Went back to the 389 for today!

Ready when you are!

How many forum posters does it take to change a light bulb?* 1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp" 15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct 19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb forum 11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum 36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty 5 People to post pics of their own light bulbs 15 People to post "I can't see and their own light bulbs 7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs 4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too" 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy 4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" 13 to say "Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs" 1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that Julia or Tony aren't the brightest bulb. 4 more to get into personal attacks over their political views. 1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread. 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

AP Ti Schumi for today. Trying my best to really like this one, because the build quality is so amazing! I'm just not sure I'm an AP guy..............

UGH....... My PO GMT is 21mm I'm sure you can find a nice rubber 21mm strap on eBay, Amazon or somewhere similar for little $$$$. Or one of the strap makers listed on here. You can try and trim a rubber 22mm strap to fit, but seems like a compromise to me.

As I said, if it hasn't been scanned in the USA, don't assume it actually left Asia.

Does tracking show it's in the USA? Don't assume it made it out of China.

The last two weeks have been Chinese New Year. The entire region has been virtually shut down. Expect things to begin moving again over the next several days.

Fourth day with the new PAM389 on. This is for sure a new favorite...........

Just remember, with the Chinese New Year holiday, he may not respond till next week.

I don't have a chrono model. I have a GoodPlanet GMT. I'll measure that tonite when home, but it doesn't mean much to this thread. Andrew has the same 22mm note in his ad. Ryan (Intime) has PO straps listed showing them at 22mm I'm beginning to think the correct lug width for a 45mm PO is 22mm..........

@nanoman If you look at your original post, Josh's ad specifically notes "Correct Lug Width 22mm"! What more are you looking for?

NO!!!!! Work with Josh to get it resolved. Remember China is on holiday until next week! PATIENCE!!!!! If you cannot reach an agreement with josh. Ask the moderators here to help you!

Day Two with this new beauty! PAM389 KW Version

Received this new PAM just an hour ago via a MTM deal. All I can say is WOW! I love this thing already!

Pam 196h Daylight for a quiet Sunday at home.

Seawolf on Gen Strap for this frigid Friday......

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once. Albert Einstein All our sweetest hours fly fastest. Virgil

Agreed 100%. I don't mind paying a bit more to be assured I'll be properly serviced. I currently have a shipment from Ryan that shows leaving China on Feb 3, but no further activity (16 days). While I'm certainly disappointed, I have little doubt that Ryan will make it right after CNY.

This one was a MTM purchase, but IIRC it originally came from Toro. edit: In fact I looked up my original thread from the seller and here's the link to where he got it: http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=37_128_129&product_id=1034

Damn! That's a great point! I wonder if there's any way for the TD's to work with EMS to select flights with destination cities other than Chicago? Maybe avoid shipping on specific days of the week? This could become a real problem. I've still got a shipment missing from Ryan, with no activity at all, since supposedly leaving China on Feb 3rd.

Consider a Good Planet PO GMT. Awesome quality Rep! Mine get's a lot of wrist time..........

The first two have the cheapest 21J Chinese movements. For my own collection, I avoid those, always. Sead and Toro versions are Miyota movements. Of those two choices, I would select the Miyota personally. I have a PO Sochi with that movement and while it does have the issue where the second hand stutters occasionally, it keeps absolutely PERFECT time. You don't see the stutter issue unless you are absolutely looking for it.

PO Good Planet GMT for today.

My U-Boat U-42 does that occasionally, if it's been sitting un-used for a while. A firm rap with the palm of my hand fixes it every time.
