deniz21 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) so hey guys a couple of weeks ago i recieved my pam 177, liked it but i had some movmement issues a few days after i got it.. so i was sending it out to a friend who found the issue and solved it, now my watch runs ultra smooth and keeps perfect time but there where a thing about the Ti i didnt liked (never had a ti watch btw) so i thought to my self should i keep it, should i sell it, or should i make some experiments to figure out if i can make the ti more like my liking so i tryd AUTOSOL metal polish out, to give the watch a smoother and shinyer finish , and the result was surprisingly good :)well at least for me is the result good, because i realy like it .. it has a dark metal look, it looks almost a bit like the liquid omega but not so shiny , its hard to describe, but its cool, its not complety polished or too shiny it has still a clear brushed look well here are some pics for you and specialy for our man P i hope you like them, but this are only iphone pics taken in my car, so excuse that there are not the best quality, but you guys get the idea the strap is a heroic18 great straps if you ask me cheers Edited February 22, 2011 by deniz21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hawkes Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Nice watches and nice pics. I'm tempted by Hublot but I just can't get over my fear of A7750 movements.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmindalliance Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I like it! I would much rather wear it polished like this than with the original finish. Good on you for having the guts to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subbiesrock Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 The polished Ti turned out surprisingly well mate looks better than the standard matte finish IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 D mate...You are the man ! Thank you for taking the time to post the pics mate....I appreciate it I must say I really like it...especially the way the grainer look of the Ti shines through gives it a really unusual look.... That took some balls mate and I have to say you really pulled it off !! Wel done Of course its a subjective thing and I guess a few wont like it but to be fair I think all would admit that it has turned out better than you would think even if you didnt like it..... I think the strap looks great mate...what sort of money was that ? and where did you source it? Direct? Overall I must say if I didnt have plans for my 177 I would seriously consider doing the same....assuming there would not be a copyright issue !! I almost get the feeling that it could give a worn PVD look in certain lights but I may be wrong.... Thanks for sharing mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 looks great.. but i wouldn't call it polished.. still quite brushed in my opinion. Albeit shinier than original. You should work it some more and see if you can't get a mirror shine with a polish wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adz Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I started reading this and thought oh no, but when I saw your pics, it looks awesome! Nice work man. I think I'll do te same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Some may think it looks better polished than the "matte" finish but remember that You probably NEVER will be able to make look like it was before this polishing But it certenly was brave of You to try this Thanks for posting it! Wear it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Nice job there Lad. Being titanium, it will always have the color of the metal, but what you did makes it look fantastic. Nice tip. @ the 7750 fellow, I have owned 8 of them and 1 broke down completely. That was a Graham Chronofighter. My Hublot is working beautifully after 5 years. The 7750 has not been any bother, and the chrono function still works for days. I forgot to turn it off but it kept right on beat. Perfect time..Worry not Edited February 23, 2011 by hambone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 It is certainly a good effort and it looks pretty sweet , but i think its one of the issues with the 176/177's they simply don't work as well as the tobacco dialed varieties of PAM Ti jobbies. I've had a few older versions of the 177 and they are just literally so dull . At least you've put yours on a nice bright strap to lift it a bit , when they are on black rubber they are just coma inducingly bland, they are sort of accountancy grey . Don'y get me wrong its a quality timepiece , but I can be dull enough on my own and really dont need any assistance from my watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yeah Totaly Agree with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I find that very demeaning to all those poor accountants beavering away at their journals behind their desks..... Nothing wrong with a nice bit of black rubber.....in the right circumstances ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deniz21 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I started reading this and thought oh no, but when I saw your pics, it looks awesome! Nice work man. I think I'll do te same yeah if you like it, do it , be be aware i dont know if you can make it the same dull look again... i made it only with the hands, i did a small amount of polish on a old tshirt, and applied it in it, and then gently polished the watch with it, i did it two times and liked the result. i think a cape cod will have the same effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Looks ver nice, I don't like watches that are very matte looking. I just got mine last week. These are selling 'like hotcakes' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 yeah they are real great watches, everyone from the hublotmakers is a bargain for the money 005 maybe my next watch, but i still hope so much for a pam without a second hand are you trying to give yours also a more shiny look? im online on my phone so i cant see it properly is yours polished also?? yes yours i polished too right? hey we should start a club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
