sneed12 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I am totally blown away by how quickly my order got here. I was expecting to wait several weeks, I don't think it was even a full week. Navitimer, Serie Speciale with the standard 7750 subdial arrangement--I don't understand why the datewheel should still be sunken, but I can live with it--and a PAM 113, E/F series stamped movement which I asked for specifically. I'll be honest I was preparing myself mentally for receiving an H movement, I don't know if Josh took into account my request for an F or if I just got lucky, but it doesn't matter. Quick pics: closeups of the watches: Recessed cannon pin, but I can live with it I have been wanting stamped Panerai plates FOREVER! Slide rule alignment is pretty darn good. Not perfect, but I've seen gens with worse--my Nighthawk was worse when I first got it, and this is about as good as the factory was able to get it. Nice signed rotor. Slightly sunken datewheel I can live with, slightly off datefont I can live with. This big crystal needs AR, though, I might have to do something about that. All the empty slots are already spoken for--I have a pepsi GMT master in pieces on the workbench, as well as a 45mm PO. Vac still has my ceramic blue sub. I'm on the preorder list for a BK LV. I guess I still need a bigger box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feta1 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 It's hard to find a better dealer than Josh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I already swapped straps on the Navi and the 113--I think the white face 113 looks better with the rich brown, and the blue leather... well I ordered it specifically that way, and maybe it'll grow on me, but it's really... bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Nice watches! I on Joshes 113 and it's the same as this. BTW my watchmaker said the movement is excellent and doesn't need service and said the incablock is top qual and he'd be surprised if it was fake. IME Josh is just the best, hands down. He treats it like business (like a real business). I also love that Seiko mod, have you made a post about it? Would love to see some more of it... One question, what model is that Pam top right?

I believe It's the Pam Luminor Gmt 88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
