    Newbie, and Thanks Abraxas ! 56.6 beware !

    Hi to all,

    This is my first post here, after long lurking.
    I am french and live in Dubai, for some obscure reasons...

    I did my first post on the following thread, and had a request from Abraxas...

    http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... sc&start=0

    I had contacts with Sanjay ( Sparmar ) and Martin ( Martbroad ) for some sales before.

    I guess a few pictures worth better than long boring talk.
    Here is a part of my collection.

































    This one is not running now, need restauration, soon...
    :D

    So can I join ? :?:

    Cheers / Pierre

    A very impressive collection, if I may say. Are the hands on this Universal custom painted? It?s one of the watches on my wish list.

    Thanks for the reply,

    I just came back from japan early december ( I lived there 3 years ) and grabbed this one. I think came out in Japan in october.

    Model number PMD56-2971, titanium duratect, WR to 20Bars, GMT hand ( can adjust both GMT or Hour hand separately ), radio controlled ( in japan only though ) and have a inner pilot calculator rotating bezel.

    It's fairly large but wears very low and light...

    The bracelet has two quick adjustment push button on the clasp.

    Here is a link :

    Cheers / Pierre

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the comment.
    My UG has been bought of Ebay 2-3 years ago, and I replaced the shiny polished hands by some omega speedmaster Orange hour and minute hands that I found in Japan.

    The movement is basically the same as the Speedy, except the hour hand rotates once a day, Vs 2 times on the speedy. So the hands fit.
    The small hands and central chrono hand are stock.

    Also I have polished the bezel which was shiny, to make it more tool-looking.

    It's a very nice watch, unique to me, and I wear it quite often. I need to have two time zone quite often.

    Cheers / Pierre

    You?ve done a great job. If anything, the base watch is too shiny for a tool watch but yours look just right.
