TWP Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) Victoria As we had discussed in my suprising email to you here is your completed panerai 190. Please note as we discussed that i just did the dial and hand relume. I did manage to work the hands enough to get the minute hands almost flush with top off cannon pinion. I know you will be satisfied as my tolken of appreciation for your support during my many moments of strife. This one is FREE Victoria. There is part of the minute hand that i am going to look at closely as i am satisfied with the lume, but if that is the case a qucik fix. Victoria, I would be honoured for you to accept this as a gift. Thank you for lending an ear when i need one. Thank you for shoring up some of my threads when they needed it. Thank you for reassuring new customers that i always follow through. What many of you do not know is that my wife and i have been going through some tough times. A couple weeks ago I was kicked out of the house after she found a couple emails from a colleague i work with. Needless to say wives do not appreciate nude pictures of women being sent to their husband. I have seemed to suffer from fatel attraction. Slowly but surely after all my phone records, hard drive scans, and polygraph test came back negative my wife has allowed me back into our house. For thouse whom have had marital problems it is a real b i t c h . Sorry V. Through these tough times Victoria has been very supportive and has lent her ear. I appreciate everything you have done and everything you will continue to do. From the bottom of my heart. Thanks. Gob Bless. Okay the pictures and these were taken fat folks so be easy on me Dial and hands down with c9/c3/c1 mixture for longlasting results. Considering i used the rep short cannon pinion the results i think are not that bad. after working the hands for about 30 minutes i managed to get the minute hand damn near flush. Oh so close as you see. Caseback showing the base asian movement. These new asian base movements are coming much nicer than ever My favorite part my C9/C3/C1 'plume' mixture Victoria you can always send up the gold hands so i can put them on. I think it woulld look better. Anyways, enjoy the watch. I will mail it out this week once i decided on the hand Have a great day Victoria Cheers TWP Edited December 16, 2007 by TWP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Kudos to you (and yes, Victoria as well), TWP! Vicky is a person who is a bless and a honour to be in confidence with, and I am so sorry to anyone who do not realize it. BTW, that is an exceptional watch. A perfect fit with the addressee.

Victoria Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I am speechless. Well, for my standards. TWP, may I say it's not often one hears such a cri de coeur from a guy here. You're one of the most frank people I've ever met online (I'm still reminded of your other post) and whatever you need outside of our business relationship, you have an ear in me. I am so sorry for your troubles. Women have a hard time understanding that a man can love his wife to death, and still cheat on her -- as I once told Sssurfer about male/female differences, men can compartmentalise their lives, whereas women tend to see the big picture. EDIT: Not your case, of course! Right now, the picture I am seeing is a beautiful watch from a generous guy. Thanks so much...we'll exchange info shortly. @Sssurfer: To meet a person of your calibre here was worth everything. That is true with other guys too. Mille grazie... @Golfman: La vie n'est pas si compliqu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Vicky is a person who is a bless and a honour to be in confidence with, and I am so sorry to anyone who do not realize it.

Very true but not the case with my situation. Also the pictures, the lume color when dry is off white just like the letters on the panerai dial. They are the same color V. Let me go take a wrist shot of it really quick. Victoria, you are a BLESSING and a WONDERFUL person. Your ability to hang your head high in the midst of the other schmucks around here show what kind of person you are. Your going to love it!

Victoria Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Here you go Victoria. It's really nice to see a watch intended for you! Now I see why Ruby wins people over, TWP. I am going to take the minute hand off tonight and redo it. I am not happy with the lume towards the base of the hand. What a perfectionist. Hope others are seeing the work you do, and for free...wow. Thanks, TWP! (I'm a little overwhelmed at present, with this unexpected kindness. It's been a rough time for me, and this is just the tonic I needed. Thank you guys...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB7 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Lucky vicky....TWP I hope everything works out for the best, I have been in the room for countless polygraph sessions @ work and let me tell you they are by no means a good time...In fact its a horrible, miserable and uncomfortable experience to go through so god bless your soul..Most people who take a poly for the 1st time show deception and fail the test before it even begins b/c their so nervous...It's actually quite a simple science, if your body reacts to the "control" questions more than "relevant" you will test ND (no deception) but if your bodies respond more to the "relevant" questions rather than the "control" questions you fail - My point being, obviously you were telling the truth and your wife has nothing to worry about .... Unfortunately I have to take one once a year for my job and I hate it more and more every year...TWP you are the man and I have been really happy with the 111h, the lume is outta this world! Thanks again buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again buddy! I would never wish that on anybody my friend. I have never taken a polygraph test and I was nervous as hell, but answered all the questions truthfully. Naturally, questions were asked that made me uncomfortable, "Were you attracted to her pictures," quite frankly Yes, but I never had intentions to sleep with the broad. I cannot even imagine taking one ever year, but hey if you have nothing to hide then i guess it might be okay. Victoria You are most welcome. The 183H is being completed tonight!

inmotion Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Awesome gesture TWP I can also say that Victoria is a great person to talk to. When my DSN 112 stopped working, she was one of the first ones to send me PM (on RWG) and even took a beating from some members due to a conflict with The Zigmeister. Even after that, she helped me look for a watchsmith in Toronto through several more pms. i guess my point is that Victoria is one of those members whom you feel attached to after one pm simply because they genuinely care. TWP: i hope things can work out soon enough at home, i'll be keeping you in my prayers. also, the watch is awesome and a great gestures on your part. Victoria: what more can i say? you're the best! Holiday wishes to the both of you and a happy new year. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers T I totally sympathise with you on that. I get on extremely well with my fiance's mother. We're both Libras, so in terms of pure personality, we get on, dare I say, better than I get on with my fiance, simply because we have incredibly similar opinions/reactions to things. My fiance is well aware that, before we got together, I was seeing a woman considerably older than me, so every so often, will accuse me of fancying/having an affair with her mother. To be honest, it's a hard situation as, if I turn round and outright say that I don't find her mother attractive, she'd know I was lying, but of course, that doesn't mean that anything would ever happen. I guess it's just one of those 'no win' situations... Glad to hear it's all working out for you though PS Awesome work on the watch, I can't wait to let you get to work on mine (Come on payday ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
