As I saw before, also in PM"s, Ash uses his words quite fast, thinking sometimes it is funny. Not all people are & think alike. IMO, not ok, better to stay polite.

So you think it is a very cool story about your trip to the AD??? Nobody is interested hearing or reading about it...

NO PREPWORK WAS DONE ON THESE CRYSTALS........

The 2 crystals that I received from Rocketeer were also a bit green hued. Though the AR is quite well. IF this is not a Chieftang AR, than it is a rip off. Because I remember very well that Geoff mentioned on the phone that the UK AR lab is a LOT cheaper than what we pay for Chieftang. Well, it matters to me that I pay a lot for an not so good UK AR with different quality. We only wanted the Chieftang AR...

Wohooo Ash... some words... Now I just pray to God that you will like the watch I sent to you this week....

I think he is just BUSY getting things done. It the aftermath of getting the crystals 2 weeks ago, what would you have him do: installing those crystals, quality control and shipping the crystals + watches (apart from his pending watch repair business), OR answering all the emails people have been sending and answering telephone calls keeping him off the job we want him to do so much right now.... For the record, I received my 2 crystals back yesterday from him. And other members also already received crystals back (i heard through pm's). Cheers, hooky

PATIENCE WILL BE GRANTED A GOOD OUTCOME. .... TODAY I RECEIVED MY CRYSTALS BACK FROM ROCKETEER. ALL LOOKING GOOD......

If answering all the emails within 48h almost becomes a full time job and if several people email him at least once every one or 2 weeks, I can imagine it will take a watch smith from his working bench.

I spoke to Rocketeer on the phone, I believe last week, after he got the crystals back. In my opinion it is no problem that it will take a bit more after the crystals arrived. the batch also needed quality control. And then putting the crystals back in the watches and then shipping and administration.. for the average watch smith and having to do this in between all the other pending work, 2-4 weeks seems a more practical schedule to me. Apart from the fact that it takes so long. just my 2 cents.

tasty like American Pizza: American glove on Italian watch. Looks best on the pvd! Enjoy it!

I don't value dealers high who even have in there shop name the word 'Swiss'. To me it is just misleading and is a seller who is going along with the average stream of replica sellers thinking the need to use Swiss everywhere on their page to claim and impress quality. Most movements are not Swiss at all. Even the pam127 is not completely swiss, since those bridges on top of the movement are asian of course. Even though the seller might be good, just having such name will let me pass. I would consider Chris from Eurotimez. Good luck.

So how is the lume? blue or green??? I just had mine relumed by Zig with blue lume (white in daylight). Looks amazing.

triplehd, I had 2. both date problems. easy fix for watch smith though. won't touch it myself by the way, the bezel markers are not very strong mounted. I would consider uncrewing them and blue/red loctite them. All the best!

hello hellooo!!! Wow, 2 days and already a supporter! Very well!! the pam127 does not have trouble with explosions as far as I know. that was more with the luminor 1950 44mm models. In your budget you should consider a good after market strap. The rep straps kind of suck compared to gen quality and appearance. there are great straps for around 90usd from Gunnystraps for example. matches the 127 perfectly. If you look around you will see some of those 127 gunny combos have been posted around here on this board.

that is not totally true my friend. couple of weeks ago I got a strap from him after 4-5 weeks for custom made. also thought it was going to take longer, but he is on schedule now.

you just go to an AD (without your replica watch) and tell them that you want to give someone a present, the strap. you can also call them. some AD's will send it to you if you transfer the sum to their account.

not genuine, but the best aftermarket straps makes HKTAN (Aaron). you can also find him on Repgeek i think. He makes very good ones.

Looks nice, though I would choose the 177 sandwich dial. looks a bit more neat. relume preferred. So if PT watch is not relumed, I'd definately go for the DSN relumed watch.

Looks real to me too. but be aware that these movements need a full overhaul. Most time they are used for many years. And even when it is new, they are 'new old stock' which means they also need a service since all the oil is dried up. so take into account the cost of service and installation into a watch. not just the ebay deal...

I sent with intern. reg. post as well and it was processed by China Post. They could not deliver the parcel to the dealer, so i had to start an investigation by the local post company who shipped my parcel in the first place. Within a 1,5 week I had my parcel back after 2,5 months. stamps on the parcel showed it was handled by china post.

Very very nice collection Dadog! One of the best pieces Panerai made imo. Also interesting strap choices. The white pearl black stingray I have on one of my to modded Bell & Ross. thanks to HKTAN.

Looks nice. Makes it look like a real rough tool watch. At it was intended for.... Did you do any mods on for instance the crown guard, it looks really nice. I had my pam252 relumed and also the indexes of the gmt indices at the outer part of the dial lumed. Standard on the rep there is no lume. Looks great with lume. Can't post pictures yet, since my crystal is on the way from chieftang back to Rocketeer. All the best!

Yes, also lost a W of the bezel the other week. Will get a replacement from my rep dealer.

FGD, it looks really really nice. They must be the pride of your current collection. Wear them well!
