  1. With all the mods and OEM parts listed you probably spent around $600-700...? Am i right?

    Just to ad my thoughts to the 50 discussion:

    I bought and installed an OEM guard on mine (reviewed somewhere on the old board, I think). Not worth the $$, IMO. It is interesting to note that the OEM guard does make the crtown look slightly thicker because of a slightly smaller "gap" than the rep guard. I do not remember if this is a plus or not.

    The brushing on the gen is more aggressive than the brushing on the rep, as it is w/ most PAMs.

    All in all, the 50/51 is the best out of the box--if you like 40mm.

    I would also like to take this opportunity to offer my condolences to my favorite Italian of all time: I believe that w/ an OEM guard, watchmen cyclops, rebrushed case, The Zigmeister lumed dial and hands, OEM strap/deployant, and single sided AR to most perfect 51 rep in the world resides in the US, not in the land of its ancestors.

  2. I still do not understand why it is so difficult to produce correct dials and correct size cases. This is not a rocket science...

    May be the manufacturers will not be able to come up with the same paint/lume material due to obvious reasons, but font sizes/thickness/case dimensions ...come on. If someone already started production of reps why not make them accurate? Is it really that difficult? Any engineers around who could answer this question??

    it's been a while that the rumor says that great date Pams would arrive soon....

    But you are right. Let's wait.

    I have so many mods ahead right now, that this pam 104/164 can wait anyway.

    Many thanks for all these precious informations

    Cheers

  3. Is this PAM 111?

    The watch is to be sent in the next few days so I won't have it until next week. My photo skills aren't great and I'm not sure how to post photos so I will need to do a bit of research first.

    I didn't find tritium - I found (bought) a genuine NOS tritium dial and hands. In fact I bought 2 'T' dials as I also have a 003 preA / A / early B series 003 dial and tritium hand set. These were not cheap, believe me, but they really are the 'mutts nuts'.
