trailboss99 994 Posted August 25, 2009 Just picked this beauty up on da bay for AUD31. It's complete, watch, papers, warrenty, proof of purchase card, the Camel sticker (which is usualy gone in these sets) andthe instruction booklet. Looks in good condition too! I think this one may be a keeper. Alltho it's worth a great deal more than I paid I'm a Camel Trophy fan so . . . All it needs is some "genuine" Sth American mud I'm quite looking foward to this one actualy. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P_Diddy 0 Posted August 25, 2009 nice watch, reminds me of a simple Breitling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted August 25, 2009 Does a bit PD. Only 40mm or so tho. Looks to have a nice patina about it. Not a watch that looks it's best if too new. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted August 26, 2009 can we see a lume shot When it turns up you can see a lume shot. Hopefully it won't be too long. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted August 31, 2009 Well, it made it! Just as nice IRL as in the pics. Not a mark on the tin or watch, all books and proof of purchase card from Embassy Jewel AG, Luzern. I just finished puting a new battery (SR920SW) in her and it's a very well made piece. Lovely screw back, screw down crown, water proof to 10ATM! The ETA MVT is one hell of a nice quartz MVT, all steel, gold plated too. When I get a camera good enough I'll take a shot with the back off. Not bad for 25USD! Col.

trailboss99 994 Posted September 1, 2009 I thought we were gonna see "Camel toes"? Damn. Nice find, by the way. Yep, I'm wraped. A truly great quartz watch built, as I found out today under licence by Panerai no less. Who would have thought a quartz from the Pam factory? That, at least, explains the quality of the case structure and strap. With the solid extension on the band where the Camel logo is it only just fits my skinny wrists but I can just pull it off. After wearing it last night post battery replacment I wore it to bed. Aiiieeee! My eyes! I kid you not, the glow reflected off the wall beside the bed. C3 I suspect. I realy did not expect this kind of quality from a "Event brand" watch but when you think about it the competitors wear these during the challenge so they must be good. I'd be happy to wear this 'un in any daytime gathering, yacht club, country club, where ever it would stand it's own. Happy? Hell yes! Damn it's good to have a win! Col.

landwomble 0 Posted September 20, 2009 any interest in this? Found it in my loft: I last wore it in around 1990 I think. Wondering if it was worth getting a new battery put in it, but open to offers as I want to top up the paypal account to pay for a Jackson Tsei PAM rep without my other half noticing!
