Hey mate. Welcome to the forum. I am also from Sydney but unfortunately I dont know any rep friendly watchsmiths just yet. If you find one, I would love to hear about it.

The CG looks ok to me. I am not a specialist and this is my first PAM so I am not the best person to ask this. Fish has also bought this same watch and said that CG was ok but it was pushing on the crown too much so he had to sand it down a little. Overall I am very happy with this watch. The case has a few machining marks on it but I am certain these can be taken care of.

I bought an asian dagger swan neck from Joshua for $248. Its a great watch but keep in mind that the crystal is mineral glass, not sapphire.

Hi Mike. Yes, Joshua's crystal turned out to be mineral and I have managed to put a few scratches in it without even wearing the watch outside the house. The new crystal is currently getting double AR from Jakub so I won't have it back for 3-4 weeks. When it comes back, I will take some pics.

DSN does sell these. I have just purchased one last week. They are now $85 delivered. The csrystal is 3.5mm in thickness, which would sit correctly on a case. There was some talk that DSN's crystals are 3.3mm in thickness but this is not the case (at least not with the crystal that I have bought). I am yet to see whether it will fit Joshua's case but I am pretty certain that it will. I will let you know how I go.

Hi ravishingrick. Thanks for the suggestion. I have just checked with David and the crystal is 3.5mm tall.

Thanks guys. The last few replies have really cleared it up. I am currently ordering a sapphire crystal from DSN. He sells these for $85. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks lanikai. Yes, the crystal has AR. I have been in touch with DSN and he sells sapphire crystals for $85. I am still not 100% sure whether my watch's crystal is sapphire or mineral glass. Whatever it is, I can get a replacement 1 from Joshua for $45. Can anyone confirm what crystal is in this watch? 177H Thanks guys

Thanks Fish. Will give it a go. Toothpaste didnt work

It is definitely a scratch. When I saw it, I spent 5 minutes trying to polish it out with my t-shirt - it is still there. No clue how it happened. I will contact David re sapphire crystal. Would David's crystal fit Joshua's case? I have just looked up Dremel. It seems there are a million different varieties of the unit and accessories. Which accessories would I need? Thanks mate.

Thanks mate. I definitely need to get this. Are some dremmels better than others? Do you use Aluminium mag polish on Glass? By the way, Joshua sells MINERAL GLASS for $45. Is there anyone that sells Sapphire crystals for PAMs at all?

So which crystal is on Joshua's 177H? I presume its a mineral crystal as it got scratched by me wearing it at home without bumping into anything at all. 1. What do I need to buff out the scratches? I dont have a buffing wheel. What else can I do? 2. Where can I buy a sapphire crystal for 44mm PAM? Thanks guys

Thanks for the above replies guys. I remember seeing "Synthetic Sapphire Crystal" description when I was buying the watch and did a bit of reading about it at that point crystals The conclusion that I made was that this watch is indeed fitted with a Sapphire crystal, not a mineral one. Obviously, I was wrong. Is is possible to buy a Sapphire Crystal for a 44mm PAM? Thank you.

Hi fellas, I have bought my first replica from Joshua 2 weeks ago (PAM177H) and last night I have discovered 2 scratches on the crystal. I am sure these weren't there when I first received the watch so it

Just go with Joshua regardless. I bought the 177H from him 2 weeks ago and I am happy with it.

Hey fellas. Just a quick one - I have been trying to find a 24mm Pre-V buckle with Panerai engraving. So far they only ones that meet the criteria are the standard buckles that come with every replica Panerai from the factory. These aren't great and I want to find something a little better. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hey Prof. I actually bought a Navitimer from Joshua along with the PAM. There doesnt seem to be whole lot left to be researched about Breitlings as there are 2 or 3 really good guides already pinned in the Breitling section. The Navi (42mm) that I bought turned out to be way too small for my wrist so I am returning it and getting a Navi World instead. Navi World is not the best replica out there but I can live with its imperfections. Looking forward to receiving this one.

Thanks for the kind words, guys I did do a bit of reading and Fish held my hand throughout the way. My 177H from Joshua is stunning - it has a few imperfections on the case and the crown is SS but overall it looks real nice. I don

Hi fellas. Thought I would chime in and offer some advice for replica newbies like myself. I have been lurking around collecting all the info I could get my hands on and digesting it all before committing to making my first purchase. As I was getting my bearings, Fish (Bernd) has been able to point me in all the right directions and I am thankful for all his advice. Now maybe I can repay the favour and speed up the learning curve for those who are thinking of getting their first PAM replica 1. Do not pay over $300 for an unmodded replica. There are countless sites on the net, who offer A+++ grade replicas for $580 - $1200. The make it sound like their replicas are the only way to go and many people believe them
