I agree. The larger watches seem unbalanced IMHO. Bigger isn't necessarily better, and often a discreet watch is more stylish and less "showy" than some of the dinner plate sized watches around now. I suppose if you want to be noticed, then a huge watch is difficult to miss, so then it might make some sense to wear one... M

Thanks P4GTR. I'm learning! I'll keep reading/absorbing and try and take time before I make my first proper rep purchase. Regards, Mike

Thanks onzenuub. I've just thought of an addition to my list: Why are Paneri watches known as PAM? Where doesn the "M" come from? Cheers, Mike

Hello from a new member. I've been lurking for a week or 2, slowly learning things, even bought my first rep-a Patek complication-not a great version (v poor crown and it has a year window, which the real thing would never have) but it is pretty, was cheap, and is a start. I'd upload a picture if I was clever enough to work out how to. Things to learn: What do all these acronyms mean? (e.g. SOSF, MBW, PO, SMP etc.) How do I stop myself buying more? What should I consider buying next? (I've got thinnish wrists so the super large watches are not a good choice) Where are the best places to buy from? (I think I've worked this one out-dealers recommended in this forum!) Where do I learn to modify/find someone to modify my watch(es)? I don't expect anyone to answer these, I was just voicing them, partly to help clarify my thoughts, and partly for other members to see the sort of things a "newbie" struggles with. I'll keep reading (and re-reading) all the pinned topics and relevant forum messages I can. Regards from the UK. Mike
