Watchmeister Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I have received the first group of PAM crowns as discussed in the following loop: http://www.rwg.cc/members/Interest-in-Genu...wns-t26930.html The crowns are offered at $67.00 plus shipping, a couple of dollars over cost to provide a little cushion. I will only take paypal and will ask for an initial payment for the crown and then a subsequent payment for shipping after I have determined the exact cost of shipping to you. I will utilize the lowest cost method available from USPS which includes tracking. Breaking up the payments will make sure everybody gets charged accurately for shipping and will allow me to reorder more quickly if demand exceeds supply. Everyone will be on their honor to send the second payment once I inform them what the shipping cost is. The first group was only 25 (and I want a few ) so I suspect I will have to reorder. No worries if you are not included in the first order. Since I have a busy schedule like many here, I am going to take one trip to the post office for the first group. There is no implied warranty or guarantee. If you have any concerns don't buy. What we know is that they are all 0.9 mm so they will not fit handwinds. We also know that you will need a watchsmith to potentially make modest case adjustments and/or adjust gaskets. Ziggy has fit one on my 2893 and they should fit 7750's as well but I have not tried it yet. They are available in SS and PVD. Most PVD's will likely be in the second batch as I got only a couple in this order. I can give no advice as to installation as I don't do it so questions regarding installation will not be answered. Needless to say, I reserve the right to sell to whoever I want in whatever order I want. If you intend to have Ziggy install your crown please let me know when you pay--all of the crowns going to Ziggy will go in one package on the day I ship. Please do not respond via PM. Please address inquiries to watchmeisters@gmail.com. Sound familiar? I will provide paypal info in my response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 That's a great saving on ebay cost! Really thanks, kruzer, you rock! Email sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Thanks Kruzer, I will send an email within the next few minutes - I want 1 for a 2893 PAM 029. I'll send payment as soon as I read your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 So far so good. When I have a sense of demand I will order additional ones if it is warranted. What I do know is they are going on 4 2893's, 3 Daylights and my 24A. But I am in no rush. I can do the second group if warranted. And yes the saving is significant. I had bought a few and they were creeping up in price over $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (or he) can let everyone know how that goes. Email sent. Thanks, Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yodaddynukka Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 i sent an email a couple days ago and i am eagerly awaiting payment instructions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 The first batch is largely sold out. I will be shipping as many as I can in the next couple of days. For those who have a slot with Rob they will be shipped for sure. I will apologize in advance if I miss any individual orders. They are not forgotten. On Wednesday I am headed out of the country for 10 days so no one freak out. I have your crowns and they will get to you. I am hopeful I can get them all out. I am going to order my second and last batch while I am away as there are no longer any left for me. If anyone else wants in please send email to watchmeisters@gmail.com. This has been a success as all have payed promptly. I look forward to seeing the modded results. And for all those 1.2 guys I am making one last ditch effort to see if he has any remaining 1.2's. The seller's english is not very good and my Turkish is worse. So I am going to resort to pictures to try and explain it. Much thanks to my Watchmeister teammates who have been very helpful to the process. Arch, where is the pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...p;rd=1&rd=1 It looks like the crowns that Homer was offering some months ago. Decent, but nothing special. Wrong teeth number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Nothing like the post above. Here is the seller's actual ebay offering: http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-PANERAI-WATCH...1QQcmdZViewItem Quick Update. I have received and shipped the first batch. The second batch is on the way and is largely subscribed as well. Big thanks too all participants. With the exception of one or two everyone has payed and I am willing to keep the excess so no worries from my end. So far no money lost (or made) and everyone is getting the maximum discount I could negotiate. I am not inclined to order any more as the supply and demand equation has worked out well. I believe I still have a few left but will have to sort out next week. If someone is dying for one or there is substantial additional demand please let me know. - Kruz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Got it. If anyone else is interested please email me at watchmeisters@gmail.com. Based on past projects I have learned to ignore posts on loops. After all, based on the last loop I would have been stuck with a lot of crowns.

I'm sending him my 188 tomorrow for the crown install. OEM crown and OEM crown guard... I can't wait to see how it looks. Thanks for your help!

Watchmeister Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Well I outsmarted myself and need to order a few more as I am down to only one for me. This is last call as he has agreed to sell me one more smaller group at the same price in light of the 50 we have bought so far. Please let me know at watchmeisters@gmail.com by Monday morning Eastern Standard Time so I can make the order and finish up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
