252 big fix!

[Dogma]

Thanks to horologie_unitas this baby is in great shape now. If you remember, this watch came in the mail last week from Puretime and it had a few issues. I was telling h_u about it and he suggested sending it to him to see if he could help it look better. Well, he did make it look a lot better! Fixed the loose CG pin, dropped the movement and fixed the smears inside the crystal also fixed the warped CG itself. Now it feels and looks like it should thanks to a good friend who's generosity I won't soon forget! Thank You, H_U!
What a guy!

Great and welldone HU...

 

[guru]

don't forget, he is German. Made in Germany stands for quality and good service!

 

[Dogma]

I can attest to that Guru!!!! He's the best and he has a background in metal.
You gotta love that.

 

[babola]

...He's the best and he has a background in metal.

I thought he was more into hip-hop :?

:wink:

 

[Dogma]

Yes, hip hop and metal of course. :lol:

 

[guru]

I guess he likes Hendrix... no hip hopp

 

[horologie_unitas]

hey Dogma, thanks for the kind words....

glad i could help.

i know the feeling of getting a watch with flaws...it bothers the shit out of you.

yep, i have a metal background.....industrial mechanic for 10 years....

sorry....no background and ties to hip hop.

great pics Dogma, and a tasteful watchband !

stick around on RWI - and enjoy the watch now.

 

[Dogma]

Thanks h_u, I will and thanks to the kindness of yourself and others here I will really enjoy it now. I have already taken it on myself to help others with their BR questions and that is what makes this place so much fun, thanks to all! Passin it on ya know. Glad the hip hop thingy was just a joke,,, :lol:

 

[alwayslate]

SHITZ! That is one good looking PAM and a friggin hot STRAP!
Where did you get the strap may I ask?

And also, was the CG pin filed so flat it kinda fused with the surface of the CG?

 

[alvinado]

I guess he likes Hendrix... no hip hopp

Jimmy Hendrix, the best guitarist in the world!

 

[Dogma]

Hey alwayslate, thank you! I got this strap from the guy on ebay,,,,Straps Monster.
I have read things about this guy here and there but my experience has been very good with him. He takes about 10 to 14 days to get the straps from him but at 4 to 7mm thick it's worth it to me. He is no joke man, he has some of the most unique straps on ebay.
BTW, I have nothing to gain from this, we're not related.
Yes alviando, Hendrix ROCKS!

[alwayslate]

Thanks for the link mate. You've just dug me a deeper hole to bury myself in....in DEBT that is!

 

[Dogma]

You're welcome, it's a sickness! You'll feel it, I know I do.
But those beautiful Pammies are calling constantly.

 

[Lezzare]

Oh man..why did you have to post that link? I just ordered a strap from Gunny which have not arrived..and now I'm buying another strap?? Heh..I guess its normal in RWI....

 

[Dogma]

Yes, very normal Lezzare! I too just ordered a Gunny strap but it won't be here till May. One is never enough when it comes to these watches or straps.

 

[alwayslate]

I'm officially BROKE. Thanks mate! Thanks ALOT!

 

[OmegaPOFL]

wow! that's really cool of H U helping you out and thanks for the strap link!!!
its crazy how straps can cost more than a rep watch *sigh*

 

[alwayslate]

Its also crazy how a good quality strap can make an average rep look GEN! LOL....

 

[Dogma]

You're welcome alwayslate, I would expect no less from you,,,,lol.
Yes atrograph they are but as alwayslate says,,,,,it makes an average rep look pretty
damn good. And good rep look even better!
