rolli Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 here is the pam 2533 vintage - an italian temptation, basic vintage pam with rolex dial from andrew. dial and hands from davidsen - reworked in aged style by me. new brevet crown + tube from davidsen - reworked and also the crown-shape reworked by my watchmaker. new 2,0mm lug wires formed by my watchmaker and fixed with laser-welding-technology by a local company. between the lugs are new thick springbars. -- the basic model has 1,8mm lug wires, 2,0mm is much better for the overall picture -- after finishing the case reworked in aged style and polished again. strap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your recent posts remind of that thread where someone asked us how much our reps would be worth if they were real--now you can truthfully answer "priceless."

Watchmeister Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Absolutely beautiful. Excellent work. You have one of a kind, literally. As I recall there was only one ever made as it was the prototype for the subsequent 3646. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 The vintaging is SUPERB, Rolli. If you ever go into the professional modding business, let me know. I'll get you to do my dial. BTW: This background photo reminds me of Isabella Rosselli, or even Louise Brooks. One of those strangely modern-faced types, who look best in mannish clothes.

rolli Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 hi m, the vintage database gives you many inspirations and new ideas for the vintage work. but you have to study the details and this several times before you get a trained eye. normally to copy a authenticity is not so easy. you need a very good taste for " less is more " rolli a true vintage look...
