Finepics Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Well I guess you have to count me in!!
sssurfer Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Hi chieftang, I am interested in 6 pieces. If you are going to get AR coating on some lenses, I would take 3 pieces AR coated and 3 naked.
lovepanerai Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 great effort count me in for at least 6
ajoesmith Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 yes yes yes, you can count me in too, maybe for 2 or 3 or more
Indyclmbr Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Would these work with the new 2893 gmt datewheels? If so, I may be in. Just trying to figure out how it would be better than the one I already have. Climb on.
HauteHippie Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Posted November 22, 2006 Would these work with the new 2893 gmt datewheels? If so, I may be in. Just trying to figure out how it would be better than the one I already have. Climb on. The main question is what is the diameter of the genuine cyclops for your watch? Generally for F,G,H, and I (?) series PAMs the cylopes are around 7mm in diameter (so this new one will be sized appropriately), while the older watches were smaller - 6mm or so. So, for example, the 27a and 28a power reserve reps are better off with the watchmen 6mm cylops.
shultz Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) Just assembled one of the watchmen's 6mm cyclops to my 029. Although this is an "old" watch I guess the 7mm would look better on my 029. Please count me in for 2 (two) 7mm pieces, okay? Edited November 22, 2006 by shultz
Chronus Posted November 24, 2006 Report Posted November 24, 2006 The PAM autos I have are 028, 029, and 063... would it be appropriate for these? I may be in on a couple anyway in case I go for other auto PAMs later on (eg. PAM194 if it's ever in titanium, or a 7750 GMT PAM).
HauteHippie Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks for the responses thus far. However I do have to commit to a 100 pc order, so I'm going to need to see a little more interest in this if the project is going to proceed.
lovepanerai Posted November 25, 2006 Report Posted November 25, 2006 OK I am going to up my commitment to 10 if that helps :-) c'mon guys can't hurt to have 1 or 2 extra for future purchases
HauteHippie Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Posted November 27, 2006 lovepanerai, that does help. But at this time I haven't seen quite enough interest to proceed with the project. So, here's a shameless Monday bump.
sssurfer Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 C'mon folks, with all those new Submersibles, Arktos and so out there, paid way over 200 USD, I can't believe that so few people are interested in getting a step towards perfection at a mere 25-30 USD! And a step that is not merely aesthetic, but actually enhances the way you enjoy your watch. Date readability is not trivial, isn't it?
rsv123 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Put me down for one - prefer without A/R coating (if there's a choice).
lovepanerai Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 where are the perfectionists here c'mon people
HauteHippie Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Posted December 1, 2006 Final specs are being reviewed by the engineers... I really hope to see some more interest so this project can move forward. I know there are alot of Arktos and Submersibles out there that would look a whole lot better with a proper cyclops - so speak up people!!! Now is the time.
Chicken Manny Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 I would be up for 4, if not more.
TK471 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 I would be up for 4, if not more. I am up for one for my 63 GMT without a doubt!!!
