    Help!

    Need to get a new watch. Got a PAM63, PAM111H, a VCO, and a Chopard Mille Miglia. What would you guys recco next? My current thoughts are (and I'd love your thoughts on these): 1. UPO -- how are these holding up? Do I need to get a gen tube? 2. Ingy AMG -- need lello DW of course 3. PAM 253 -- also needs DW 4. 2007 Cousteau 5. something else? Not a SFSO guy... just dont love it, and not a Rolex guy either...Any recco's here? Thanks for the opinions in advance! J
  2. I've heard conflicting things about this movement (a la Ingy AMG chrono). What do you guys who know more than I do think?
  3. This whole post has an un-RWG-ish nastyness about it. Can we move on?
  4. I am pretty sure it was. It was a great box, but he hasn't had it in a while.
  5. Where'd you get the 2893?
  6. Right... but even these 'high' prices are low compared to the gens... and some of these, with a little mod work and a service, are great watches that look and feel darn close to gens... so, still a bargain.... ... and, while I don't really believe it, am I the only one who thinks "greed is good!" when I see the price raises chalked up to excessive profiteering?
  7. Mine has worked great every sense getting mine back from The Zigmeister. The Zigmeister says there's no reason to think the gmt would stress it out. That said, mine was a disaster until The Zigmeister fixed it. Good luck. Love mine now.
  8. Thanks, Taiji. Already on Lello's list... even before I order the watch!
  9. What do you IWC experts know about this model? How accurate is it? Is it the 'right' red? Doesn't look right to me... DW is off, right? What else? Very interested in this one, but want to know what I am getting into... For reference, here's the gen: And here's the rep: Thanks for any help. J
  10. Am sure of that as well. I DID go with K2222 for this run, and the results are great and he IS a fantastic guy to deal with. I was just curious about the comparability of the coatings. FTIW, I cannot see any lip marks on my k2222 coating...
  11. Was going to go with Chief, but my local watch smith took off and I couldn't get the crystal off. Sent to K2222, and the results were absolutely awesome! But, I had to send watches overseas, which makes me nervous. So, now that I have a new watch smithing resource, I was wondering if the coating were comparable? What do you guys think?
  12. Park in the bank lot. Works fine if you are just there for a sec. Or, there is a CVS right up the street...
  13. Yup. Right around the corner from the best Chinese outside of China Town...
  14. I got it from Panatime. I know folks say this is a 21mm lug size, but my is a 20/18 I am almost 100% sure and it fits both the lugs (with VERY LITTLE gap) and deploy perfectly.
  15. OK... wait over... arrived today... 10 biz days... but WELL WORTH THE WAIT. If you are on the fence, do this. Absolutely great results! Thanks Jakub!
  16. Trying... but getting worried now... never a good idea to trust the mail in Chicago!...Keeping fingers crossed...
  17. Has anyone from CONUS gotten theirs yet... I am still waiting :~)
  18. I had this with a PAM deployant. Only fix was 440 grit sandpaper to take off the sharp corners. Worked like a charm.
  19. Here's what I went with-- the carbon fiber with white stitching. I think it looks really good. Also, notice that you can actually unscrew that fat pin and get it in that way...
