A trip down memory lane...

Recommended Posts

BP PO orange 42mm. I still have one, my "beater". Someone look closely and tell me why I sold this one...

second hand shouldn't be white tip

correct, it in fact had no paint on it all.

 

not that dipping one's tip in red is for everyone. . . :boobies:

 

true!

Ok, some PAMs

 

The 111h. just about everything is wrong with this one, (ALE's head would explode) but it was the best we had without spending $1200 (more on that later).

this was Sead's "modded" version.

the evolution of the 111...

 

So you sell the standard 111h and get the DSN version which was a big improvement:

this maybe have been the regular case, with DSN hands and dial.

... but good damn that L Swiss Made L is big, isn't it?

 

so, you decide to spend $250 more (probably already have $400 into the project)to get the Little Hero dial and hands (he sold built watches as well, I think they were $1200)

Let's look at the 127. This was the standard version that was available then. Nice blue AR, sunken cannon pin, grey dial print, etc. etc. and we loved it!

simple fix! spend $300 to get relume, DSN hands, cannon pin fix, AR removal, and viola:

still grey dial print (you could get other dials but I didn't)

 

Compare to the noob 127:

Ain't no memory lane thread like a HD memory lane thread!

Edit: although I would like to see one of these by Noel. I think he would give you a run for your money!

DSN PAM 086, a rarity, Ti, Anthracite dial. Didn't care for it too much, so I sold it to some Canadian:

DSN PAM 172 Tanty Panty. Super cool, super rare, but it didn't stick. They should redo this one (looking at you noob). It would be easy and sell a fuck ton.
