Watchwatcher Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 zig -- now i'm tempted have my 27 relumed -- how about a swirl of both color lumes (?). Really amazing that you have such a steady hand for this work. congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Glad you worked out the kinks on Kruzers. Mine is in the next batch coming to you Absolutely looks great and your attention to detail and sense of responsibility is why you get all of my work and have gotten it all for many years now - I expect Kruzer feels the same way. My 024/A also needs a T-lume job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgodeep Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I believe that the standard of "perfection" is as much about what the naked eye cannot see...as it is about what can be seen...... Ziggy your unforgiving attention to detail is what keeps me inspired in collecting......seldom does a piece see daylight until you have transformed it. Oh and you've sorted out one or two messes for me along the way ....learning the "hard" way that the skills you "rant" about are not acquired overnight....

Estaban Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Rob has now achieved the level of "enlightened one" in terms of watch dharma. Did I get tritium lume on my 187? I may just have to go out and get myself one more sausage dialed pam just so I can get the The Zigmeister spa treatment. Awesome post. There is a HUGE difference between what happens in The Zigmeister's "office" and elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 One word "AMAZING" I'lll start raising some funds for a good lume job . Regards Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Always happy to be the guinea pig. The L swiss L versus T swiss T is my bad as well. Needless to say I am very pleased with the results. I know how difficult it is to remove existing lume without damaging the dial. Combining Ziggy's "tritium" lume (which I can testify matches up beautifully to my gen tritium dials) with Marco's now extinct custom cyclops and Lello's datewheel makes this one fabulous rep. And Don, on that 24A stay tuned. Beyond the already done fabulous polishing job we are adding Lello's 7750 datewheel, revised crystal/cylops combo from the improved Arktos and eliminating those lume buckets. But just wait until you see the next project (if it works - ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 seeing this pics I wish I lived in Canada as well..the distance and my fear of sending watches through post is so big...this is the main reason why I don't send my watches out to The Zigmeister...I've bought so far 3 modded APM's by The Zigmeister...it is much easier to buy them on the 2nd hand market for me than sending my own to him...but after seeing all of this...my 029 and 027 are crying for the upgrade...what to do? great job master The Zigmeister! congrats... Maybe I could offer you a week of holidays in my country all inclusive and all you'll have to do is relume 2 watches for me...choose the season and we have a deal!...I'll suggest summer...

HauteHippie Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Very, very nice. And the rant was as good as the pics! My only question is how many unbelievable PAMs does Kruzer need?!?! The Zigmeister, you'll be doing a full overhaul on a 2892/Sopras based PAM for me as well in the hopefully not too distant future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 My only question is how many unbelievable PAMs does Kruzer need?!?! That is a very difficult question to answer. Especially when you factor in non-Pam watches - Swiss HBB, Swiss CD, Falco Gen dial 5512, etc. So let's just leave it at more than a few.

PAMman Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 EXCELLENT me too!!! The datewheel, cyclops and crown are being gathered together for my 027 at this moment and will be heading the same way as soon as you have the capacity The Zigmeister.

tech Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Glad Zig got to "practice" on Kruzer's 27A....Ziggy will be getting my second 27A for the works sometime after the new year... Beautiful tritium lume and good read Rob...thanks for sharing your skills with us! I look forward to getting mine done. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
