I think that's up there with the nicest big crown builds I've seen. Congratulations ️

Totally Tropical Taste...

That looks and sounds like a very good rep. Never having paid that much attention to Breitling... what are the common "tells" with these?

That looks spectacular on your wrist. Great choice! Like you I was a 37-40mm Rolex fan until one of those washed up on my shores, and I haven't looked back.

Nanuq... I'm hooked now cheers brother.

It came with either a bond or a speedy style bracelet from the factory. The speedy one tapered to 18mm at the clasp. I have both ( courtesy of a 2230 Seamaster). 
 
And here we we are with a new shark from our great [mention=52726]docthor[/mention]
 
 

Oh so i can probably swap the bracelet off my...

Lovely. Mine says hi. 
 

Lovely... what is the deal with the different bracelets with this model - I've seen both in pics but never researched?

Raffle watch landed ️

New to me ️

I guess the model / speed of dremmel may make a difference? Look forward to hearing how that goes.

Hey all... I was one lucky sunava to pick up this great piece in the last raffle...

 

Until recently I've been strictly 40mm and less... Sub kind of guy. Now i suddenly have three PAMs.

 

The quality of this rep is pretty darned good. I suspect the lume is slightly off compared to gen but let's face it you are unlikely to bump into a gen I'm your travels... So i put it right up there in the category of "Fantasy Purchase Rep"

 

Engraving is really cool

 

Thanks @MOAB for enabling the raffle

 

604 Firenze on an StrapsCo leather

Hey Woz.
 
I sent him a message a couple of months ago with a few pics of the case. He said he hadn't done so before would be willing to set up a jig for them.
 

Ah... You are reading my mind

Haha, Do it. You will love it. So many combos with straps.

Well... I've recently picked up one PAM Ti homage and a Getat coming my way from a friend in UK... plus i got lucky in raffle so got that engraved Firenze coming. So I've passed the gateway point i suppose But these vintage builds... they are amazing!

Oh my giddy Aunt... there are some masterpieces here. I know I shouldn't add PAM to my obsessions but this thread is a killer enabler

Ah thanks dude... good to know it's not worth exploring the dremmel route. I know a guy who drills Seiko in UK and i have never asked if he could do others... I'm guessing he could probably do so? May drop him a line.

Looks amazing... Looks expensive... Worth it I'm sure. Built for you or a commission Legend?

This is a real shame... and i hope it turns out well for you OP.

This is a great post@Manodeoro - thank you.

I wonder... has anybody opened out holes using a dremmel hacked into some kind of press?

I love to read threads like these. History is important... but no more important than what we do today. And this place is doing it right as far as I can see. Long live the true RWG ️

Can't beat a good 5513 build thread... and this is a good 5513 build thread... Hats off to you dude
