Generosity, and when Thank You just isn't enough

[ubiquitous]

How does one express a level of gratitude when words just aren't enough?

As I type this, I am without the words to adequately express my appreciation of the generosity demonstrated by a friend. For no rhyme or reason, I was gifted with this phenominal (and quite rare) titanium Panerai case by w0lf, an amazing member, contributor and friend here on RWG. What began as a series of questions after seeing his stunning PAM40 project, he not only educated me on what to look for, but he also gave me the basis for a project of my own.

Thanks just isn't enough...

And of course, you guys know I couldn't hold back with such goodies in my hand! I went straight to work in putting a quick, working mock up together. This is just a rough sketch for now; the final draft will be comprised of a Swiss 6497 and fine tuning of the components.

FGD Dial and Asian 6497

Case bits

And all together on a Dirk Deluxe with sewn in PVD buckle...

What's that they always say? So much more than just a watch? Yes... Yes, indeed! Thank you, Mr. K!

Cheers,

//ubi

I can think of no one more deserving of such generosity! Nice acquisition Ubi! Definitely loving the Ti PAM's lately. I love the 040 and I really love LHOOQ's Ti PAM 082 Amerigo Vespucci

Given the countless times you have helped members on here, this is only fitting - from yet another esteemed member such as wolf.

Good Karma, proof that what goes around, comes around. Looks great as always R!

It's Karma Ubi, so many times you have played it forward it is nice to see something come back.

This is in no way overlooking the fact that W0lf has generosity to spare himself.

Community...others seek it, we have it.

+1 I really cant say it any better than that,congratulations Ubi

[Toadtorrent]

YESSSSS...somebody was actually able to help Ubi out after all his support for other members of the forum!!! Fantastic...

[lhooq]

There are some pretty amazing people in this community, and I can only echo what the others have said about karma. Big, big thumbs up to w0lf!

[TeeJay]

As above, this is justa sign of the good karma you've accumulated through your own kindnes and generousity If that's just a sketch, I can't wait to see the finished masterpiece

[dluddy]

Good stuff Ubi. Beautiful piece

Wolf has proved to be a wealth of PAM knowledge and has really become quite expert on all things PAM

His act here is what this place is all about

[Justasgood]

Is that the best he could do . ......pffft, well I am sure you can turn it into a work of art anyway

Now, put it away and work on that really special project

Have a great day and enjoy that Pam. Kudos to wOlf.

I love this place

[hackR]

great, great, great...

[P4GTR]

It's great to see it come back around. Well, what can I say when the others have put it so eloquently already. Two great members at it again.

I love this photo. Can I frame it and hang it on my wall?

[ubiquitous]

Indeed- Mr. W0lf has really gone way above and beyond. His gesture has definitely left me speechless!

I just need a few things to bring to the party before I can call it done, but for the time being I do consider it to be in a 'working development' state; it's far from done, but I can at least wear it and enjoy it until it sees completion!

Mrs. Ubi loves it, BTW. The contrast of the aged markers and dark Ti case... Not to mention how light it is... I may find myself having to 'borrow' it from her when I want to wear it!

[HauteHippie]

Fantastic! And it comes as no surprise to see you on the receiving end of such a gesture, after all you do R.

On a completely unrelated note, what lens are you using for those pics?

[ubiquitous]

Some 50mm macro lens. I'll check the specifics when I get home tonight...

[FxrAndy]

Good Karma, proof that what goes around, comes around. Looks great as always R!

+1 on this post and all the rest, you have help so many members including my self it is nice see!

I think we all should thank wolf for paying a little back from us all

[Utheman]

That is truly generous and so well deserved!

[chiman12]

Cheers to both of you!

Karma indeed!
