rolli Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 here is the pam 2533 vintage - an italian temptation, basic vintage pam with rolex dial from andrew. dial and hands from davidsen - reworked in aged style by me. new brevet crown + tube from davidsen - reworked and also the crown-shape reworked by my watchmaker. new 2,0mm lug wires formed by my watchmaker and fixed with laser-welding-technology by a local company. between the lugs are new thick springbars. -- the basic model has 1,8mm lug wires, 2,0mm is much better for the overall picture -- after finishing the case reworked in aged style and polished again. strap:
alant Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Wow amazing work! Very nice! This watch looks like it has been through World War II and managed to survive till this date!

DemonSlayer Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 I like the simplicity of the dial, very stylish indeed. Also like the vinatage work on it
fijikid Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Just gorgeous. Your aging techniques yield some fabulous results.
sharpie Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Wow, simply amazing! I'm drooling over it
turboGUATE Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Excellent work on the piece and excellent strap to match it's elegantness. Cheers!
archibald Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Excellent work on the piece and excellent strap to match it's elegantness. Cheers! Wow! Rolli You are the master of Vintage. Your recent posts remind of that thread where someone asked us how much our reps would be worth if they were real--now you can truthfully answer "priceless."
Watchmeister Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Absolutely beautiful. Excellent work. You have one of a kind, literally. As I recall there was only one ever made as it was the prototype for the subsequent 3646.
robertk Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Gorgeous......it doesn't get better than that. You're a true artist!
HauteHippie Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Tremendous! And by the way, is there anything that comes out of Italy that is not a temptation??? OK, maybe the Fiat.
rolli Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Posted January 17, 2008 thanks guys for the kind words rolli
Victoria Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 The vintaging is SUPERB, Rolli. If you ever go into the professional modding business, let me know. I'll get you to do my dial. BTW: This background photo reminds me of Isabella Rosselli, or even Louise Brooks. One of those strangely modern-faced types, who look best in mannish clothes.
madasboot Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 This background photo reminds me of Isabella Rosselli, or even Louise Brooks... a true vintage look... BTW congratulations Rolli for stepping ahead all of us on vintages. And thank you also for the photo database. I am browsing slowly... and rooling at some rare pics I never saw anywhere! M.
rolli Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 hi victoria, it's only possible with a personal challenge and taste to the details. but to hit another taste is very very hard. rolli The vintaging is SUPERB, Rolli.

rolli Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 hi m, the vintage database gives you many inspirations and new ideas for the vintage work. but you have to study the details and this several times before you get a trained eye. normally to copy a authenticity is not so easy. you need a very good taste for " less is more " rolli a true vintage look...

madasboot Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 you need a very good taste for " less is more " As an architect I know what you mean by that... best, M.
