Been casually collecting cheap and now i realise nasty Panerai's over the last 2 years now from certain bays and trying to fix them myself (can you tell its not my day job).

This was my fav but after going swimming on holiday in Nov it packed in so with my nimble spade like fingers i decided to fix it but instead super glued all the workings together, don't ask. Dirk strap and a Gen Pam buckle though oooooooh

I stumbled across this site before Christmas and thank god i did the information and member’s knowledge here is second to none. Now that i know what i know i ordered a Pam 177h fully modded with fat dagger from BELIAL2K which is then getting sent to vaccum for palp crown fitting. I’ve also got a Pam 253 updated version on its way from Andrew which i might update the movement with a swiss version (this possible ?), but that’s not all getting ready to pull the trigger on a EL Pam 243 after seeing this pic (it screams Dirk Benedict to me don't know why just does) i need it.

Then there's the lovely Mario Paci Straps and the nice big Pre-V buckles on order.

The thing is i scrapped in mountain biking as after having 2 kids and spending £4500 on a bike the missus wasn't too happy......ahem i mean i didn't have time to pursue my hobby, but now I’ve found a new way to spend money this is really going to boil her piss :D. so i'm blaming it all on you lot, Thanks guys.

I will take a white dial and caseback off your hands. Let me know what you wanna get rid of.

Funny post @tails You're on thr right track, I think :wink:

MP's are great (as are E's GeF's - underappreciated IMO) and I reckon the 243's my next sub - btw, that shot looks like it's one of CJ's - it's a great shot [smilie=thumbsup.gif]

Have fun at RWI.

Nice story. And I know you prefaced this, but HOW did you glue all those parts together.
