Superb

The extinct 112H. If you can find someone selling one, pick that model up. Cheers

Did not take you long to post that one my friend. Glad to see that you are proud of it. As for me, snow is finally upon us. Now let me go out and take some pictures while my boys are alseep. Some shots outside in the snow

These are very important procedures that i left out. Always use gloves. I ruined many dials trying to remove fingerprints with rodico, like you stated some newer dials will not tolerate the slightest fondling You have made some very good points, thank you.

Thank you

Just doing some cleaning today and had forgotten about this one. God what nicely built watch. I am currently offering this model for $240 with rubber strap Compare to $268 for watch , and then $40 for strap. Contact me for details. You will not be disappointed. Cheers T

Dear All Use this as a reference or a tutorial. My wife is out of town and the boys are sleeping so i have a little bit of free time. On the agenda the complete process of modding a panerai. The speciman a new asian h series swan neck movement. Before Shots Where is the freakin lume. Also if you look closely you will see the uneven consistancy in the lume. The most important thing is to have proper instruments. Personally, i use about seven; forceps, two screwdrivers, cannon pinion puller,crimper, caseback remover, and hand setter. Below the most important tool, the caseback remover. Angus sells these on a regular basis. I believe the price is about $45 USD. For those whom do not want to invest in the proper instrument, a sticky ball or some duct tape will work. Everyone does this differently, and I guess mine is just habit. Once the caseback is removed the crown guard must come off. Be careful not to cross thread the screws, and/or strip them. The titanium screws strip very easily, FYI. Once the crown guard is removed the movement should look like this. Notice the two movement holders. I remove both of these and then proceed to the crown. The crown is captured by a tiny screw that you must turn counterclockwise about one and 1/2 turns. Be careful not to turn the capture screw to much, as this will screw up the keyless module. Once the crown is removed I ay the dial out on a piece of paper, or movement holder . I also take the o-ring out of the case and the crown and put in oil You can see the recessed cannon pinion, and short hour wheel. Using a cannon pinion and hand tool I remove all three hands. Notice the nice finish on the asian movement. When removing the hands e careful not to touch the dial, that is, pull up on the remover to give you nice resitance as to not scratch the dial. After seperating the dials with a #11 surgical blade this is what you have. On the left the unlumed dial. The majority of bottom plates i have seen just have paint and a little bit of lume. On the right a relumed dial incooperating C9/C3/C1. Now it is time to remove the insufficient cannon pinion. Notice that the keyless module has been taken apart. This is crucial when pulling and reinserting the new eta H3 cannon pinion. Be very careful not to loose the spring . If you do this then the crown lever will not work The new cannon pinion installed and the keyless reassembled. When pushing on the new cannon pinion you should hear a click when it is seated The next step may seem simple but this is another crucial part of the process. When putting the two plates back together the holes must line up perfect. Below pay close attention to the running seconds stem. You will notice that it is not centered in the hole of the plate. I did this to illustrate. In this position you will find it impossible to properly put the seconds hand on securely. Also you will run the risk of damaging the dial After installing the hands and checking the movement, work your way backwords. Here is the finished product on a strap culture limited edition croc stap My favorite part is the lume

Love the BCE. Great combination. Classic watch. Man I love that!

However, due to major refinements in the asian unitas I suggest and am particularly fond of the new asian unitas movements.

The mercury took a plunge overnight. Finally winter is upon us!

The competition is one of my favorite watches. It is a helluva lot lighter than the 127 BTW

I swear if you wear that watch for two more months bone it is going to start sprouting hair @TT The good life. Been there a couple of times. Do you have a timeshare or do you just have your favorite resort?

Ah cabo, your yearly retreat TT?

Considering most business is done in Alaska's great outdoors your attire is suiting

Victoria Your station suggest that you would have at least one shot with you in a business suit or formal attire

I had forgotten about this watch. Both stylish and elegant, yet extremely affordable.

Just looking at those make me gasp for air!

I miss that strap. My good ole base with kevlar off and ss back on. God i love this watch. Another night passes here in the midwest and i am wondering if we will ever see any snow. Tomorrow 005 on ss

D4M SS is the only way to go. The rubber distracts from the beauty of the dial and makes the watch look cheap. Does not compliment the watch at all. Cheers

Simple. Clean. Masculine.

Glad you like your watch mate. You are going to miss it when you ship it to The Zigmeister but the wait will be worth it. Thank you for your purchase.

Did you email me? Post edited. I just got your email. I will respond to it tonight Cheers TWP

I have found that if you use a screw driver along with an instrument that you can exert pressure on the opposite side of the screw works very well. If that does not work, than your other option is below

I am particularly fond of how they hang. I never wanted to be a bra until now

My prices will remain the same my friend There will just come a point in time when i cannot offer the 177 or any Ti case pam anymore.
