r11co Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) Seeing this in an earlier thread has given me an idea.. Following my shennanigans with Andrew's suppliers and his 45mm Planet Ocean, I now have a complete, fully functioning but 'strapless' black bezel/faced PO assembled from the duffers I received plus some spare parts. I fancy trying a redial with the orange numeral face of the 45mm rep and tracking down a black strap with orange stitching as shown above. Watch this space....

rek001 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 You could buy a nice black strap with white topstitiching, then get a permanent Sharpie orange marker and dye the topstitching orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallguy83 Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 There was a tutorial somewhere on restitching a PAM strap. Maybe get a cheap strap, restitch it for practice, then get a nice strap and do it up right with the orange stitching? I'll try to see if I can find that post. It could be on old RWG still.

poopypants Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) so is that watch above a Fantasy Photoshop watch? or is it real? If this is real, i may have to buy my first Omega! Edited April 13, 2006 by poopypants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of reps of that watch, anyone know how far off the subdials would be on a 7750 version of the PO chrono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have snake strap that is beautiful but poorly stitched that I would love to save. I didn't know we had instructions for such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 @poopy - the watch is real. Anounced at Basel this year. Dunno if it is in the shops yet though. @archi - the dials would be bang-on, but the datewheel would be sunk (as per the 7750 pannys). A 7753 version would be 100%.

tallguy83 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I can't find the thread for restitching a PAM strap. I'll keep looking though. In the meantime, I did find this: http://www.speedystitcher.com/main.html Some daring soul should pick one up, some cheap straps and give it a go. This could fast become a popular mod for straps. Adding different colored stitching that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
