Hi all. Q&Ds of my new JOA PVD, and I finally figured out how to take a lume shot! Enjoy the eye candy and cheers - IanM Specs - 44mm, handcranker ETA, sterile sandwich dial with C3, double AR, fat tubes on the screw-in lugs, subseconds at 9, presently on the 24/22 Bob presented to me by our wonderful friend JHM, and with a strapculture 22mm PVD pre-v buckle. It is presently +3 seconds after 6 days - pretty gopod for keeping very good time at +3 seconds for the first week!    |

 Skip. Didn't find any other PVD wathes I liked, so I decided to get someone to build me exactly what I had in mind. A coupla glitches along the way with this one, but I am happy with the eventual result.Now I am wondering why it took me so long to go sterile dial and to my own design specs :D I forgot to credit my very good WIS friend Jan for the Bob 24/22 strap in the photos, which I put on an SC PVD pre-v buckle. I hope Jan in particular likes the combo I picked out for this strap - he is such a gentleman and his gift is genuinely appreciated. Thanks, Jan!! |

Thanks chunkmeister and Willie - glad you like it! The lume on this one makes photographing it quite easy - dunno what I was worried about...  . Probably a fluke  It has been a "go to" watch for a week now. Today it is on a 24/24 relatively thin (2.5mm) black rubber strap with another PVD buckle that is just a tad too big for it - just trying 'em out to see what works best - but I really enjoy the combo in the pics. Cheers and thanks for your kind comments men! IanM hand6.gif |

That's pretty sweet looking Ianperfect.gif. I like it. But I'm a little lost here, JOA? Who's this? |

Hi Murphy J - thanks for the kind comments. JOA is the "brand" of Johel Orellanes. He is in the states and makes homages with and without branding on the dial. SS, PVD, various configs and movements. Please PM me if you would like some contact details - happy to provide. Cheers - IanM hand6.gif |

Thanks mcwright! It is my only hand cranker and my only all-PVD. I am genuinely enjoying it. There is something to be said about winding a watch, and not going quartz or auto. I also like that it does NOT say Panerai on the face. Am absolutely chuffed that you like the combo - thanks! Will try a few other combos this coming weekend. All-black will fer sure work, and so too might a slightly darker brown 24/24 I have... and with all this "fashion" talk we have had on the forum (another thread) I reckon I will try that buckle with a honey gold 24/24 Bob Ostrich which is winging its way here to Oz from Germany. Will have to wait a while for photos of that one - only ordered it yesterday. And how cool is that - I just realised it matches the "shadowline" window surrounds on my car d'oh!Have a great day!

Thanks O! I will post up some strap alternatives later this weekend - when the rain stops and I can get outside... :( This Bob is a ****. Your "sun behind, get the focus on the watch, point up to the sky" shots were the inspiration for the one I took in front of the car! Glad you likey - IanM hand6.gif |

Pax - you da man! Thank you, too, for your kind comments. As I said to O above - let me get some sunshine here in wheelin' West Australia and I'm gonna be a picture-takin' machine. I find that this particular PVD goes with almost every strap I've got - and some incoming straps as well. Sure is fun! Cheers all - IanM |

Thanks Griff, OldeCrow and JD - weather was horrific here this weekend, so I didn't get to go outside to take pics of a few other combos - but today (when I have no camera!) the weather is fine... Will try to do some more in the following days - very glad you like the combo! Thanks for the kind comments, men! IanM Last edited on Sun Aug 3rd, 2008 10:10 pm by IanM |
