Did you notice the hydrometer/thermometer? Left over from an abandoned Humidor project.

PAM00520 Gorgeous rep with hand wind chronograph movement.

I did notice the thermometer, but didn't look closely. What I actually thought you'd done was embed a super accurate watch, maybe something linked to the atomic clock or a super accurate quartz, to use as a reference for when you set the time on one of your Pams. At least you know the watches aren't getting too hot however.

What as lovely watch and movement!!! That's the nicest Rep movement I recall seeing on the forums.

Bell & Ross 123 Heritage Sports.

Sadly there are no rep SS bracelets for these. The bastards simply have never made one.

So being the resourceful guy I am, I played around with bracelets I had on hand and found the one off my Seiko 5 sports to suit it best.

End links are no way near right, but you make do with what you have.

That answers a question that’s been rattling around my head and occasionally coming out of my fingers and into google. End links .... end links.... it’s all about the end links.

I thought perhaps a bracelet from an Omega spectre may suit it better as the End links are similar. Thing is though, it doesn’t take much difference in End links for them to be unusable.

So this is about as Aussie as you can get.

Haigh & Hastings M2 Diver. Retail is about $600AUD, picked mine up at a steal for $250AUD

Seiko powered

Sapphire crystal

30ATM

Very sturdy well made watch.

Check out the dial print for a bit of Aussie humour. Sorry for the shithouse pics, I’m meant to be working.

Absolutely love the Haigh & Hastings M2 Diver ... and the Aussie Humor is noted. I think that's a really cool watch!  I've not heard of the brand before - but I'm very new to the watch scene.  In fact i havn't worn a watch at all because of work for the last 25 years. I bought my first watch earlier this year and only just started collecting watches a couple of months ago. 

Is the Haigh & Hastings a gen or a rep?

It’s gen mate, I would highly doubt it’s been repped.

You have been looking and that does look like a close match with the long lugs. As you say slightly out on a end link especially SELs and it simply won’t fit or will look sloppy - spring bar position matching lugs holes .... chances are slim. You did amazing well to chance on the match you have. Now off to google ‘custom end links R us’. Wish me luck.

Orient automatic I practically stole off some poor bastard in eBay. Was brand new in the box and was nothing more than lunch money.

Yikes, apologies for the horrific photography but I'm rarely free during daylight hours to take a nice photo of my watch box.

 

This one is full... need a new one.

YM is on a nato until my Rubber Strap arrives.

Cool, looks like there’s a bunch more degenerate aussies here now days. Col still about? 

 

some nice collections about here. Makes me sad thinking about those all sold over the years. PAMs, bloody PAMs. I need to figure out how to post pics again since photobucket dropped nuts, I’ll just leave this here in the meantime :bananarider:

Now that’s a well thought out collection mate. Covers most styles, lacking a GMT though, but I saw you eyeing of Dels new Tudor!

Are they all gen? I’d say first four are but the last four are repoed so well it gets hard to tell these days. 

Really lovely mate, great pics too, thanks for sharing

No reps anymore sadly. I’ll dig through old hosting sites see if I can locate some pics. Got out of hand eventually had upwards of 60 at any one point :facepalm:

EDIT - Just realised Photobucket has begun re-hosting images albeit water-marked, for free. Saves me having to go through old pics, my old Äussie collection"over the ages are mostly uploaded here -

I was up over 40 recently, have had a massive rep sell off to buy gens instead. 

Down to 21 watches now, couple more reps to sell/giveaway
