flavor flav

finally finished! what do you guys think? remember.....i'm a pam guy! try to spot the work i did here.

no......no.......no......no.......no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bastards! why doesn't paypal realize they make a ton of dough off us and look the other way?

star trek...... all i can say

to far to tell

great picture! all you need to work on is getting your reflection out of it... great review. it's good to see a new member contributing to the forum with useful information

it could be a mix. i will say for sure when charged, it gives almost the same glow as c3, when discharged it looks pure c1. i don't think it's tritec on the gen..... i'm going to guess it's something like 70% c1 30% natural for a very slight off-white with a c3-ish glow.

my genuine is all c1 (white)

wow! i never heard of the lume falling off untill last week i got a PO sent to me to repair the same thing! the worst part was that after i reattached the lume marker, i used my dust blower to gently blow off the dust on the dial before reassembly and blew off another marker! it came off very easily too and had to be reattached. i now am reccomending everyone buying the latest batch of 4th gen PO get a relume right away before you lose a marker.

@V i get the same thing all the time. we have to remember that there are assholes in this world and every newb is not the same. they may have the same questions "who has the best sub" "will the davidsen 111h fit a rubber strap" "what is that watch in your avatar" (i get this at least 3 times a week) but everyone is different and there are some really cool people here that happen to be newbs. this case you had, i'd be super [censored] off too for sure! but i've helped alot of newbs who became very important members here and will help me now when i need help too. i agree with pug's suggestion of public questions. this is what a forum is for anyways right? in my profession i have learned that in order to be the most successful you have to learn something from everyone. everyone has at least one thing they know or do better than most. example....pugwash,TTK (photography) ....ubi (franken rolex) ...The Zigmeister (relumes, movements) .....V (video posts of uncasing a radiomir with porno in the background )....Flavor Flav (custom pams) you can learn examples of what to do in every situation, and in the case you are posting about, you can learn what NOT to do in a certain situation. but you can learn from everybody. i knew only how to change a strap when i joined the forums a few years ago, now i can pretty much do anything with watches except chrono services. i learned many things from newbs believe it or not! i hope you will change your thoughts and let the newbs back in eventually as you are a very helpful person and great to the forum and i really enjoy your thoughts on things. just remember all the newbs are not ungrateful asshats. some are and will be blocked out by us, not helped, and eventually leave here never to be seen again. some will turn out to be great to the forum like you

not even a good rep even! look at the AR! bracelet, date font, 20mm bracelet flat links, everything is wrong....... please report this.

i really like that one! enjoy it

except vmena's PO straps of course for $54 shipped!

i second that! what watch were you asking about?

i've had no luck wiggling them out.... drilling i've done but then the old tube is useless. maybe there is some sort of puller available. what i really meant is.....maybe if we nicely ask fliplockbuckle, he will show us the way to remove it with a hammer, a fork, and an old condom.

the cannon pin is a common modification which involves swapping the cannon pin and hour wheel parts and cutting the hands down a bit. alot of davidsen's are standard "modded" but all unitas asian and swiss can be modded the same by myself, The Zigmeister, vaccum,and many others here on the forum. it's a mod that you can not live without when you see the difference you cannot wear a pam with a recessed pin ever again......ever!

you forgot about the 251! a very clean chrono design.

just use a dremel and a fine polishing wheel. it's very easy to avoid the brushed section because it's not at the same level. easy five minute job. i polish mine frequently.

i would love to know how to get that dam thing out! i'm sure fliplockbuckle has a solution for us!

awesome work vaccum as usual! i'm looking at my remaining c3 lume ready to do the same to my ultimate and looking at my gen and i realized.... it's c1! it's all c1! dial, hands, and pearl on my genuine. both my gen smp's are c3 but the gen is definatly c1. the weird thing is. it glows like c3. i don't think it's the normal tritec superlume on the gen. c1 never glows as bright as the genuine does. it's a bit puzzling!

dam good idea! i got a few from hyde park. they will take some offers within reason.

hyde park will deal on VC

i don't think there is a see through back that will fit the case but check with ofrei. probably will cost as much as the watch itself LOL! as for the box and accessories check with silix.

please please tell me it's a rep.....please! i aalmost buy this gen every time i go to vegas....every time!
