great looking shoes for your panerai!

from whom did you buy these from? please share.

i've stopped wearing my rolex reps just because of the assumptions people make ... is that real? and partly because the money perception thing. i switched over to panerai - 111 and 127 models ... simple clean lines but BigA$$ watches.

when you go back to the shoe cobbler with your timex update us if his reaction is different to you weather you have the rolex or timex on. will that be the timex ironman digital?

i'll join in with my Pam 029 on gorrila strap

i like to wear french cuffs dress shirts when wearing a suit. i always try to coordinate my accessories, watch, cufflinks, writing pen etc. curious if members here take the time to coordinate accessories when wearing french cuffs.

oh by the way, what type of watch would you wear with french cuffs, more dress like Patek, larger dial like a pam fiddy or 111? rolex dj, explorer II, sub?

i tried it with my custom fiddy and blue mother of pearl cufflinks:

input/feedback?

nice pair of leather sandals no socks

In the US at least, I still think Button Downs work although I agree with Ubi and reserve mine, mostly for dressed down attire with jeans. I have always preferred the english tab collar on my dress shirts or the hidden button underneath the collar.

i wear button shirts on casual fridays. much like dluddy, i prefer tab collar shirts and ones with hidden button down under the collar

heavy starch and folded from the cleaners. its easier to pack for business travel. love the crispness and look!

truly a collaboration that resulted into a piece of art!

congratulations and enjoy the your grail 196!

Hey Pam fans! I've never owned a Panerai and really didn't think I would as I love the Omegas and Ebels I have. But I'm looking to branch out and like the look and size of some of the Panerais (is that the plural version?). In particular, I'm looking at this as an one:

What do you think, is this a good place to start?

I notice none of the Pams have "double AR." Does that mean it's a good idea to get Chief's AR on any Pam, or do they not need it?

I love the look of the bracelet. How does it hold up?

Thanks for your help!

steve:

perfect clones/joshua offerings are a great place to start your panerai collection. i was never a panerai brand/model fan until i saw them at a local AD. i will warn you once you go down the panerai slope there will be no turning back. you will want a 111h, 127/Fiddy, a submersible, destro (crown on the left side of case), a gmt.

i have a pam90 on bracelet and love it. it is a substantial looking watch. however the Fiddy or 127 on bracelet is a monster at 47mm.

oh by the way, panerai enthusiats also go bonkers with straps, modifications, crown, crown guard, lume, buckles, homage dials, customization dials and all the fine scrutiny of how we want our reps to look like the gen.

good luck ... i went done the panerai slope last november and now have 6 pams (111, 212, 90, 232, 2 fiddys), custom painted dials, logo cufflinks, 10+ straps and a whole assortment of buckles

here's a pic of my 111 customized for a NYC tribute dial on light tan buffalo leather strap

post pics of your panerai once you get it!

His web site sucks, though! No pricing info and you cant purchase directly from the site!

congratulations! your 312 is just stunning, hot, sexy, seductive, and sultry!

@hike and wayward ... your avatars are hot too!

Did you purchase this already?

From what I can tell the Date wheel is sunken in which should not be the case with the 7753. Also can you change the date with the push button at 10 o'clock on the side of the case?

Thanks

thanks all for the advice and suggestions.

@paneristi ... perfect clones as in joshua? homer as the homer on this forum?

@astrograph ... i've dealt with tony at watcheden before but for branded rolex. no dealings with pt (is that precious time) or silix; will check out www.jacksontse.com for their offerings.

@blackbard ... sending you PM

well you wont be getting a really goooood 6497 movt. but it'll do! it'll be the asian version (which has the more expensive shock)

umm watcheden, pt, sillix most of these dealers will carry pam models....

BUT since you asked for a 47mm sterile dial..... check this out http://www.jacksontse.com/

BOOM! how'd you like thatttt!

example

thanks! that's great as long as i get the watch with the reflection of the camera and photograher with it

anyone know a good /reputable website where i can purchase sterile/hommage 47mm / 44mm PAM style watches

looking/wanting to buy sterile 47mm pam style watch for use on a custom dial project. not looking to spend alot of $$$ (under $125.00) but would like to have a decent/good 6497 movement in it. on google DSN sells sterile PAM watches but i am not looking to spend that amount of $$$.

anyone ever buy sterile/hommage PAM watches from the guy on pmwf? think the seller is militaryman or something like that? how good and reliable are those?

thanks for in advance for information and suggestions.

