bruce79 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 Here are some pics of my 036. Though it's sort of difficult to tell from the pics, the dial is a beautiful dk tobacco brown...much different than the standard dial (ie: Ruby dial) which is just too brown, IMO. I just removed the "AR" coating on the crystal which improves it's looks 1000%. The ar coating took literally 90 seconds to remove...the easiest I've ever done. I've had several brown dial Ti pams and this is the first one that looks the part. The strap is a Simona Vintage Tan.
SubFrog Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Bruce...that's one damn fine watch. Love the stainless case, brown dial, and the strap. (oh, and a good cigar always helps)

bwhitesox Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 How do you remove the AR Bruce as I need to do that to my Zero.?

How do you remove the AR Bruce as I need to do that to my Zero.? 2 minds thinking the same
fishgodeep Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 @B - great looking watch - right to remove the AR makes a big difference - the dial is very good - where did that one come from - nice thick indices and a great colour!! Cheers FGD
bruce79 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys. To remove the AR, you need to remove the crystal. Then just use some green jewelers rouge and a dremel...works like a dream. Usually it takes like 10-15 minutes to remove rep AR, and anywhere from 20-30 minutes to remove Chief's AR or K2222's AR. I got the 036 from a fellow member so I'm not sure where it originally came from but the dial is unlike any tobacco dial I've ever owned or seen. Normally, rep tobacco dials are very brown...not dk brown or tobacco like they should be but sort of a 'bright brown' if there is such a thing. That's why Ti pams with tobacco dials have never grown on me...something about the brown dials. But I feel fortunate to have this 036. The indices are a nice cream color and they look superb against the tobacco dial. Just need to fix the crown guard pin and switch the 'L' to 'T' and I'm set.
abakan Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 it came from Josh, but a long time ago...
mikerblade Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 Nice 036 Bruce, I agree about the dials, I couldn't live with mine so It became a 040
