Thanks for the info.

Thanks Victoria! I have to thank all of you guys for the help. I certainly wouldn't have been able to figure my way through it all without your help.

Will as soon as she get's here. I'll post some pics when it does. My first rep!!!

Hey, Unfortunately, I'm already a WIS. So I've pretty much have had xxx itis... zooms

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Thanks for the clarification. I feel like I'm in intro to Greek.

Guys what do you think about this deal??? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Thanks in advance. - 0117 case - The Zigmeister fitted Davidsen AR coated sapphire - Swan neck Swiss Unitas movement with the proper dagger shaped needle. - Refitted and moded crown guard so the lever closes tight. - Relume job. - Strapculture strap. $450 USD.

Ok, if they don't have any more E movements and the H doesn't exist (per Sali ^^^). Then what? Neither exists anymore???

Ok, does anyone know where I can get Panerai dials period? I'm sort of looking for a sandwhich dial. Or any Panerai part for that matter. Thanks in advance.

??? Then why does TWR have an add on the sale section stating that he's got one for sale??? This rep world keeps getting more confusing by the minute.

Is The Zigmeister on the dealer's section? Also, from what I understand he just does re-lumes only? No upgrades other than that? Thanks again.

So what's the difference between the PAM 127E and the PAM 127H?

Thanks for the info and the pic. Your Fiddy does seem to have pretty good lume for one that hasn't had the re-lume done to it. Nice!

Thanks for the info! Wow, that is a nice one. What's the specs on it? And why do you say that you don't need the ultimate? Is the difference in cost not worth it? Please explain. Thanks.

Like you I'm finding it difficult to get straight answers from the dealers. I don't know if it's because they're overloaded or due to the language barrier, but I get more confused each day. I guess the rep world is more complicated than I had imagined.

Regarding Ultimate Fiddy's... Davidson is out of them TWR seems like he's out of them too Anyone know who else might have the Ultimate "top notch" PAM 127 Fiddy's??? I'm really dying to get one of these, but with all the upgrades. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Zooms

Hey TeeJay, do you have your crown guard on the 127 upside down on purpose?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't tritium in viles only? Meaning watches like Ball/etc.

Really? How old was the watch and was it maintained properly? I've had 30 + year old Omegas (well maintained by Omega in Swiss) that has lume work better than some new watches. If watches are well maintained, properly serviced and seals checked the lume will last decades. Also, some of the older watches have better lume than watches of today since they used the "good" stuff, i.e. radioactive material in their lume.

Thanks for the input everyone. Much appreciated. Yes, noob to the rep scene. Been around in the gen world for years. I'll post pics of my collection when I get around to it. I'm looking into getting into the rep scene as I'm sick of paying $$$$ for the gen and getting them bang'd up everywhere. I guess my question got answered. I want something that will be as close to a gen as possible. I've owned gen PAM 220 & 005 in the past, so I think I'll look into the 111. I've also seen mention of series. Is there a series of rep's that I should be looking into? I've seen something about an "E" series?

^^^ LOL @ vet comment and will add... you sneak up me and you'll get the Ranger chock hold! I've had some experiences like that but a bit different. I've never owned a rep before (will soon though!), but I've owned two gen PAM's, a 005 and a 220, and once I was a Hollywood club/bar and I was at the bar with a couple of buds. This guy comes over and starts to chat me up. I noticed he also had a PAM on, a common thing in LA, and he starts to talk about my PAM and he asks me about my watch. He then asks me if he can see it and try it on. Don't get me wrong, I'm a friendly guy and all, but I usually don't like to hand over a $5k watch to someone I don't know. I was sort of stuck between a wall and a hard place. Of course, I wanted to prove to him that mine was genuine yet was nervous of a stranger touching it. I was sort of contemplating letting him try it on when the lights dimmed at the bar and the black lights went on. That's when I noticed that his watch had NO LUME! lol. I brought my watch up to his face and said that mine's real because, unlike his, the lume worked. Now please, don't get me wrong here. I'm no an a**hole by any means. It's just that this guy was all pushy, in my face and sort of accusing me of wearing a fake when it was really him that was. It was funny because the guy turned red and ran off into the crowd.

I'm in the market for a rep PAM. Something in a 44mm size. Can anyone suggest a model and post pics if you have them? Thanks in advance!

Hey Lifter, Did you find a good dealer here in CONUS? If you don't mind, could you let me know who you decided to purchase from and why? Also, what types of upgrades did you end up getting? Thanks. I found this... http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=1841 It does describe it as being an "ultimate", but I'm not sure if it is. Also, it states that it has a Swiss movement, but how can you be sure? It doesn't state if it has re-lumed dial and hands either, which is very important for what I'm looking for. What do you guys think? Is this a good dealer? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Does anyone know where I can find some dials only with upgraded lume? Thanks in advance.
