Chronus Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Nothing at the moment, except I got my hours cut from 47.5 to 37.5 which means I lose about 30% of my pay Can anyone help me get a new job? I work in Financial Systems at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in Financial Systems at the moment. Sorry to hear that Chronus, not sure what Financial Systems means exactly (IT techie nerd?) but I hope you're not in charge of my money - that's a 20% pay cut not a 30% one . Not great time either, what with the new season upon us, and those expensive trips to Cardiff and Athens to save up for Maybe some moonlighting is in order - Deuce Bigalow-style? Don't knock it, it paid my way through med school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that is a [censored] then especially when a 7753 Sub Chrono is on the drawing board. Good luck my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Exactly. And my job deals with the financial packages that the accountants deal with, knowing how to use it and to train them (which means I look through the help file and explain in normal languague ). I also have to develop new things for them, but accountants being what they are this invariably means developing Excel sheets with VisualBasic behind it, but even that confuses them! By the way Doc, any advice on laser eye surgery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has to deal with bean-counters on a daily basis gets my condolences Your 'clients' are probably indirectly responsible for your hours being cut in the first place BTW I already posted on your "should I or should I not let some high street spectacle consultant fire a burning beam of light into my precious corneas" thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a coded message to say they don't want me ? I can just see how screwed they would be once I left... I guess they'll get their wish soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Bean counters are not human remember, they may look human but it's a disguise (their social ineptness and complete lack of sartorial sense is the giveaway flaw, much like crappy CGs on a Sub). Don't try and bean count the bean-counters, that way you will be assimilated and they will have your soul for all eternity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willith Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I've been gone for nearly 3 weeks and no word on the 187? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I've asked, still waiting on further developments... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Willith- Absolutely no word. At this point my guess is the only hope is Ken (honpo). There is a lingering description on the honpo page for a valjoux Panerai something priced at 100,000 yen. Also Ken is not saying it won't happen more a matter of when. So nothing has changed except I have managed to ruin a couple of my bezel markers by overpolishing on my 7750 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 This also means I still have no PAM187 as I'm not, as yet, prepared to get the Asian 7750 version. I guess I have to continue being patient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 i think that the version with swiss eta 7753 mvt won't be released (if it will be ever!) so soon.... guy get yourself the 187 with asian 7750...the price has dropped and the rep is good...

ehtolcad Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 this project is like 2pac (or elvis for the older crowd) i'm pretty sure it's dead, but there is a sneaking suspicion that it is still alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't afford both and would always be unhappy with it I think, knowing I could have, should have got the 7753 version. If the 188 and 196 can be with a 7753 I don't see why the 187 can't be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I am still betting it is coming and the price is north of $800. Now what does 100,000 yen convert to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 And on top of that I want a Doxa Sub 750T ... I saw a Sharkhunter 750T but it was gone anyway (all on Timezone)... very tempting but no money I like their orange rubber straps for it too. Oh 187 wherefore are thou ?

Chronus Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 An update on PAM187 with 7753. I haven't heard about the version from the people I was talking to but came across information that Watchonpo are working on one. I think kruzer00 takes credit for this info. I think the hold-up at that end is that they are trying to sort out the copper covered bezel markers. I would have thought they just replace with solid stainless steel, screwed into the bezel?

Watchmeister Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I am happy to take the credit when there actually is one. My point is simply that many months ago when we first discussed this Ken let us know that they would be considering it over the Summer. Now it does appear they will do it and if they can use SS markers screwed down with the AR coat crystal and etched He Valve as the Honpo version originally was with the proper movement we will have one hell of a watch.
