Got another beauty for you: The mailman did a terrible job though... How do I get this watch opened, so I can glue on the nine o'clock subdial hand? I do not have any special tools, except small screwdrivers. I have to go in from the back right? How do I get the case open without special tools? I have to remove pushers and crown to get the "heart" out? How do I remove the crown/pushers? Would be great if you could give me some directions.

Additional info: I wore the watch the entire day yesterday. When I woke up this morning, I looked at my watch and it showed 07.30 I was tired but I got out of bed turning the tv on, watching discovery chanel. Then my girlfriend comes out of the bedroom too, and I go "you're up early too?" She looks at me and goes "Early? It's half past one!" So much for the power reserve... I guess I have to turn around a lot more in my sleep, to keep it ticking...

One thing comes to mind: Where can I get a black rubber band that fits? Like this one: (Picture "stolen" from cwai02)

I have come to an agreement with Andrew. It does not include a black date wheel as the factories apparently have stoped making the GMT with black datewheel because of some sort of problem. So... I need a black datewheel that will fit my current GMT. Any ideas on where to get it and price? This thread is also about a similar date wheel: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...208entry54208

My girlfriend found this site www.e4bag.com while searching for bags on google. (You know women... ) Have any of you guys heard of it? Looks pretty serious, but you never know, right? Since I know some people here are into more replica stuff, maybe some of you have heard of it. (Not sure this fits in the General discussion category, but I give it a try...)

You must have seriously strong fingers and nails... I have been trying to get the bezel off for 10 minutes now using my fingers, a plastic rular, and some other plastic things with a sharp edge, but no luck so far...

I have come to an agreement with the dealer. It does not include a black date wheel as the factories apparently have stoped making the GMT with black datewheel because of some sort of problem. So my question stands. I still need a black datewheel that will fit my current GMT.

That's a really fantastic watch!

Strange... I'm communicating the problems to Trusty, referring to this thread. It has got the correct bezel though. Didn't think the prev gen had that? But then again, the white date wheel and SeaNaster clasp... When I found it on his site I thought: "WOW! Finally correct bezel , date window AND date wheel. When I recieved it, I got blinded and didn't see the date wheel error before I browsed some originals.

I have the same problem with the date wheel. ( http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...124entry54124 ) What does that datewheel cost? ( and where to get? ) Does it take a lot of skills/tools to change it?

Lets not forget the ESP Eclipse! Beautiful and great sounding with those emg 81's.

Thanks! Is it an easy way of changing the date wheel to white on black? Where can I find this part cheap?

Great! Now I can get into that bezel alignment on my new GMT toy. And I don't have that pearl or He valve to worry about either.

Now you only need this: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=5198 Nice collection indeed!

Got my new Seamaster in record time from Trusty. Package delivered at Malay post office friday 19/5 and today tuesday 23/5 it arrived at my doorstep! Took some quick pictures of it now. Will post better pictures during this week. ( It's 11.28 PM local time and I have to get up at 05.30 as usual tomorrow... 26/05 - Bezel insert alligned and pics updated! The pics: These pictures doesn't do it justice! The overall feeling of it is great. Flaws I have found: -SeaNaster deployant clasp -misaligned bezel -upper side of bezel triangle at 12 a bit on the fat side -wave pattern should be 1/4 wave to the right -short minute hand Edit: More flaws: -Datewheel is white with black numbers and not black with white numbers. The most obvious flaw of them all! GAH!! Other than that a really great looking watch, and much quieter than my eta pam111. Now... How to I get that bezel aligned? How do I get the GMT hand actually pointing at gmt hours? edit: new pictures

Thats a really nice watch! Maybe I'll put in on my list.

esmarcs 1746 + techs 1 + my 3 + 2 on in the mail from trusty = total of 1752

Actually a flaw I haven't noticed before! Then I learned something new today as well. Great

Nice pics of a even nicer watch! Can't wait to get my black/white Seamaster GMT. (the new rep of the old model) It's on it's way as we speak!

You're f*cking sh*ting me?! Is EVERY item in his photobucket galleries fake?! polo shirts, belts, jackets, dremel(!) ....

These are KILLER watches, allthough posted in another thread earlier. Mabe at RWG1? I don't think we will see a good rep of these in some time, and THAT's NOT FAIR!!!

I was looking for a nice big watch when I joined trc and rwg. I had never heard of Panerai before, but when I saw the 111 I knew that was the watch I was looking for. Ordered one and have pretty much wore daily for about a year. I love it!

lol. Bollemusa. Thats a good one! Don't know how to tanslate that... I guess it has its own english expression...

I acted quicker than usual, and ordered one before I changed my mind. Along with a Speedmaster Ladies pink mop, for my girlfriend. It's important to "bribe" your girlfriend sometimes. Makes it easyer to order another watch later on.

No pearl, no HE valve. I didn't quite get the pictures either. All the hands should be visible in "promotion pics" like these...
