lovepanerai

nice review - thanks for sharing

thanks M8 - I am practically at home there

wow I missed that somehow note to myself: buy when CN New Year is over

yeah people cmon post pictures...it seems that we only have a select few that always share and I am sure that loads of members bought that watch...we are waiting

Angus, Andrew, Joshua and King all carry all available models - the graphite and slate grey are incorrect color and the black diamond is too blingy...I would go with the white one, since it seems to be the most accurate

Rolli - great pictures that's the first time I see you posting a non Panerai

it is a nice "run of the mill watch" that has nothing special about, no complications to speak of, no particular historical value,, etc - that's why the resale value is not as high as on a Panerai, Rolex, Patek, etc.

Panerai was very inconsistent back than and there are some models that had AR coating - not the 29 though AFAIK

nice collection - thanks for sharing

in addition to what Pugwash said you might want to try changing the position of the watch so that the autofocus has something to focus on - if you have a little rectangle in the viewfinder/on your screen than try to position it so that it has a contrasting subject to focus on...not sure if I am explaining this correctly

of course, but be careful with those quick jobs where they just drain the movement in a cleaning solution - you should get it properly serviced, once you did you will enjoy for a long time. Just check the forum in the expert and watch repair sections for more details.

wait a couple of weeks and see if it still runs fast after the break-in period, if not the movement is probably dirty, which is quite common with replicas.

it is mostly the sizing, since there is no second batch...they are all the same.

EDITED: Please see my detailed review in the review section - will be up in about an hour (Feb 17th 2:35am PST)

just received my PAM Arktos92 and there is good and bad about it - I will have to work now but will post more details including pictures compared to my gen tonight - for now please see my comments to your remarks/questions well as expected the crown guard and lever is the crappiest one I have ever seen on any of the 10+ Panerai reps I have - the crown is also the usual rep crown so no improvement here total optical illusion - looks the same on my gen at certain angles and is very hard to photograph - The date font is 100% spot on usual crap rep lume not superb or even decent looks more like tint than AR - has a very strong blueish tint compared to the gen and recent real AR coated replicas as I said forget the lume - non existent...

sad news indeed, Eddie and River were the ones that got me started back then - they will be missed

so true - I am originally from Germany and Rolex for example was always perceived to be a pimp or shady sort of new rich show off watch, particularly the Day-dates and Datejusts or whatever those things are called...sorry Rolex lovers, just talking about common opinion in Germany. I like them on technical merits, but am no big fan of their design or reputation

one hell of a watch for 149 bucks - great pictures too