I would say a quality one for a special custom piece like this, a Gef or a custom v strap. May i ask what the dial painting cost?

sent you a pm

Navy leather strap with orange stitching?

Looking good so far though

Have you thought about doing different lumes on markers to reflect the different colours on the dial next to them?

thanks for the suggestion on what type of strap. the lume was going to be a GX3 orange but has been changed to a GX white lume.

come on fellas other suggestions as to leather strap to compliment this 111/nyc sunset dial!

Wow!!!!!! This is incredible! You hand painted this?!

Truely amazing, and absolutely inspiring.

What lume colour did you decide on for the hands? I'm not sure orange would be the best match for these?

thank you. i cannot take credit for the artwork, i commissioned an artist that specializes on custom dial work. see other works of the artist here: www.painteddials.com.

these are the first preview pics and i may change out the original color lume to a white GX3 instrad of the orange for better contrast.

will post completed PAM111 NYC watch once all complete.

****taking suggestions for what type of leather strap or bracelet shouldbe used.

my fantasy sausage 111 dial will soon transform to a 111 sandwich dial of the skyline of new york city. new york city is one of my favorite cities in the world one that has great significance to me. i lived in manhattan for 12 years, worked at the world financial center and commuted every day through the world trade center.

artwork inspiration of NYC skyline scence used for the 111 transformation

nyc has great significance to me as i lived in manhattan for 12 years, worked at the world financial center and commuted every day through the world trade center.

first preview pictures of my soon to be completed transformed 111 sausage dial -- lume will be GX3 orange (to glow like a torch)

now i need to figure out what strap to mount on this 111 NYC dial watch. any suggests - bracelet or leather?

i hope you all enjoyed my 111 transformer preview -- comments on the watch dial and strap/bracelet suggestions welcome.

I have a set of Calloway X20 which are a nice set of irons but I need a good Driver so was looking on Ebay and there are a few FT-iq which are obv reps.

The Gen costs $500 and the rep about 1/2

so any one know a good source/website?

try:

www.tgw.com

www.golfsmith.com

thanks oncyte; that is exactly my situation.

alas, i will just have to be content with using leather straps and the rubber strap it came with. maybe a good waterproof leather?

i purchased a pam029 on rubber strap from a member on another board. my problem is i want the look of the 029 to be on bracelet but cannot get the standard rep bracelet i have to fit my 029. no matter how i try i cannot align the lug holes to the bracelet to get in the pin screw.

am i to be resolved that my 029 is not destined to be on a bracelet but just on the rubber strap and/or leather straps?

excuse this rudimentary questions and the naivete of my thought process. don't really get on the forum much.

thanks in advance.

have not been around lately but wanted to share my latest project.

i bought my first pam from a dealer on the RG. it is / was a 111 fantasy white dial seen here

i now say "was" because in several weeks it will take on a totally different look. i have corrodinated with a very talented artist for a custom dial using one of the selections below. the artist's website can be found here: www.painteddials.com the watch itself will also get a complete overall - regulated, dial marker lumed, hands lumed for me to complete the transformation and look.

i've worked and corresponded with the artist for the the selection of artwork and it can be one of these. my criterion for art selection is it has to have had some impact to my life or things i've done. so here are the possibilities for my custom dial:

A. milky way: cosmic and mysterious

B. NYC because i lived, worked and partied in manhattan for 12 years ... i am surprised and glad that i am not dead yet.

C. another cosmic entry - Pleiades

From my homeland province in the Philippines Mt. Mayon Volcano

once the project is completed i'll post pics of what will be a one of a kind custom pam111 for yours truely!!! what do you all think?

thanks for the comments.

both are my favorites.

i've played golf at pebble beach several times and the lone cypress jutting out into the pacific really cool looking.

the atlas sculpture in nyc on 5th ave is one of my favorite things about new york.

i'll post pics of the final custom dial for my 111 when the project is done.

hello everyone ... been awile since i was here. anyways there is member on another forum that does custom dials especially pam dials. the individuals work can be found here: http://www.painteddials.com/documents/45.html

i have a beater 111 fantasy white dial that i am having this member do a custom dial. problem is i cannot decide on the artwork to be used. can you all help me choose.

here's the watch:

these are the artwork selections ...

1. sunset

2. atlas holding the world

3. lone cypress at pebble beach, ca (one of my favorite golf destinations)

4. nyc collage nyc played a big part of my life for 12 years so maybe this
