l3x Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 I'd like to share with you my latest acquisition. So I own a few VDBs and Vac watches but all are either unbranded or MM style. No "real" rep until this one Picked it up from a member. Here's the specs (as per seller): Jimmy Fu case, Bezel and crystal gasket AR-less saphire crystal Old Flat lumed dial (relumed by VAC) Amazing Polished SS CG SS Crown Old (heavy and thick) B series Caseback stock ETA movement Tall Cannon Pin Seller did an excellent job on the CG. It's super tight and snaps open and close so beautifully. I currently have it mounted on a MP strap. I have D series case back on order. The B case back will be used for another project I'm working on. I'm also looking to install the following : This modding stuff is addicting Thnx for looking.
nuccadoc Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Great looking watch. I have to say the first time i saw one of these in was not impressed. Then one of my patients came in wearing a gen. It was sweeeeeet! Enjoy!
Ronin Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Very nice. I love the simplicity of the dial. Wear it well.
l3x Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 Thnx guys. One of the things that attracts me to pams is the simplicity...and also they are so much fun to mod.
Watchmeister Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Absolutely stunning. Wear that one well. A lot of base love on my end. By the way, now that you are hooked on modded PAM's you are now off on a fun (and expensive) ride.
projectologist Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Good gawd I love this watch. All of the necessary details are there.
asciwhite Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 I love pam`s. But one thought has struck me these days.... Do any of you remember the Swatch craze of the 80`s with inexpensive quartz watches you could personalize to the brim? Pam`s seem like the same thing only a hell of alot more expensive and stylish Just a thought *hehe* Strange that a Italian army watch can hit such a stride in customizing and so on!!
jkirke Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Now thats a beautiful result!! Wonderful parts. Is that a t_crown, or just the standard rep SS crown?

I also wonder if this pam bubble will ever burst. It's definately a hell of alot more $$$ than swatch :-) And to personalize, you buy $500 pieces of leather (not just one mind you). If it does can't wait to see what the next craze will be.
jkirke Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Lookin at your pics again.....that strap looks PERFECT. Absolutly PERFECT. I'm sure many would argue, but that color seems just right. Again, stunning piece my friend. Wonderful pics. As 'projectologist' said, you've got all the necessary details!!

Which is why we on here are lucky to be able to enjoy these pieces (modded or not)at much cheaper prices... Btw l3x, that is a beauty... wear it well!

I was able to source gen hands as well...just need to find the time to work on this. But I'm totally content with the way it is now.
fishgodeep Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Beautiful looking watch - some of the nicest parts and lume skill brought together in that one!! Simplicity itself! FGD
peepshow Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 l3x, that looks like a t48 crown to me, my friend. Add the gen dial you've got there and wear the snot out of it! Nicely done. That's a helluva first PAM rep....
