    036>177H Bam

    All stocks are sold out! I am getting five more any after the new year. Please pm for reservations!
  2. Andreww I would love to relieve you of your beautiful watch. The chapter ring on the new version is completely wrong, along with many other things. I was fortunate enought to get one of the 172's with swiss movement before they went out of production.
  3. Andreww The only versions currently available are very inferior to the 192's of old. The movement is not seagull lemania copy, rather 7750 asia. I would not pay more than $170 for the current models!

    036>177H Bam

    No Vaccum, Repaustria, and The Zigmeister are! Long exposure and dark room. I appreciate the comments though! The first shot is how it would look on your wrist after charging for 15 secs!

    036>177H Bam

    I forgot to add a picture of the caseback and movement, which is a 177H caseback on just one of them.
  7. Dear All I just finished this watch last night. We all know that the 177 is beccming harder to source since it is out of production. I used an 036 case to build this one. Mods include eta cannon pinion H3 and hour wheel installed, relume was done with my great C9/C3/C1 mixture, not the cheap and ineffective noctiluma. Look at how nice the crown craddles the case, and look at the teeth. This is one of the nicest rep ti crowns i have seen. Standerd rep crowns are 1.89 mm, Palp crowns are 2.1, this crown is 2.0 mm. no lever pin issue. Cannon pinion has been flattened and polished, hands are nice and even. Notice the nice even lume on the dial and the great ar that is on sapphire crystal. Now i only have 5 of these available for sell, they are all assmebled and ready to ship. No shipping outside of U.S.A. That includes CANADA AND MEXICO! Movement is the new asian h movement or the eta clone movement.Sorry people swiss movements are back ordered. Now enjoy the pictures of this amazing watch
  8. It is not as lucrative as you think. You have to remember we are dealing with reps that are built in factories that have no quality standerds. Probably the same factories that spray lead on our childrens toys, and make the pet food that kills pets. These watches do not even go through the quality control as the cheapo Orient watches. Out of every five watches i order from GZ , 1 has a problem. Order 50 a week and then you have a lot of extra captial tied up in bad watches. Extra shipping charges. Unhappy customers. The road is not as golden as it appears To mention the cost on prices. If everyone is patient, that is do not buy watches right when they come out then you will see a huge price decrease. For instance the Big Bang was $428 in March. Now i sell the exact same watch for $335. I have a million more things i could say, but due to time i cannot.
  9. Same watch as I was wearing last week! New shots though.
  10. Raymond Does you arm get tired? I like the Blue Label myself, or the 18 yr old Livet. Only way to drink it! As for me, stuck at work but leaving town for a few days tomorrow evening.
  11. I would never wish that on anybody my friend. I have never taken a polygraph test and I was nervous as hell, but answered all the questions truthfully. Naturally, questions were asked that made me uncomfortable, "Were you attracted to her pictures," quite frankly Yes, but I never had intentions to sleep with the broad. I cannot even imagine taking one ever year, but hey if you have nothing to hide then i guess it might be okay. Victoria You are most welcome. The 183H is being completed tonight! Cheers T
  12. Here you go Victoria. I am going to take the minute hand off tonight and redo it. I am not happy with the lume towards the base of the hand.
  13. Thank you my friend. My next ones will be nude
  14. Very true but not the case with my situation. Also the pictures, the lume color when dry is off white just like the letters on the panerai dial. They are the same color V. Let me go take a wrist shot of it really quick. Victoria, you are a BLESSING and a WONDERFUL person. Your ability to hang your head high in the midst of the other schmucks around here show what kind of person you are. Your going to love it!
  15. A CHillLY 6 degress here in the midwest. Continual storms have kept the sun at bay .It was nice to see the sun in the horizon as i was leaving work this morning. Could not help but to take advantage of it Cheers T
  16. Victoria As we had discussed in my suprising email to you here is your completed panerai 190. Please note as we discussed that i just did the dial and hand relume. I did manage to work the hands enough to get the minute hands almost flush with top off cannon pinion. I know you will be satisfied as my tolken of appreciation for your support during my many moments of strife. This one is FREE Victoria. There is part of the minute hand that i am going to look at closely as i am satisfied with the lume, but if that is the case a qucik fix. Victoria, I would be honoured for you to accept this as a gift. Thank you for lending an ear when i need one. Thank you for shoring up some of my threads when they needed it. Thank you for reassuring new customers that i always follow through. What many of you do not know is that my wife and i have been going through some tough times. A couple weeks ago I was kicked out of the house after she found a couple emails from a colleague i work with. Needless to say wives do not appreciate nude pictures of women being sent to their husband. I have seemed to suffer from fatel attraction. Slowly but surely after all my phone records, hard drive scans, and polygraph test came back negative my wife has allowed me back into our house. For thouse whom have had marital problems it is a real b i t c h . Sorry V. Through these tough times Victoria has been very supportive and has lent her ear. I appreciate everything you have done and everything you will continue to do. From the bottom of my heart. Thanks. Gob Bless. Okay the pictures and these were taken fat folks so be easy on me Dial and hands down with c9/c3/c1 mixture for longlasting results. Considering i used the rep short cannon pinion the results i think are not that bad. after working the hands for about 30 minutes i managed to get the minute hand damn near flush. Oh so close as you see. Caseback showing the base asian movement. These new asian base movements are coming much nicer than ever My favorite part my C9/C3/C1 'plume' mixture Victoria you can always send up the gold hands so i can put them on. I think it woulld look better. Anyways, enjoy the watch. I will mail it out this week once i decided on the hand Have a great day Victoria Cheers TWP
  17. Love the shot man. We were suppose to get 6 inches of snow today, and only 2 1/2 managed to fall! Just a little upset. My 203 on a custom rep strap.
  18. Bone Did you shave the dial? Seriously this version of Big bang that is the best rep on the market. I hefty price for profound beauty. I had the luxury of getting one of these in for a client and I was stunned. My next rep purchase will be this model. Great macro shots
  19. This one has not left my wrist, nor will it for quite some time. Everyone have a safe and great weekend. One more day!
  20. I run all of mine for a couple of hours every other month. I have a client whom runs his all the time and has never had a problem with the movements.

    Ken Your little girl is darling! There is nothing more special than children!
  22. I am just waiting for you to pull the trigger I have to agree with Mr. Riddle. THE BB perhaps is the best watch they have repped this year. I am just waiting for you to pull the trigger I have to agree with Mr. Riddle. THE BB perhaps is the best watch they have repped this year.
  23. V really nice combo you got there. Here are some new ones of the BB SS. Cheers
  24. I took my sons up to the farm yesterday. We were there no longer than 30 seconds before the youngest fell and slammed his chin on the only icy spot in the driveway. Little lidocaine and a couple 6-0 nylons and he is good to go. Had a lot of explaining to do when my wife got home. The Usual suspect
