lovepanerai

ok fair enough, you are probably right....still love your 196

I am in for a silver dial, gold hands

I wonder why you would care about the movement? If you take the back of anybody who has seen a real Rolex movement would see the difference right away - no matter if you have the one on Trusty's or King's pictures

sorry I don't think that you could take your 196 to an AD without it being identified as a replica fast...the bezel of you case just looks very different from the real thing or earlier 196's The IWC...yes and if you keep posting pictures you are forcing me to buy one

here are some closeups of the concentric circles on the subdials You can also find my pictures here on RWG @ IWC Portugieser Silver with Black Subdials

overal quality looks and feels very good, right up there with the Panerais if not better.

my new Eddie Lee Portugieser

Here is the requested wristshot Thickness is 11-12mm and diameter is between 40-41mm; the quality of the rep strap is surpisingly good

check this out Swiss 7750 PAM212...you simply have to love it

this was the fastest ever shipping watch from EL...only 3 days check out the pictures of this beauty

The Luminor Arktos GMT PAM186 has a black face: The Luminor Northpole GMT PAM252 has a blue face: and here is another pic of the gen 186

Nice one, it is a shame that they went to the different case on the 196 though

20mm at the lugs and 18mm at the buckle

Stainless Steel

send me a PM with your email address and I will invite you thru Gmail to get one

found some more pictures of the Panda dial gen and some very big closeups of the dial, the last one shows the silverish sparkle of the dial nicely

Here is a pic scanned out of the 2004 IWC catalogue/book and as finepics already pointed out the gold markers should be PG/RG and not Yellow Gold - it also shows that the Panda does exist. cheers

Eddie has it too, just ordered one

Hi Rob, hope you enjoy my birth place.....Bavaria rules :-)

only brought one watch to Hawaii....this is it

Neil has the correct bold/wide bezel font, brushed version with 7750, check the dealer section ;-) Gruss und Viel Spass

Sinn U1, no doubt

Had the original on my wrist at an AD in SF, great piece but to big for my tiny wrist :-(, what a shame I wish I could wear it.

tried to buy one from you but I guess my email inquiry was a victim of your spam filter ;-) I am still interested and have just sent you a PM

thanks I appreciate that
