He hates those, I noticed. You might inquire of Narikaa, who is currently in the Far East right now, if he can source you one. Should be quite reasonably priced at that.

I'll get the ball rolling. Might motivate me to get that Big Pilot. U$50.

I bought one here from Garethsm, for my dad, who thought it looked clunky and doesn't wear it. It was about U$60. Not interested in selling any of my rep watches (ever), but here's the thumbnail pic before it was removed at sales' end (wish people wouldn't do that), llsteve80. I believe this can be bought very cheaply in Canal St... The differences between the gen and rep are not too obvious, but telling nonetheless. Obviously, faux power reserve. And the built-in hole-pushers are not present in the gen. I bought the rep after reading this magnificent (gen) review on it, by a TZ poster. hxxp://htexplained.com/watches/Lange1/review.htm (change xx to tt)

I think I sussed it out. The dagger wotsit is sitting on top of the regulateur, right? EDIT: Compare the DSN Fiddy dagger. It is not "sitting" over the regulateur blade, but next to it. (Please let me know if I have the terms right!) UPDATE: I gently unscrewed the exposition caseback, using my bare fingers, and very gingerly adjusted that blade. Here is a shot without the crystal glare, for your reference. Unfortunately, my hunch was wrong. It's a stem issue, I'm guessing. I've popped back the rubber seal, and closed the caseback. UPDATE #2: It's running since closing the caseback. I'll check it in the morning, but I think I fixed it...I'm going to stay humble, because I did so completely by fluke, and I could've effed up my precious DSN 112. I'm just happy it's running again, so in case this happens to you, check the dagger wotsit.

Oh God. Thanks...

Since I have limited experience with hand-wound watches, please advise: I obviously overwound it, because it simply will not wind anymore. Movement has stopped. Last wind-up was earlier last night, at 6 PM, when I gave it the usual 60 winds. I will take it to the watchsmith tomorrow, but what am I looking at in terms of service? A stuck crown, a broken stem, etc.? Is this usually costly? Thanks (again!) for any advice.

Fleabay ID: "Paneraiman" Site: Swisswatch.net Just would like to know if when he says his straps etc. are OEM, that they are not aftermarket ones. Thanks for any help guys.

You bet! Sorry too. Wow, I couldn't believe it, so I went to look. He's not listed! I was sure I had seen it, so I went hunting for it, and it seems there is a section for him in the Member Reviews (people who bought from him), but he doesn't have a gallery here. Since I'm on several forums, I guess it all melded together in my mind. This may not be good form, but if you need to, go to RWI. I KNOW he has a gallery there. Good luck! P.S.: If you do go for his 111h, go for the 3rd generation dial. With Davidsen, you have to SPECIFICALLY ask for everything, else you get pot-luck.

Wa-haaa?? Please tell me you didn't go to the gen forum, and ask about Davidsen?? Please tell me I misread this! Could happen. I just had some Nyquil and my brain could be fuzzy.......... EDIT: Oh whew, I re-read -- okay PAM forum. Not the gen forum for PAMs. WHEW. Thank God...that Finepics thread has made me paranoid. EDIT #2: You have to be a VIP to look at members' galleries, although recently in the VIP forum, there was a member who said that's not true. It's been a while since I've not been a VIP, but either way, he goes by davidsenjpn as his ID.

In fact! This boy (of the vending machine death) was awarded it or at least nominated for a Darwin Award. God, those things are so cruel. Must've been a Brit which invented them -- that's our humour all over. SEE! LOL. Oh BTW, there is also a film about the Darwin Awards. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428446/ Starring Joseph Fiennes, David Arquette, and Nora Dunn, etc. I have yet to watch it, but sounds, uh, fun.

I notice you have really nice watches, Watcher! That's a beauty, and mind, I'm not much into SDs or Subs. @POTR: LOL! That certainly doesn't look small on you. Nice Droste effect. P.S.: Your Breitling post breaking down the movements had my jaw on the floor the other day. What it must be to have your knowledge!

Me too. Moment I get on the plane, I set the GMT to the local destination's time. This actually won me a prize once, on KLM. I was on my way from London to Colombo with two stops, and the stewardess asked us to guess our time of arrival, in LOCAL time. Mine was closest, and I won a brand new Sport Walkman! Wow, that was a frikkin long time ago...

