Thanks for confirming Pity about pearl but there MUST be a fix, those quarter hour markers come loose don't they? Hmmmm. Oh and as for strap options, try a BOB (gator or calf), superb straps and superb prices

I miss Eddie and his always amusing observations UB7, as for your movt question, youre talking about a trained watchmaker putting together transfer gearing moving the 12 o'clock subdial to the 3'clock position. Not ideal. The Zigmeister use to do this I believe but has stopped due to unreliability/parts etc. But even then it won't suit a gen dial as the subdial spacing is way off, same problem with all 3-6-9 tricompax chrono reps. Best bet is either a DW 'mystery' movt, or try sourcing old Valjoux chrono movts, the 23 and 72 if I'm not mistaken (i'm not a Daytona fan, but those numbers ring a bell). As Offshore said, don't waste your money on 'waterproofing', and especially not on a chrono as pushers are always the weak link.

I have a spare GMT bezel and insert I'm reasonably certain came with my old departed TW GMT. PM me with exact measurements just to be sure and I will check. p.s. it's a 2893 movt

I much prefer the Blackbird on leather, the gen's bracelet looks just horrible, all those links, cheap and nasty. I don't like the chainmail-style at all The only Breit bracelet I like is the Professional II, much more classic and substantial - comes with the new Avenger and SOSF.

Link not working, maybe post item no.? Is it like THIS one? Also, to answer your question, would help to know what the "job" is

Thanks Lanikai, glad you found the direct upload feature Sweet sweet watch, wear it well, but damn damn that pearl, the fly in the ointment, the turd in the shallow end etc. Everything else is perfect I tried on the gen just this morning (

Already put that that one up there TT, a classic and like all classics, far too short a life span Nanuq, do you think you may have my favourite "Crazee Sale Man" stored anywhere for posterity perhaps? Another I recall, animated stick figure at keyboard, typing away, gets slightly frustrated then ends up beating his bloody stumps of limbs and head against the keyboard. One for Monday mornings.

Since my earlier post of the delectable Ms Klum, I have to say I've yet to see any further conclusive evidence that "yes girls CAN wear Panerai". Wives/GF wrist shots excepted (purely out of courtesy), but really Nicole Kidman? I think not. Would give her a Colles fracture for starters. That blonde in the suit? Nah, looks very wrong. Heidi just sets an impossible standard - and vbarrett, you really believe it's a fantasy PAM???

Just in case, direct upload feature

Why not just upload the pics directly??? C'mon show us the damn pics already, I've been waiting for this especially given the 'pearl' issue

Thanks V dluddy - that would be why I didn't see them, I'm fairly non-promiscuous in that RWG is my 'wife' board, with TRC my occasional 'mistress'. I tread not elsewhere.

Was that not one of TwoTone's? Whoever, I preferred the earlier one.... Speedy's I mentioned earlier.... Also something mesmerising about this although it might have been a sig...

Sorry am I missing something because I can't see any 50% voucher/code anywhere?

This is what the the superdome T39 looks like installed - after 3 years I still can't take my eyes of it And a distortion shot for Stephane

I'll second that...$350?! Cousins supply a sealed (not loose pack) Unitas 6497 for under

Nothing flashy but the two I most remember chuckling at were: Nanuq's evil alter ego "Crazeee Pam Sale Man" (actually Bob with a marker pen beard but sssshhhhhh ) Admin's little chihuahua Oh and I forget the longtime member (name escapes me) who always had very amusing animated ones, such as the little Bedford van 'running' down the road on two wheels *edit* as for 'babe' pics, must admit I always notice Verbal's posts

VB, your AP T3 wristshot looks much more tasteful and elegant than all your other wristies put together. Any guesses why, what the differentiating factor is here? It ain't the brutally ugly styling of the watch..... And so as if to further hammer home both that point and also answer your original question being "is it ok for girls to wear Panerai?", I present the following unequivocal evidence... _________________________________________________________________

Sorry TWP, but I have to say the ONLY problems I've ever had with items inbound here to the UK, have come from the US. Customs labels marked "gift"? Opened. And taxed. Several times. Fair enough if legit high value items, where the exchange rate allows for for it anyway, although I've had many items delivered from Japan (Sony stuff mainly) without any problem whatsoever. Every package almost without exception has been Customs-delayed. But the last US straw for me was ordering a Hirsch strap from the FK sale....$35, which according to some convenient understeer on the

What, a whole FOUR days? Assuming you spoke to him prior to making the transaction? So not quite sure what news are you expecting? Tracking number? Daily update of crown's journey from his country to yours? Patience I feel is the word most appropriate here

Yes you It's not difficult just pop the bracelet off using the lugholes the springbars sit in. Ten second job. That caseback is different to the previous Thai cases, so obviously some of us would like to verify if the case remains unchanged

Can you post your source for these specs please, I need some info on a T116 and T19 amongst others. Thanks

You could try the gen rubber, should not be that expensive from an AD, although the red stitch you have there is a good match. Can you just not make more tongue holes in the rep rubber strap though? Must admit I've never heard someone say a rubber strap is too large It's a nice watch but IMO it's not even the most flawless and impressive Tag never mind rep in general. Sorry, what can I say, the Aquaracer is in a different league quality-wise.

Well you have a better eye than I. You can honestly spot that a mile off on tiny hands? Without a loupe? Really? IMO the main visible (naked eye) difference between new gen hands and reps is simply the lume. Comparing WG and polished SS on say a DD president bracelet, is another matter. WG has a distinctive difference in colour.

Pug, as an interim (I'm assuming your 'greenie' is for play rather than serious modding), you could always try one of your preferred dealers to see if they can get you this rep insert with correct fonts? Sure it's metal but at least you know it will fit.
