Does anyone know if the twisted dial can be easily straightened? dealer says he'll replace if I can't sort it my end but it would be less hassle if I could get it sorted.

I have just got the black version, unfortunately the dial is twisted, I took the back off to see if there was anything I could do, mine (hers) came apart without having to remove the bracelet, with the 4 screws removed the whole case and movement just drops out leaving the back and bracelet in one piece, I noticed that the movement is Japanese, on the dealers site it says Swiss, is yours Swiss?

I like digitals, but not that one, sorry

P.S I thought you were joking about the airport parking thing

Your picture isn't working, I'm guessing thats what he was talking about...

just checked all his recent feedback, appears he's also bought 2 more and resold those too!

He got a pos feedback for it so it seems the winning bidder did buy it.

Love the simplicity of this model....

I love their creations, and if I won the lottery one of their watches would definately be on my list.

I've only done a bezel insert once, that was sub too, it was held on with thin double sided sticky tape, I think the new insert came with the sticky already on and you just peel the paper off and stick it down, instant fix.

You mean they haven't converted them to USD yet?

"nb. i listed this item previously and it was removed, after several emails with ebay staff i was granted the opportunity to relist my watch. thanking them."

So all you need to do is tell eBay its genuine but I lost the box and papers and they let you list your rep!

I wonder if the guy who won the "Panerai" is the same guy that won the mushrooms

thanks for the thread crapping :-)

... only a very select FEW reps have a correct date font.

and ... i'm gonna add a gen DIA. modded bezel and also BTW a gen strap/bracelet :-)

Why not just buy a used gen?

Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac?

He lay awake at night wondering if there really was a dog.

If you look on eBay also search "russian diver" there's some interesting ones very similar to the UBoats with removeable grill thingy on the front.

There's usually lots of Uboats on eBay, they're not that expensive, not sure if they're reps

He knows its a rep, I contacted him and he didn't even bother to reply.

Been watching these for a while on youtube very funny, they have a site now where you can download them for your mobile, humour might be lost on people not from the UK though, and possibly on people from the UK too, I guess I'm a bit immature

A year or so back I bought 50 Pimp reps from a factory in China, they were identical apart from they had no name, and they'd tweaked the functions a little, which made them actually a bit better than the originals, I sold quite a few on eBay until the original designer put a stop to me I sold all the remaining stock to some guy in Germany, who went on to sell them on eBay

Bit scary how many people got so many things wrong here, I wonder how times a gen Rolex on eBay has been called out as rep and been reported and removed.

@oakland... I'm glad you did a double post as I had trouble reading it the first time, every time I came to the start of the next line I found myself pausing for a while as something on the left kept catching my eye

Good work Holmes old boy!
