VSF PAM1074

[manphibian]

Strap is 22/20, Strap quality is ok, but still better to get a better quality strap.

It does come with Blue rubber strap

What do you want pics of?

I have 3 of them in UK, but the mods don't like me selling new watches here.

 

[manphibian]

In the meantime, what do you think of the 1074 @manphibian? How's the dial?

I think it's great. It's a keeper for me. Slightly more top heavy than the 47mm ones, but they're too big for me so this is the one.

The dial looks great, what aspect of the dial are you asking about?

 

[manphibian]

There's a slight blue tint to the AR coating, not sure if that's accurate to gen, but creates a really beautiful water looking effect with the dial in the light





Other things of note, the usual helicopter type rotor is definitely here as usual

Damn I'm so tempted to get one..
Can pretty much all TDs get these now?

a TD who can't organize a VSF is not a TD

It looks great @manphibian! My concern over the dial was strength and uniformity of the blue, whether it's matt or shiny and the alignment of the applied markers. But yours looks really good.

Which TD sent you a blue rubber strap, please? It's not listed as part of the set on Trusty or Puretime, did you pay extra?

I don't use any of these dealers, I buy direct. I have 3 of them in UK. I'll list one here tomorrow I can match the TD's price

so you are advertising watches for sale outside of the sale area ?

 

[Raddave]

i guess i need to remind everyone any and all sales must go thru the sales area and have a posted and approved sale

 

[manphibian]

so you are advertising watches for sale outside of the sale area ?

As I said right above your comment, I'll be listing on here today.

 

[Raddave]

and as I said dont be advertizing outside of the sales area

Rule 16:

16) Sales are only allowed in the sales section. No advertising or selling outside of the sales section.

OK, WTF is your major malfunction? This is an obvious back-door sale attempt as well as promoting a sale outside of the sales section. Are you just trying to be a smart arse or did you genuinely think that paying a subscription would allow you to act as you want?

Bar the movement...
It looks awesome. My only fear is, that I'll quickly buy a dozen of 22 mm straps for it

It's looking good @johnlogan and is already developing a patina! When I buy a Bronzo now, I remove the patina completely, so I know that whatever then develops is completely due to the way I've worn and used the watch (I know, I'm a funny old fish). I clean with Brasso now - I've tried lots of different methods and the problem is that if the cleaner is too acidic, it removes the tin disproportionately, so what's left has a higher percentage of copper, giving the bronze a redder hue (a bit like rose gold).

I can absolutely confirm this. Stay away from things like ketchup or lemon juice. Brasso is the best cleaner for bronze watches.

Good info I didn’t know this. To confirm, Brasso will remove the “greenish” patina color from bronze, is that right?
