a german in denmark Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Hi there, after collecting a little more than one year and being a member of this fabulous forum, I have these beautiful timepieces. They all have flaws, more or less: the PAM'S no proper cyclopes and AR, the Cousteau has a loose day wheel and the 3717 a misaligned ditto and a really bad logo on the crown, but they are all fixable and I love them. The 3717 gets most wrist time btw., because it's so comfortable to wear (and easy to read...). My next purchases would be Dvdsjp's Ultimate Fiddy, the new 42 mm Aquatimer and definitely a big Pilot, if and when it comes our way..... Thanks to all you guys in here for knowledge and inspiration. Cheers, Volker
deltatahoe Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 nice choices AGID... i like the look of the black sfso on the shark? strap.... btw, where are you living in denmark? i studied in copenhagen for four months while i was in school; lived with a family in brondby during that time.... deltatahoe
a german in denmark Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks deltatahoe, and yes, the SFSO is on shark, from BOB. I live in the south of Fyn, the island between Sjaelland and Jylland. Cheers, Volker nice choices AGID... i like the look of the black sfso on the shark? strap.... btw, where are you living in denmark? i studied in copenhagen for four months while i was in school; lived with a family in brondby during that time.... deltatahoe
dluddy Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Nice collection. great choices for your first year Thanks for sharing
By-Tor Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Great collection. And very nice pictures man!
a german in denmark Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks guys, it's a pleasure to "show off" and to get some nice comments. It's my 3rd week of summer vacation, it has been raining hammers and nails the first 2, so I had lots of time taking pics. Btw., ByTor, I like your pics (and reps) too
b16a2 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Beautiful collection! Superb picture of the IWC Costeau, one of the best I have seen of it!
Timepiece Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 i like the look of the black sfso on the shark? strap.... Yep, me too, I'm getting one for my white dial SFSO after the summer (when the rubber Breitling strap comes off) !! That PAM063 and 3717 are definitely on my wishlist now (thanks also Bazz and DeltaTahoe...) ! Please somebody explain to me why the official site shows the Cousteau diver with an orange part while I don't see it on the reps; is that a revival thing?
yellomen Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 Very nice collection!! Congrats with such beauties... and that in only one year
Bazz Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Great collection and well thought out pics, thanks
Stephane Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Congrats on your collection. Beautiful pics aswell. One of the best serie I've seen so far. Cheers Stephane
sssurfer Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Excellent collection, congrats! And yes, yours is probably the best Cousteau shot ever.
ubiquitous Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Great collection, and excellent pics! I'd say you've done quite well during your first year
a german in denmark Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Posted July 22, 2007 Thanks for your comments guys, much appreciated! Here are two more. The BR is not getting much wrist-time though, it's too damn big and I don't like the strap. I have tried to get it off, but the bloody screws are stuck, no matter what I try. Cheers, Volker
Bazz Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Hey Volker, is the nav on a didgeridoo? Again nice pics
a german in denmark Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Posted July 22, 2007 Hey Volker, is the nav on a didgeridoo? Again nice pics Thanks mate, and yes, it is. You're a stick blower too? Cheers, Volker
dluddy Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Please somebody explain to me why the official site shows the Cousteau diver with an orange part while I don't see it on the reps; is that a revival thing? Latest (2007) model is with the Orange Chapter wheel.
Bazz Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Thanks mate, and yes, it is. You're a stick blower too? Cheers, Volker No, circular breathing is a bit beyond me
a german in denmark Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 Inspired by Bazz's gorgeous PVD'ed 111h, I ripped the BOB-Crock of my PAM005PVD ( my first PAM ever ) and put on PAM Rubber. My friend Pietro came by, and we did this picture together: and this, later on... Cheers, Volker
a german in denmark Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Posted July 28, 2007 A few more pics.... (same watches, though) on fur with shell on Alessi Thanks for looking.
Stephane Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Aaargh, I wish I had your skills. Beautiful, once more Cheers Stephane
a german in denmark Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Posted July 28, 2007 Thanks Stephane, I'm glad you like I didn't know I had those skills, actually, I just discovered them having too much time on my hand. Monday morning I have to go back to work after what easily could be the worst vacation ever, 4 weeks of rain and storm. Lots of time to develop what ever skills I have. Cheers, Volker
