My new additions: PAM111, Seagull 1963 reissue

Have the PAM111, my only manual wind. Love that watch. Sporting a classic Millie Miglia with Dunlop tire band, and silver turned face.

Sorry for the beginner questions again, but any idea where to get the best leather straps? As well as a trusting place to fix up my watch?

Vintage Record Geneve...dont know much about this brand except that they were bought by Longines in the 60's or 70's I believe. An ebay score from last year...listed as being from the 30's-40's. Not sure if that's accurate or not...but I was looking for a nice looking vintage manual wind watch and this fit the bill.

PLEASE no smacking me around... But, LOOK at THIS new product over on KickStarter. Certainly NOT high fashion, but cool nonetheless:

Not the best photo. Watch the video! SEE: LunaTik Watch The iPod Nano just snaps in. He's got 4,000 + backers and has ALREADY raised more than $300K. Wow!

Try Ann Fox for great leather bands on eBay. Her handle is: FoxBands

I've bought about a dozen bands from James Rust, of Rustwatch. The merchandise has been first rate, the prices a bargain, and Mr. Rust has been a pleasure to deal with.

Most of them have been crocodile or alligator from the Hirsch Artisanal line. I also bought a Tiffany-branded lizard band.

Here's a link to his eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Rustwatch

He also sells pretty much the same merchandise on Blujay, for a few dollars less than his eBay prices. I wasn't familiar with Blujay before, but the buying process works well (with payment via PayPal). Here's a link to his Blujay store: http://www.blujay.com/?page=profile&...name=rustwatch

Not quite

You'll see that the tachy bezels are slightly different. This is the steel 116520, with the lovely panda dial from the white gold Daytona. The dials are interchangable, but such nonsense is frowned upon by Rolex. Which I fortunately don't care about, since the watch belongs to me and not Rolex

I reserve piety for my vintage pieces. Of course I kept the original dial, if I feel like changing back.

That is actually kinda cool.
