I've seen the 540 is auto-stick and straight manual, straight off the ship. BTW, that's a BMW ship behind Tiger!

Here are my "Machines" 1973 Stingray aka "Lorraine" 2004 BMW "7" aka "Tiger"

It's the second one.

I love those new Batmobiles. BTW, someone was also making a kit to fit a Lincoln TC. I was even thinking of making a "Corvette Summer" out of my '73 Stingray, but didn't have the heart.

How about Saturday May 17th or Sunday May 18th @ 1PM

Sorry JoJo, but the Batmobile was a Lincoln Futura built in 1955 by Ghia. It starred opposite Glen Ford in "It started with a kiss" then customized by George Barris for Fox. Hey, you better make the GTG!

You see, I am learning from these guys! My thoughts exactly. I was going to say that to qualify as a Franken/Custom you would need a substantial OEM part/parts. I'd say dial, crown/CG, and/or hands ..... but what about a case back, large but not readily seen when worn. The idea is to have an OEM part that's hard to get and makes a big difference to both the look and value of the piece.

Cohibas are fine. What say a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, a few weeks from now so we can make the time for it?

OK, I think I'm getting the terms down now, but I wonder about a few things. This comes from questions on my PVD Logo, JayTech I and upcoming JayTech II. I can't find a way to describe my Frankns, so I've given it some thought and here's what I came up with. The Gen (100% genuine) and Rep (100% factory replica) are self explanatory, but from there I get a little lost. When I see a Rep/Mod it's usually a replica modified with aftermarket parts or service, is this correct? Franken is usually a Rep modified with OEM parts, we have to change that I think, don't like how it sounds. I think Custom sounds better than Franken. Well, how about a Franken/Custom made with all OEM parts? I feel Gen/Custom or Ulti/Gen sounds just about right. I've seen some nice Gen/Customs in the past. It was a SS Submariner with OEM TT blue Sub dial (YG markers replaced with WG) that started me on my quest for the perfect Panerai. Has anyone here ever made a Gen/Custom? Gen (genuine 100%) Rep (replica factory version) Rep/Mod (replica modified with aftermarket parts or service) Franken aka Custom (replica modified with OEM genuine and aftermarket parts or service) Gen/Custom or Ulti/Gen (non-existent model assembled with 100% OEM parts)

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!

No, not modifications ............. MODERATORS! Just a little shout out .... Yoooooooooooo (Hey, I'm from Jersey) to the mods here on RWG. You guys are top notch in my book.

IT'S THIS SUNDAY THE 18TH @ 2PM Please PM me if you can make it, want to get a head count. Hello All, How about a local little (or big) GTG. Some suggestions for a venue, date, and times. Let's see if we can't make this a huge gathering. I have a suggestion for a venue. This place has GREAT Cuban food, excellent prices, and is BYOB! It's called My Cuban Rose and located on Rt22 in Kenilworth NJ. Easy to get to, secure, only minutes from trains, and I have pull there. What's your suggestion? http://www.mycubanrose.com

Thanks V, guess you're right ..... subconcious. Changed the choice to solid, to actually give a choice

Working on my JAYTECH II which will be a Base version of JAYTECH I. I guess it's an ultimate Franken using all OEM parts. My question is should it wear pants or a skirt? I should say ...... solid or display back? Uncle Jay's Shopping List ----------------------------- OEM SS 44mm Panerai case > OEM Panerai movement > OEM Panerai Tobacco Base dial > OEM Prototype gold hands > OEM caseback (solid) > OEM caseback (display) >

I was able to meet with the man behind the brand while in Basel a few years ago and he showed me a Prototype that was not even featured at the show. Thought you'd enjoy.

I have 4 of his PVD models on the way, I'll post my thougts when they arrive.

A little lower and you would have been able to see your face and it would look like you're wearing the crown!

I'm Going With This One!!!!!!!!

Wish I could say the same about my new GMT

Yep, send it to me, I'm a professional photog .......... again I promise to send her back.

Those are terrible pics, send me the watch I think I can do better ..... I promise to send it back

Man, that's HOT CHOCOLATE!!! are you having dw problems as I am or is the angle?

Here are a few more pics. The watch is overall OK, but not what I expected. I figure that even if the dw was fine it would need mods, so I'm better off paying the shipping to The Zigmeister rather than back to Josh. I'm no expert, but a new cyclops, lelo dw, OEM crown/tube, and a relume maybe? These seem to be the MVMs (Most Valuable Mods) and really make a difference in the overall look. BTW, I've resized my pics, are they too small or just right?
