Gents, At long last, my 288k from Lay arrived today. First off, let me tell you about my experience with Lay. Lay was exceptionally responsive via email as well as his online chat app both pre and post sales. He answered every question quickly and honestly, and sent me QC pics as well as a youtube video demonstrating test results for my watch. I can't recommend Lay enough, I will be buying from him again as soon as possible. The watch is gorgeous, check my lame pics of the unwrapping below. Sadly, the included strap is too short. I got the croc calf- easily the best rep strap I've ever seen. Now for the horror story. So I tried the 288 on with the croc. Decided to change straps... ....and dropped a screw. To say my heart stopped as I gazed down at the plush rug below me would be an understatement. I remembered after much wailing and gnashing of teeth that I have an exceptionally powerful bulk eraser in my IT arsenal. I'm happy to report that the magnet dragged the screw out of the rug, and the watch is now wearable again! If you're on the fence about the 288k, don't wait - do this. Love the piece. If you'll excuse me, I need to go strap shopping now

Nice! I just got one of these, and am in love as well.

Thanks sub..my 288 is at the PO waiting for me! Pics tomorrow!!!!

Thanks Pete, I've wanted to see something like this for quite some time.

Hey guys, Eagerly awaiting my very own 288 (USPS says Inbound International Arrival, March 15, 2011, 10:12 pm, ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)). While I wait impatiently, can someone tell me if the new deployant delivered with this piece has the inside of the buckle engraved with the smaller "Panerai" anti-counterfeiting script. Pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! M

Very nice! Can you tell us what the price point for this strap was? Thanks!!

Consider this a ringing endorsement of Orloff's work. Easily the nicest strap I've owned. Aggressively priced, excellent communication & customer service, and unparalleled quality.

That's all kinds of awesome. Mine is inbound Wear it well!

$268 shipped.

Hey guys, Can you please take a look at these and tell me if you think the piece is ok? Thanks!!!

I'm another devotee of the 'bells. Dropped 80 lbs on a kettlebell program (coupled with diet and cardio). Compared to my other workout routines, this feels more like "usable" strength results - it helps in your daily activities. Best of luck! PS - chalk your hands. I had to do some drywall repair when starting out due to this oversight.

Yeah it was the notch I was talking about. Apparently the "G" had it, so all is outstanding. More pics:

lol you'd hope so, eh mate? I got my answer all, btw - that flat spot is on the G models. I'll post up my pics with this beast on the JV when it arrives. Thanks again Amstaff.

First off, thanks to Amstaff for a great transaction. This was my 1st trade dealing with shipping in and out of Germany, and he made it a breeze. Do not hesitate to do business with him, he's 1st class. So here's the deal - loving the watch, but there's this odd flat spot on the case between the lugs. My gen 111 doesn't have this, is this how all the 114 gens are? If not, guess I'm gonna be in the modding game soon! Check the pics below for details.

Guys, Can someone please link me or provide the item code for the latest 288k from the cartel? I don't want to bungle it up and get the prior version Thanks in advance!

That's exactly the look I want for this piece. I'll post before and afters as I progress.

Gen 111

I have an old Breitling SOP that has seen some serious action, and would like to refurb it to a near perfect state. I've tried brushing it myself, and don't care for the results. Can you guys point a noob to the right place and advise on your experiences and estimated costs for the service? Thanks!!

Hey guys, I have a 232 I'm on the fence about. I got it from DSN, and it's a nice piece but I think if I can't move it I may want to improve it. Is it possible to get a case set from the Cartel without buying the whole watch? The distance the crown is from the case on this piece is also a point of aggravation for me. Is it possible to get that closer by trimming the tube? Do you guys have a modder that you'd recommend specifically for this task? Thanks in advance!

Exactly what I needed. I love you guys.

Lobster, I'm in VT.

Anyone have a source for good quality NATO straps that come in more exotic colors? My wife wants a pink, etc for spring. Nothing like a hot chick in a PAM, eh?
