As some of you might know Obtaining the perfect pam253 is one of my goals for 2010. Our dear friend Francisco (here in spain) has been working on a few of my beloveds.. one of which was my pam 253 V3. He serviced the movement and painted the chrono second hand a very brilliant shade of blue.
When I opened the package i almost peed my pants from excitement. It looks GREAT! VERY VERY CLOSE to GEN . Overall I'm VERY happy with the results and couldn't have asked for anyone better to mod my watch. THANK YOU FRANCISCO! (drinks on me next time i'm in valencia!)
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...
So here's the before:
Gen Pic Francisco worked from:
And currently:
destrapped on the dining table
rubber strap pics
On GEN carbon fiber:
strap thanks to SWDIVAD:
Changing straps out... (jeopardy music playing..)
Toscana Carbon Fiber with blue stitching: (thanks for the inspiration from your V2 Lani... I tried to be different, but in the end.. this just looked too good)!!
Over the balcony... don't worry i won't drop it
Pocket peeking....
last one I promise:
So that's it. For now it's gonna stay a Lani copycat and stay on the Toscana strap. I realize the color's not perfect to GEN but for not being able to have a gen watch next to him Francisco nailed it in my opinion. This issue was one of the most biggest for me on this V3 rep and it's finally fixed! I'm ok with the glaring CG flaw but the next move will be the sapphire crystal if we can get them fabricated!
Thanks for lookin guys!

P.S. sorry about the crappy title, I wanted to change it but I guess it's too late. Oh well!
