  1. Nice brother. Now post some decent pics why don't ya
  2. Congrats. Wow what a beauty!!!! Dave I call dibs .
  3. She's not much of a panerai fan thinks that they all look the same..lol
  4. Thanks guys. Yeah...I agree the 329L is my favourite pam
  5. Haha....just natural daylighting to get a better shot
  6. Please note there is a power reserve indicator on the movement.
  7. Here's a head on shot. The DW is slight recessed.
  8. Thanks man....I needed to replace that GMT
  9. I know the new 329L, 359 etc....reps will be coming out soon. Here's some pics of my gen for reference. Panerai 329L - this one is pretty damn big...can't believe it's only 44mm IMO it wears like a 47mm. Love this watch. 329 next to my SA
  10. Just picked this up yesterday. I'm honestly done for the rest of the year. No more gen purchases for me:). This is one of my favourite daytona besides the white face ss. Mini family pic
  11. I picked this up from my buddy Dave as a partial trade for my gen GMT IIc TT....always loved the watch. Owned 2 reps of this..black and blue. It was a great way of trying out the watch before investing in the real deal. The reps are incredibly close to gen..99% however at the end of the day a gen is a gen . side by side ....the SOH looks huge against the daytona Group shot....but the 305 is beast
  12. Buddy been looking for ya. Let's hook up soon is the basement finished yet? These franken SA are awesome. Heck I'm going to upgrade to VIP
  13. Haha....thanks bud. Honestly I picked up the rep to see what all the hype was about and have to say it's exceeded my expectation but at the end we all know a gen is a gen
  14. Yes the gen SEL is super tight...I'm afraid to switch the ss bracelet to the leather strap.
  15. It's been awhile since I did a review and this one was pretty damn hard. Honestly as I was uploading pics I could not tell which was the rep and gen ...this rep is that good. Thankfully I didn't mod the crown pin as it was a good give away however once this easy mod is done it's going to be a killer. The 236 or 250 (without ss bracelet) is one of my favourite pams. I was fortunate to pick up a gen earlier this year. The version I have is the "i" which I believe was released 2005/6 and the rep (that is being compared) is the "k" version which was released in 2009. The biggest difference from gen "i" and "k" are the following; - the 236i has lug cut outs as seen in this pic - the 236k does not have lug cut outs however it has lug/bar quick snap pusher as seen in this pic - of course the 236i does not have roller lever and the k does Now that we know the differences between the "i" and "k" let's move on to the comparison between the REP "k" version vs. the GEN "i" version. Please note the gen is always on the left and rep is on the right. Looks pretty close...2 very minor items 1) the lever pin on the rep could be flatten...a very easy fix 2) the DW on the gen is a tad bolder The crystal on the rep has a very slightly purple tint. The cg and crown looks pretty good The caseback - the engraving could be shaper and deeper The side date adjuster How flush is the DW you ask...please judge for yourself It's about a hairline difference from the gen. IMO it's great and no one can tell - even with both on hand to compare. The bracelet Wrist shot Overall -IMO this is the best out of the box pam out there and for the price it's a no brainer. I'll get the CP flatten/polished soon and besides that it's all it needs. Thanks for looking guys
  16. Dial looks terrible. What a disappointment.
  17. My bracelet feels very smooth...still a tad sharp on the edges but much better than previous rep bracelets
  18. Yes this is gen box from one of my my gens
