w0lf Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Good news everyone, I promised a comparison of the 2006 Eddie Lee dial and a genuine dial a little while back. While this is nothing new maybe someone is still interested in this kind of stuff. Both watches are MBW PAM48K bases & crystals. Genuine dial is on black gator and EL dial is on antique brown gator. EL dial was relumed by one and only The Zigmeister. First, the infamous "dial pop": Genuine 12 o'clock: EL 12 o'clock: Genuine 6 o'clock: EL 6 o'clock: It's not easy to capture the colors precisely as I'm only using my desk lamp and it's getting late, but I think you can agree that the EL dial is not bad for a 2006 reproduction. In fact it's pretty close where it counts and on the wrist it looks serious business. If you can source an old EL dial cheaply it's a very nice stand-in while you're looking for an OEM dial. Whether you end up doing a genuine dial franken or sourcing an old EL dial replacement, which is not easy but still doable; there were at least three sales of this model in the last 2 months between the boards, OP 40mm models are beautiful and project worthy watches. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed this little writeup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Wow... Pretty dang good for 2006! Not to mention the stellar job Zig did on the lume! I bet Eddie's jet setting the globe, visiting the finest strip clubs on Earth He was quite the connoisseur when it came to gentlemen's clubs!

dluddy Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 A true Rep Legend. Some of those early 2006 PAM's were pretty good - especially after Zig got done with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
