    I've been told by Davison that he no longer has any more 127's. Is there another dealer that you guys can recommend that will have his qulity? Thanks and this is a great thread.

    Pam 127's are hard to find right now Jb has a very nice one for sale for $600.00

  11. Not Another Strap Inquiry

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted

    Whoa, too much choice !! :) I liked the black coramid one On Josh Harlett's wrist.. but close up that strap doesn't suit me.. If there is a black leather version of this strap, I may get that one..

    Otherwise, this is the other strap that caught my eye... i think its a strap culture strap.. i think its a SC HM Legend II $109US with a 15% discount.. Looks crazy thick !

    I like the tone of leather (brown with the white/grey stitching..) is there a strap like this that isn't so thick ? I like soft leather and my wrists are small 6.6", so what's the appropriate length.. I assume it may differ depending on how think the strap is ! This one comes in 135/90mm which sounds big, but appropriate for a strap of this thickness??

    WOW that strap looks great I love the look thickness of it. I can't wait to get my Rep to put a nice thick band on it

    Victoria Once again your post is great the Rep and the Gen look very close! I can live with the skinny crown that does not bug me at all. I just hope the watch keeps good time and I have a WINNER! I am so excited! I actaully bookmarked the thread that Kenmasters did about straps and have some good ideas. Well I E-mailed andrew with a few questions and I am sure he will get back to me asap. I have been searching his site a lot and it seems he gets RAVE reviews when it comes to customer service and people say that he responds very quickly. As soon as I speak with him I will make the purchase on the 000 Logo.

    Did I say that I am so EXCITED!

    Victoria thanks a lot for your very helpful post. Your watch that you posted with the sunglasses looks amazing. Thanks a lot for posting the link to Andrew / Trusty he has a lot of options that look very good. I have been searching his site for a while now and you wrote

    EDIT: I say, if you want Automatics (which I do not like), go to Andrew/Trusty:

    http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...f6017aed390da7c

    For your FIRST time, you should have a little peace of mind. If things go wrong, he'll fix them fast.

    And that sounds great to me. As a first time buyer that sounds like a very good option. Peice of mind is great

    I found a 44mm that really caught my eye

    LINK TO THE WATCH

    It's an auto and the crown and protector look great. Your thoughts? I know I know I should buy the best right off the bat but I really cant afford more than $250.00 right now. ALso I would replace the strap asap when I would get it.

    just note that i've read some folks who have the mineral glass one and it shatters/explodes (not like a bomb :p )

    there've been some cases where folks have some bumps here and there and the glass breaks. unavoidable if u go for a cheaper end with mineral glass.

    a good 127 with good lume & mods and i think sapphire????? goes for ~ 400?

    i cant remember, i havent checked 127 prices lately.

    the second one from silex looks a lot better - the crown 10x better than t he previous one.

    I hear ya, I think that $400.00 is alot to put into my first Rep. I know that I am going to love this stuff because I can have my dream watch for a fraction of the price, but I just want to make a smart first purchase. I have been GLUED to this site since I have signed up it's great I am learning so much. Ok how does this one look? Im I getting annotying yet? :p

    http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1485

    This watch seems to have what I am looking for

    MOVEMENT： Automatic 21j Asian Movement

    PRICE： 80USD

    AVAILABILITY： Yes

    DETAIL： Dimension: 44mm x 51mm x 12mm

    Movement: Automatic Chinese movement

    Dial: Black with power reserve meter

    Bezel: Stainless steel

    Case: Stainless steel

    Strap: Black leather strap

    Glass: Mineral crystal with anti-scratch coating

    Waterproof/Water-resistant:Yes

    I cannot believe the price is only $80.00 does it look bad? 80.00 seems very cheap! Does anyone have this watch?

    How does that look for a first Rep watch>? The crown and protector look weak to me but for $80.00 can't really be beat.

    I would go for the second from silix, firstly i doupt that the molnija movement is still available and the second one is more accurate, and i belive it has saphirre and not plexi, please do a search about "exploding fiddys" before you jump, As i say to all new members spend some time before you spend your cash!

    And welcome

    Thanks a lot I am looking into this. It seems that there is a lot of stress on the big glass and they seem to break. Pretty scary! I really want to find a Auomatic 47mm but it seems that they are only made in 44mm So mabe I should make my first purchase a 44mm Auto? This sound a little better than jumping into a Fiddy. I really like a BIG watch but I think that a 44mm is still rpetty big.

    First few threads:

    - Paul's Shipping Seized at Customs

    Why Doesn't He Listen...

    - Paul

    chronology Part II

    - Wrong Band / Bracelet

    - Paul delivered a different watch

    - Paul

    chronology Part I

    - Big problems with Paul @ wo-mart PAM111

    Thanks that is the same link that Victoria posted above. $600.00 is a little much for my first Replica watch but that Fiddy is so beautiful :D I was thinking about this one from pam111 for my first rep.

    "Fiddy" Pam 127 3rd EDITION

    W1684-6.jpg

    Like said above the Fiddys seem very hard to find right now and I would like to get my hands on one while I can, for a nice price. Does the watch in the link look like a good starting watch? It's beautiful to me :lol:

    Ok I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but it states in your avatar that you joined this board only 40 minutes before making this post and that I'm afraid does not allow much time for searching the board.

    When I first came to the rep scene my first purchase came after reading for hours everyday for two weeks, needless to say I have never bought a watch that I was unhappy with.

    At the end of the day no one can tell you where or who to buy from that needs to be your decision derived from your own research, everything you need to know is here on this board all you need to do is read it.

    Welcome to RWG

    Ken

    Nope not harsh it took me a little bit to understand how this forum works but I am getting the hang of it.
