shiny things. Nice job on the dial
  3. First of all, I personally recommend Flav for mods. He is THE MAN. But, IMO, you will want to mod the PAM at some point for sure. Must have mods are: 1) Lume 2) cannon pin (the center pin that holds the hour and minute hands is inaccurately recessed; this will become glaring to you after a while) 3) Crown (the aftermarket crown is thicker and sharper on the edges) CG lever is a popular mode, but IMO not absolutely necessary.
  4. I'll parrot my usual blather: Sant chrono 7753. Stunning and different.
  5. Sorry to hijack this thread but I have to agree wholeheartedly with this comment. The Sant chrono 7753 is a work of art. Surprised it's not more popular...
  6. My vote goes to the Nautilus Jumbo, but Laz, that Radio is superb!
  7. Maybe a tag team scam? Buyer and seller are either one and the same using different Ebay accounts, or partners. They take the loss in Ebay listing fees and PP points to build trust, and then make back a nice profit off of a single sale.
  8. From other posts read on the forum, no AR on the gen 063. But keep in mind that the gen has thicker font and better mag, so date is clearer.
  9. I know that model well :-) While it has no dearth of flaws, it's a daily beater.
  10. I think it's way cool. Surprisingly it looks great. Thought it would wear too large on you but I take that back. I completely hear you re PP, but Davidsen seems to have a good rep, if you'll pardon the horrible pun.
  11. Vic, so sorry to hear of yet another failed attempt at getting what you want. I would guess that the crystal cracked in transit, as per Ken's suggestion. Temperature changes apparently plays a part in these things as well. Had a friend with 2 cracked crystals on his 50. Look at this as an opportunity to do your first mods--looks like you need a cannon pin anyway, so I would send it off to one of the "Big Four" for this mod and installation of a nice new crystal. While it's at the spa, get it lumed. Your watch will come back better than when new and you'll finally feel good about your watch. If you decide you want to sell your Fiddy, and start from the beginning, I'd probably go for the Davidsen.
  12. Very nice. Like the mods to your 063. Nice date and crown.
  13. Thanks - really enjoyed your pics. Looks like you keep good company, too. Where did you get the correct dial ("L Swiss L" lowered) for your 177H?
  14. Great thread. Another big pen fan here. 2 MBs. Will try to post a review later.
  15. Wow. Very nice. Very tempting...
  16. Rubber strap is hideous. I'm with By-Tor on this one. Love the AquaR chrono gen and even the Aquaracer 2000 ETA black bezel.
  17. In the affordable range? Probably... a black bezel Tag Aquaracer (I may have philistine tastes but I love this watch), a Fortis, Breit, Planet Ocean and a used Santos 100 if I could find one under 3k.
  18. You will love your GWSD. But it will be hard to pry off your wrist when you're ready to send it to the Modding Team... The relume is a must, since there is absolutely no lume on the dial markers at all; just a small bit on the pearl and hands. Enjoy!
  19. Very helpful post, and the timing couldn't be better. Is this a special gasket, or is it rather generic for watches according to size?
  20. Laz, Happy birthday. It's a very cool bird who wear's a man's watch. Very stylish. Enjoyed this post more than most because it had real character. Enjoy and wear it well! Cheers.
  21. Great work, Zig. Impressive as always.
