Does anyone have a source for extra Panerai branded buckles? Thanks in advance, Brian

On my recent trip to Atlanta, I saw a copy of WatchTime (watchtime.com)in Hudson News. Obviously, I grabbed it and am now a subscriber. This month's edition had a whole bunch of info on Rolex, and a piece about their new facility. Anyone have any other suggestions on horology flavored periodicals?

I own the 111h gen and chose it due to the sandwich dial, and the fact that it's busy enough to look good, but doesn't look like alphabet soup the way some larger watches do.

It's headed back to the dealer, being exchanged for a PO No chrono, hopefully no problem. I'll post up the PO pics as soon as I get it. Thanks for all your support.

I decided to wait to see if it smoothed out, but no improvement. Back to the dealer Maybe I'm not cut out for a chrono...

The dealer's suggestion is rewind and wait 48 more hours.

Guys, My new PAM250 seems to be having more problems than the Jag I had in college. The watch is now losing 15 minutes per day, and the subdial at 6 runs all the time. It resets with the chrono reset pusher, but I'm wondering if that is at all related to the time loss. Overall, very nice looking rep but I'm starting to wonder if I got a lemon. Am I being too picky? Should I ask to return it to the dealer and get another 250, or do you think I'd be better off exchanging for something else that is a non-chrono? Thanks!

The Zigmeister, After letting it wind all the way down then re-winding, I was able to set the time. Next question - is the subdial at 6 supposed to run all of the time? If so, what is that supposed to be an indicator of? Many thanks!

It pulls out 2 steps, and you can see that the hands "want" to move but there is a fair amount of resistance. Is it ok to push through the resistance? Also, if anyone can instruct me on PAM chrono operation (what the buttons do) that'd be great!

Guys, 10 days after ordering, my new Trusty PAM250 came today!. I'm trying to set the time, but am getting MAJOR resistance when trying to turn the crown. What am I doing wrong? I do not want to force it! I currently own a gen 111h, and have no idea on what the right way to handle a PAM chrono is, so your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

What size strap should I buy for a 111h and for the gmt if my wrist is 7 inches? Thanks!

Do the vendors charge more for a safer / faster shipping method than usual? Should I make any special requests of my selected vendors? THANKS!

After waiting several weeks for an international stock sale to go through, I'm finally flush with enough cash to start buying reps! I'll be starting out with the most excellent 063 rep that EL has, as well as a 111h swiss with swan from Trusty. Likely to sample a SS IWC as well. I will also be indulging myself in several straps - bony croc, europelli baseball, etc. Could anyome please be kind enough to give me tips on what to do on using pp with a checking account? Thanks in advance!

Put me down for an 063. I will send payment midweek next week. Thanks!

Noob question - are antimagnetic casebacks and components ever included in reps? I've seen this quality listed in some rep advertisements, and also in some gen specifications.

After browsing some of the dealer pages, I saw a few. The one I stumbled across had a "california dial", but I like the dials pictured above much better. I just may have to grab one of these for fun

I swear I saw a page that someone was selling 3646-esque units ala RXW, but forgot to bookmark it. Does anyone have a url? (or any experience with it?)

Guys, Take a look at the link below and let me know if you think this is the MM20. or a knockoff. Good price, just not sure what one is actually getting for the coin.... http://www.network54.com/Forum/246582/mess...amp%3B+Wood+Box

Guys, Glad to be here, and am learning more every day. Now I'm ready to jump, but on the sage advice of another member will retrain myself and only order 1 rep at a time. I'm thinking either PAM196 or 111. Who has the best/most accurate rep? Which movement should I look for on these items? If anyone owns either, a quick readers digest review would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Solid advice, thanks. I may do 1 PAM and 1 PO. From other posts, it seems as though the TTK PO is being favored these days. What's your take on that? Also, which vendor PAM do you prefer? Thanks in advance!

Yeah, the stock market treated me well this month. I'm long overdue a gift to myself,and am thinking that a few reps beats 1 gen any day.

Thanks for the replies - I didn't mean to say anything negative about you guys, just merely asking questions in the quest for knowledge and enlightment. That said, I'm ordering a PO Orange, PAM164, PAM190, and an undecided IWC shortly. Anyone have any other outstanding reps to suggest?

Guys, Been looking through the posts on the old forum and came across a thread that directed someone here: http://www.replicacenter.com/comparison.php On that site they speak of RWG.CC as "a unique scam which operates by having a few scam artists pretend that it is a message board for replica watch enthusiasts. Instead, they set up fake 'sites' and pretend to be private dealers, scamming anyone who mails in a check or money order." Is there a feud or something that is going on? As a new member here I'm just in search of the truth. So far everything here seems to be on the level, but as I have no knowledge of the history of the boards, thought I'd ask.

Is there an easy way for us to view them in the old context? I'm slurping up the information here as quickly as I can locate it. Also, are you going to deploy a wap portal for the forum for the real hard core junkies like me who live on the road? Thanks!

Hey all! Nice place you have here. I've been a watch nut for ages, and even have a few pieces I've managed to collect over the last few years (Brietling SOP, Seamaster, Jaeger Reverso) and as a result of trolling these boards am now looking to make a few demo replica purchases. I know I want: Omega PO Any PAM other than Sub (man these rock! - I may need two to start) IWC Big Pilot, or an IWC chrono bigger than 39mm One thing I'm noticing on the board is that people aren't real quick to compare the wares from one vendor to another. Is this just an unspoken rule of respect here? I for one would LOVE to see the various models I listed above compared from replica vendor to vendor, as it gives a newb like me a decent frame of reference for moving forward. Anyway, just wanted to say "hi" and introduce myself.
