I ordered graphite dial Skyland Avenger, from Joshua /Perfect Clones, the H-factory remake of their V2 from 2008, I suppose. Some things were corrected, like superlume. There are several excellent reviews of Noob and H-factory versions of this watch so I found it matured rep project and decided to make that little departure from my usual Panerai gusto. I allowed myself to put all pros and cons in one table: More details: - I got the watch on Pro-2 SS bracelet with additional croco print walnut strap with rep Breitling buckle - the AR is very nice - it is very easy to hold the watch in such a way where sapphire totally "disappears". - it is my first rep with A7750 where chrono minute totalizer advances exactly at the right moment! - I love matte grey dial! I don't think black one is right for this watch - too much contrast and it hurts eyes, I suppose… - the softly embossed hour digits (gen and Noob have it sharp embossed) - are not a problem, You need to inspect it closely to spot this flaw. Bracelet: - quite well executed with some weak points - it's easy to call it "rep" for these awful bolts for bracelet length regulation - bolts are biggest tell, there are not "almost-flat", they are different to each other - heads shapes are all over the place. Only ONE bolt is correct to the gen, as you will see that on the video. - when you adjust clasp elements a bit, it starts to close with a nice, powerful click - correct markings with production date set to year 2007 - need additional polishing (few minutes with CapeCod polish will do) since edges had some glue(?) residues Leather strap: - nice quality, probably one of the best rep straps - nice printed croco pattern - all correct markings apart from the stamp "Cuir Veritable" where "Croco Veritable" would be correct, since the strap has croco pattern. It is a matter of personal taste, but I would suggest to buy this watch with a nice rep strap instead of a bracelet which is awful light reflecting thing, way beyond my taste :/ Even in gen. The bracelet "eats" the watch while nice strap works particularly well. No mentioning metal parts scratch everything (i.e. caseback) and get scratches and swirls from everything, too. Ordering this watch with a strap has an additional benefit of avoiding scratches between lugs - inevitable thing during the process of bracelet installation, especially in rep-factory Short advice - skip the bracelet Some photos: Photos from QC procedure: Overall, I am VERY impressed by this watch. Visited local AD, the gens are not more impressive than this, really. Skipping the bracelet, of course Lume is OK, since it is Luminova but You cannot expect too much with these small points and tiny hands. It is not Panerai's "demolish them with lume" thing, not at all. Little HD showcase: [/media]

I suspect he will get banned at some future point in time, not because of this remark, but for his attitude, which certainly shows a lack of courtesy, Here is someone who has been here for a whopping one week with 6 posts and he is calling folks, who have been here for a whole lot longer and who have made meaningful contributions to the forum, retards? Im sure with an attitude of disrespect like this, he's not going to be around long!

This one for today!

Correct gen crown R got this one from another member, absolutely love this one! Looks killer on the nato too will get a pic asap!

This one, now on black pvd nato ...love that custom bb aero

Oopps ! i forgot to include a wrist shot ! so here it is ! i dont have one for the speedy though!

Yes i think so too for this build as you say a watch with a different flavor suites with the brandy harley insert which compliments the guilt dial nicely mabe i should call it THE BROWN BAY or THE BRANDY BAY !

Go for it TeeJay. Thanks for the kind words.

It's kind of silly to talk about the popular vote since that's not the way we elect our President. Certain areas of the Country, i.e the bible belt and the farm belt are going to always be highly Republican because of the guns, God, and religion aspect. It's not going to change any time soon. But the people that have actually elected the president have spoken rather strongly that the less educated areas of our Country are not going to win any time soon unless they change either their attitude or our attitudes as a Country. That's unlikely. I found this rather amusing and just might have a touch of truth. Not meant to be offensive but hopefully interesting and kind of funny to some. Dear Red States: We're ticked off at your Neanderthal attitudes and politics and we've decided we're leaving. We in New York intend to form our own country and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the rest of the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of The Enlightened States of America (E.S.A). To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren. You get Bobby Jindal and Todd Akin. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90% of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the US low sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs, 92% of all US mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you. 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties. We're taking the good weed too. You can have that crap they grow in Mexico. Sincerely, Citizen of the Enlightened States of America

Looking goooooood :tu: Kudos on a First Rate build. I love the look of the Black Bay, but did think that the red insert might make the watch less than subtle, so to see that with the brandy insert, the different flavor certainly gives a very casual and subtle result

Nothing brings man together like the arbitrary and divisive (also constructed and unnatural) political dichotomy of the United States of America Where ideology and cash rule the former land of opportunity

You're the dude alright...the MBK AP ROO and PP nautilus did it for me. Nice.

Wow

Man after my own heart! Just one or two more Pams and you're there... So the big question; favourite? And a not so big question; thoughts on the Nautilus? S

Lovely collection the dude, fantastic variation and great taste, wear the hell outta them

How's the movement on that 3714? And amazing collections, classy!

Hambone, I apologize for being a little hard and maybe rude. Guess I didn't see the humor. But I see above your avatar, "Humorless, but smells funny". Now it makes sense. JK. I realize that usually nothing good comes from these discussions other than a chance to rant a little and practice arguing since I seem to lose all of them around my house. I'm sure you're right, The human race will destroy ourselves. I just don't think it will either happen in the next 4 years nor will it be Obama's fault. But, I could be wrong.

Very nice Nanuq....here's another one worth watching. The speech Is by Charlie Chaplin from 1940 .

I'm actually one of those silly Independents that care more about the man or women who represents the party than the party Itself. I voted for Obamma In 08 and I have not been Impreseed to say the least. But I won't blame him for the eight years of the Bush administration. I don't usally like to engage In these types of threads. People are going to disagree and things can and do get quite nasty. Michelle Obamma In 08 said that "This was the first time In her adult life that she has been proud of America". I guess those 200 plus years that came before can't compare to the election of your husband. It was one of the most disgusting things I have ever heard. But are first lady wasn't done with her anti American [censored] talking. There was this Veterans ceremony where the vets were folding a flag over a caset In honor of the many Americans who faught and died to keep this country free. There were bagpipes playing In the background. It was trully a beautiful occasion for Americans to take pride In their country and those who gave so much to keep her free. This video has been examined by some of the best lip readers and forensic speech pathologist In the world. As far as I know all these people agreed with the vile garbage that came out of her mouth. Now thats one classy first lady. She said..:all this for a dam flag" while her husband the president smiled In agreement. Watch the video and draw your own conclusions. These are the people that Americans have chosen to run the country. Sounds good to me. I don't think Michille understands that if not for these brave people there might not be a United States Of America. Or she dosen't give a [censored]. You can clearly see the hate and disgust on her face It was either Obamma or Romney. This was the very best this country had to offer It's people. We are trully [censored] as a nation. Have fun. Mike

First, I want to thank the community for answering all of my noob questions and welcoming me to the forum. I have bought and sold about 35 watches or so in the short time I've been here and am building quite the collection of keepers. Stay tuned for NBFAN Part Deuce coming soon! After many many hours of eagerly pressing refresh on the sales forums I have found myself lucky enough to have 3 WM9 watches. I am so proud to have these and just wanted to share some photos with you guys. Both Subs are v2 and one has rehaut engraved while the other does not. I am converting one of these into a franky LV so stay tuned... Shall I put the gen LV insert and Maxi dial on the one with or without rehaut engraving? These are about to be off to Bk for gen xtals, crowns and an LV convertion...After that probably off to G Thanks for stopping by...Here are some piTures for Y'all... :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:
