Some UPOs definitely have a coating on both sides. The outer surface coating should not be called "anti reflective" though. What its purpose is, other than to cause me problems , I have no clue.

Hey, can someone give me a hand? My computer went bezerk as I was making payment yesterday and it didn't go through. I think my raffle ticket number was 1117. So if that is still reserved for me, I'd like to make payment, but I can't seem to use the system to make payment without selecting a new raffle ticket number. Can anyone check to see if 1117 is still in my name and if so let me know how to pay for it? Thanks and sorry for the hassle. -Chief

Ohh, that's the Portofino... I guess I've been confusing the Portofino with the seconds at 6 model that everyone has trouble with.

Well I'm glad that watches and crystals are finally returning, in good shape or not. At least property is being returned to its owners. That's a really nice IWC, there, Pix. I'm not familiar with that model. Is it a fantasy model or is there a gen?

Gorgeous, W. Simply gorgeous. God only knows how you landed that dial. Lucky you! Great watch... and props to the Zigmeister of course.

I love the 312. Congrats!!

Some very good advice in this thread. I particularly like Kruzer's input. The Red sub is getting veeeerrrrrry appealing right now. And I absolutely love the 312 as well (and find it hard to believe that 233s are out there for $7K ?!?). A second hand 233 in that price range is a no brainer, of course. Some good choices in that price range. Hard to go wrong.

I think The Zigmeister has harvested tritium from old dials and reused it. But the sa should be a SL dial though.with tritium being used on older vintages.

New DD Platinum indeed...

Fantastic!! I'm definitely in!!

I prefer 'obsessed' to 'insane'.

Nice!

Hmm, yea, I'd say an improvement...

Nice pick up. I like this pic: Got me to thinking about PAM-Graham hybrids.

Welcome. You've come to the right place! And, BTW, you're in good company with other forum members down there in Socal...

Thank you, Mark Twain!!

Are you guys using regular 5/32" bits to do this, or actual countersink bits???

Love it.

Whoa Nelly!!! Time to get off my ass with a long overdue PAM project now!

Based on what I recall of research done a couple years ago, the TiAlN color can vary based on the exact Ti:Al make up of the coating. I think at a certain ratio, the actual nomenclature even becomes AlTiN. Correct me if I'm wrong. T, I'm curious if you've found a coating, be it TiAlN or DLC, that closely replicates the black/bronze color (but not necessarily the feel) of A/B series PAMs? And apologies if you've answered this before.

Sharp!

It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely time.......

Perhaps the perfect epitaph, By-Tor. There are certainly bound to be mixed reactions to this. The media, of course, will go in a predictable direction to an excessive degree with the story, but I for one have a hard time getting upset about there being one less pedophile ("allegedly") in the world.

You don't get a lot global warming hysteria up there, do you...

One of the best tag lines in a while... And a nice bony strap to boot!
