Watchmeister Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 I know Mark is just waiting to hear back from the printers any day now. At least the printers are sophisticated enough now to have a good sense of what passes muster and to reject the last set of plates that were made for this project. Can't wait though.
Finepics Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Posted February 12, 2007 Guys n gals - sorry for the continued delays. I am now back from NYC (bloody cold but bloody fantastic city!!). Straight on the phone to find out what's going on - there are more delays unfortunately. The printers have had a problem with small bubbles in the ink so some of the numbers have got micro porosities in them (it seems to affect the number 11 for some reason) and they are working very hard to correct this as I have told them that these wheels are under a cyclops so have to be perfect. They have apologised profusely about it and are trying to get it sorted out so I ask you all to please be patient - they will come soon.
sssurfer Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Welcome back, Mark, and thanks for the update and stamina! (BTW, I have been in NYC just 1 time just 1 week and it hooked me for a lifetime)

Are these the same printers that did the 7753 wheels (and will do the next run of 7753 wheels when the 187 comes out ) ?
thedoctor Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 I'm glad they are trying to make it perfect. I don't mind waiting for perfection.
Happy T Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 Guy's just a quick update - hope to start shipping next week sometime as the printers have nearly finished. Keep an eye out here for more. PM box is full..... would love to pick up a 2893/063 datewheel if any are left and available. Thanks!
Finepics Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Posted March 1, 2007 Guys - I am back and the wheels have arrived in my hands this morning. I am away for the weekend so will start shipping them next week. Please bear with me as it will take quite a while to sort, pack and address all of them so they will not all go at once.

Please bear with me as it will take quite a while to sort, pack and address all of them so they will not all go at once. No problem Mark, as long as I will get included in the very 1st batch Out of joke, really no problem, just eager to enjoy the outcome of this awesome project and effort! Thanks a lot, have a great week end!
skcheng Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 No problem Mark, as long as I will get included in the very 1st batch Out of joke, really no problem, just eager to enjoy the outcome of this awesome project and effort! Thanks a lot, have a great week end! I paid for my 2893 datewheel. I can't wait to get it!! Too cool!! Thanks Mark, skc
iglutikut Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 These will work on the PAM029 GMT with 2836 right?
HauteHippie Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Has anyone received their's yet? Yes. Mine came Monday of this week, and it's perfect... Big thanks to Mark, again.
sssurfer Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I too just received mine, and it looks gorgeous. The watch is currently dismantled for cyclops and crown renewing too, but as soon as I'll have it reassembled I'll post pictures. (To Finepics: I tried to send you my confirmation and thanks about receiveng the DW, but your PM box is full. I hope you see this here).
promotersf Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Glad they are shipping. Just checked with Rob(The Zigmeister) and he hasn't received my 063 datewheel yet...any word if you are sending it to him or if it's enroute? i have 6 more watches i'm sending to The Zigmeister with chieftang's cyclops, so please let me know. thanks mark!
Jimster Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 Mark, Will you be doing another run of 7753's? I need one for my 188. Thanks, Jim
SenileCoot Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 Finepics, I tried to send you a PM but your box was full. Any possibility of ever having a datewheel for Pam196 ETA 7753? If so, I'd gladly buy one.
shultz Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 Mark, after sending in my 7753 PAM I sent several pms and emails within the last three months but didn't receive any reply yet. I am sorry to hear of your flu and all that trouble but please understand that I am in a tricky life situation, too. I will move to another country 9.500 km away from my current home soon and of course I will have to do a lot of homework for my family and myself before which is truly not related to my watch hobby..... I would appreciate it if you could send just a short email and keep me updated. I offered to you to send my PAM196/ 7753 plus the attached parts back without assembling them first. It would save you some time. Please let me also know if my 7753 DW has been already re-printed. Please don't take me wrong: i am truly not impatient and of course I am always trying to be considerate of other people in difficult situations but I am -as said- in a personal situation which needs some sympathy, at least a short email/ reply, too. Thanks and all the best
denisegold Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 @shultz-I too have been trying to get ahold of Mark. He has not contacted me regarding two datewheels. I was going to send a watch to be modded then found Joe who worked on some watches for me. I hope that Mark contacts the members who have paid for and are waiting on datewheels and work. I/we understand family and work issues but just afew words as a heads up would help.
shultz Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 but just afew words as a heads up would help. That's exactly what I am meaning! Thanks for pointing that out!
HauteHippie Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 A few recent words from Mark: http://www.rwg.cc/member/Where-have-I-been-t23473.html
thomasng Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Have all the DWs been sent out yet? I'm still patiently waiting for mine.
denisegold Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Emails sent, and we wait. Hope Mark is feeling better!
Happy T Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 Well no responses to e-mails and his PM box being full doesn't allow one to know if they were in the first mailing or am suppose to be waiting. I was told March 1st it would be going out the next week. How many people are still waiting for their DW's from Mark? Anyone receive one recently? Anyone heard anything new from Mark? I can be patient when things are communicated.
