I posted this in Katt's section because it's really feedback for his work, but I know you other RepPaneristi will appreciate it and it will get more looks here....
This watch was my daily beater for a while. It was a cheapie bought from Josh when he was a TD here. It ran me $105. Well, it died a year ago then it almost got thrown in the trash, when I decided to send it off to Katt.
It's got some small marks on the case, and an awesome, awesome patina. I added an old Savage strap that I wore daily on my gen daylight for almost a year. I really beat that strap up, and never thought I'd use it again....
Well, I put it on the 177, and wow.... Nice vintage look....
So Cut from the other thread:

Hi guys,
I sent Katt my Pam 177 cheapie last month because the movement was kaput. He fixed it and had it relumed for me, all on a super short deadline....
The only negative was that the movement was too cheap to complete a proper cannon pin mod.
Looks amazing on my beat up old Savage strap, now it's one of my favorite Pams... And I've got 6 including 2 gens!!!! So it went from the trash heap, to the top of the watch rotation.
Katt is fantastic...

And the lume shot:
Lume glows just as bright as my H-factory reps, but a bit longer and more consistent. Excellent work by Katt!
