Looks like he did an excellent job on his project! :wub:

Thanks UBI for posting my pics, you are a friend.

For the others, really nice frankens. I love especially the 6263.

Nice to see a healthy dose of one-upmanship here :D

Euno - never complete without your frankens on show - always a pleasure to see those beauties :wub: plan on playing 'snap' in the new year ;)

L&T - glad to see you finally pulled the 16710 it together, I know it was a bit hairy for a little while back there, so big congrats she looks amazing :thumbsupsmileyanim:

(PM me re. the 'transplant' ;) )

Don't even start... I am going to :cry: as well.... :lol:

I already am..the world champion vintage PAM!

It's interesting that Panerai heavily mods the Angelus movement for the modern 8-days--changing the winding gears and probably replaint the non-"angelus-engraved" bridge plates. I like the look of the original better...

On edit: in fact--you can see the rep-style bridge overlay plates clearly in the pics below....

Any more details? And no I don't want to know 'URGENTLY' the source of the Angelus :bleh:

K, like most 240s, this came from a 40s Angelus desk clock - I had one myself earlier this year, not even the stem wound variant but I received a big offer so I flipped it.

As for Gil's watch here, I could give you all the details you want (dial, case etc..) but it's painful *sniff*....nooooo, it's no good I can't help it...waaaaaaaaah!

:cry:

:frusty:

Stunningly beautiful :wub: I admit to feeling a touch of 'what if/if only' remorse it must be said :(

MOTORHEAD - No remorse

All men know what waits for us

Wooden box, worm and dust

Maybe heaven, pearly gates

Hasty prayer, when it's too late

Burn in hell, all is lost,

Purgatory, fingers crossed

Which or Who, your or mine?

Eternity's a long, long time.

Never mind, nevre fail

Right this time, on the nail

Never mind, Never mind, Never mind, Never mind

No remorse, No remorse, No remorse, No remorse

You know it well, confess it now,

Christian guilt, is what's allowed,

Other words are heresy

Burn forever 1, 2, 3

What can you do? No guaranties,

Hopeful begging, on your knees,

All in all, you're going down.

Winged sinner or singed clown

[Chorus]

Repent ye fool, God will hear,

Christmas carol, midnight clear

Otherwise, pits of fire

Punishment for base desire,

Satan waits, goatee beard,

Long old tail, nasty spear,

If you believe these tales they tell

Then you deserve to burn in Hell.

Here's my favorite...Not my pic,.... but now my WATCH!!....I wear it on a nice sable brown panny strap with a deployant clasp...The "happy accident" that erased that overly busy....and totally useless Tachymetre track made this into my favorite "franken" :1a::1a:
