They need to bleep. not just go higher. Many good hard mineral crystals also go in to orange, but never bleep. And I think on average we just don't like your rough choice of words like "crook, stupid, fool" and your presentation like 'i know it all' specially in your first couple of post. Enjoy the forum! btw, the pictures were nice, for the price the watch looked quite good. but the cg pin looks quite bad. I don't think you can even use the same pin to modd it, because it has too small diameter.

So how did you check if your Ti rep really has sapphire as you claim? My bet is that you haven't checked it and that is it just the sellers claim. I hope I am wrong, but for the price 95% chance it is mineral. One of the best and never failing methods is using a electronic diamond tester.

located where?

Ja sicher, es ist ein sehr sch

@ Deniz21... the rep color of the rep lume of the pam243 is also not really correct. It has the kind of green color. but the gen which is copied is a T-dial. meaning tritium. rep is more green. gen less green, more green-yellow-white color. I have since this week a pam243 with mods: dial relumed by The Zigmeister with tritium mix, cg lever fixed (less floppy), better date wheel, cg lever polished and flattened, polished the bezel markers, and will coming weeks try to see if pam252 ultimate crystal will fit in. So lots of mods to make it perfect. But perfect with the pam243 will never really be, because the bezel markers are too big in diameter and height. But STILL one of my favorite PAMs! Cheers!

Sub-dial spacing my friend.... the gen has them much more close than the rep. Check it out and you will be disappointing. Complete different watch, but a lot more correct with good subdial spacing is the new ultimate P.O. Chronograph. but of course, that one is a lot bigger than the seamaster and speedmaster..

Bravo!

I always believed that the most problems with exploding were the 1950 44mm models, like the 253 and the 212. I had at least 5-7 exploded crystals with pam253 for myself and other people. terrible terrible... Only when they produce the 'old' sapphire crystals again, I will buy one of these. Once I had a fully The Zigmeisterfied 253 (relume, movement serviced, cg modd, Jakub AR), but I refuse to invest in these tricky watches now.

the finish looks quite nice. very well done! But.. as far as I know, the hands on the pam249 should be C1. Dial is correct with C3. But... right now it started to look like a sausage dial with the thick lume. should be less thin lume. Because the genuine is almost like a hybrid sandwich dial. For pics of the genuine pls see here:

Awesome buy. very very nice 1938. Also comfortable knowing that until now and probably never a perfect 1:1 rep will be made, because of the dial. Very good picture you made of that dial! Myself am still busy modding my rep 249. got The Zigmeister lume, got a better OP crown, nice Teddy strap, and later the case engraving. But hell... that dial is killing me. CONGRATS!!

So what is the tracking number....

wow, absolutely amazing Kruzer!

Thank you Zigmeister, again a very well and helpful writeup. It will be a real help finding good movements. And again again again from your experience it can be concluded that ALL movements greatly benifit from a full service because of over oiling, no oil, dirt, hairs etc etc. Based on your experience and writeups I let all my movements being serviced. but to do that with all 7750's I own it will be quite expensive, but I am very much aware that it is best for the movement in the long run. once again, thank you very much!!

Hi Tristan, looks like a nice watch. But have you been using the search function before posting? A lot is written and findable about Chris / Eurotimez.

the regular dealers also would be able to sell case sets. and they wont be 180usd like some of dsn.

RESPECT!

by emailing AND calling him. Continually.

Got an email of him today saying he shipped the items I paid for.

Hmm, not my kind of Bell & Ross.

Hi Gio! Thanks, downloading now. All the best!

haha, awesome find!

Looks awesome, I like the pointy tip of the minute hand. Last Friday I also received these hands from Milesd, still unlumed. Great to see them already on a watch.

Wow! that is a big improvement with the polished markers. How did you do it? Free hand polish or did you tape of the bezel first?

Nope. has been discussed before. use search button on this board. for what it is worth, maybe they would just check if the movement runs good on time and not behind of too fast.. that is it. Taking the whole movement apart is something else. I would only trust a good watch smith with that.

without anything else like the domes crystal of the pam253, it will look awefull. a watch smith works more practical than esthetically and being 1:1 to a genuine...