Oh, I'm sorry. TT's post makes sense now. I genuinely thought River was here, already, as a collector. I didn't understand, therefore, why we would welcome back River -- I was going to ask if he had been ill or something! Newbies.

Wow, you saw a ghost, Ryyannon?? I'm dying to see a ghost. (That was awkwardly phrased, as ever) Why can't I see an ET, a ghostie, leprechauns, talk to the dead like others can? It's not fair.

Oh my God. People will do the oddest things, won't they. Thank goodness vases went out of style, since I wonder how many arms got chopped off, after someone stuck in their hand, to get something which fell...

LOL! Hilarious. I feel like putting on my "Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorm

:Jumpy: I want! Just saw your magnificent Wrist-check and the hide looks like it has patina already!! (A big problem with a strap rotation like mine, is that NONE of my straps have patina, unless I buy one used that way) I see Savage and Tootall are reading the thread too. This thread must be mother's milk to them!

As someone who was recently targetted like that, all I have to say is be careful. He knows a lot of people (not just myself, I mean really established Risti people) who wobble on both sides of the gen/rep fence. If he's outted, he can start naming names, and it wouldn't be pretty. Me, I'm buying a gen PAM next year, and it's not like I'm going to be showing up to Risti GTGs anyway, so I'm not affected in that way. But have a care for Wheaton26, e.g., who might get called out, and others...I mean, if he can abscond with people's moneys, and play a reformed St. Augustine, he can pull a stunt like that, big-time.

Some things are okay, like reminding people to put on seatbelts. When I drove a bicycle in England, I never wore a helmet, but reminding people to do so, is okay too. BUT SUN VISOR! Wow, Phaedo, that's nuts. It's not that Americans lack common sense, as I used to think when I was growing up. Is that someone somewhere will test the limits of the legal system in the US, by suing people for big $$$ for having failed to SPECIFICALLY mention such-and-such a thing. Like "do not let kids play with with this bag, as it could cause suffocation". Chances are some heartbroken mum sued for something she should've known better anyway...

As I said when you posted this, that strap makes the B&R SING. Even Xim's B&R's didn't look as good, as yours does with that strap...I might have to get one. Merci for the compliment again! I replied in Dluddy's thread too.

Merci, Pix!! I have to admit, the French do exotics better than Italians. Camille Fournet and ABP are the way to go, for those. @Estaban: Love that shot! Wish you could make me a wallpaper of it...Jiro, if you are reading this, new wallpapers soon please!

HELLO! That's gorgeous, TJ!! Is that one of Lanikai's straps? That PAM REALLY suits you. Glad you kept it! @TEEJAY below: That's the rep strap? Mercy! Looks like an OEM croc. Seriously. I'll have a job getting you a better strap, but I'll try. ...I'm sure it looks good, but perhaps the quality isn't there.

I'm wearing a PAM 112 on a Camille Fournet Beavertail glossy strap on today, FRIDAY. THURSDAY...I had on the same but with the Greg Toro Moro strap! ...BTW, I don't like the strap as much as I thought I would. It's a bit masculine on me. Ah well. Happy Friday all!

FRIDAY An inside joke for my boyfriend: Keira Knightley shots around my DSN PAM 112 on a Camille Fournet Beavertail strap. Beavertail tip near Keira's sauceboat lips. "Body of a babe, Mouth of a Sailor"? Call it my contribution to brighten up RWG Males' Friday. The Wristie! No one is paying attention to my watch, huh? SATURDAY From a young babe, to an old Grand Dame. My vintage gen Elgin peek-a-boo bracelet watch. Don't tell my mother I posted this. She said NO GENS on the forum. EVER. It looks like a bracelet from the side. But open it up and it's a watch! Comes with a fob, just like ladies' bracelets used to. This was my father's mother's watch. It's going in for servicing this Monday, so I'm wearing it with love today! SUNDAY Can you stand yet another Silix Rollie from me? I got more coming too! Good change of pace, the Day-Date. I think leaving the Rolex hologramme on is tacky, and don't do it with my gens. For SOME reason, I leave it on with my reps...guilty conscience perhaps. ...have a good weekend everyone!
