I just purchased the gen from my AD for $5900AUD ($5400USD'ish). Maybe you didnt ask your AD 'nicely' I reckon it is well worth it personally. Retail here in Australia it is tagged at $8500AUD. I do a fait bit of negotiation in my business so maybe I did alright but I didnt really hit as hard as I could of. I was to eager to get it taht day. TAG was definitely not my first choice of brands. This is the only TAG I like in their whole range. This was my price range and I have looked at other brands and couldnt find anything I liked within this budget. So no offence but it is really up to you not what some AD tells you that you should like/buy. Do your homework and If you are happy with it, you can afford it, then get it and wear it well. I am crap with a camera but if anyone was interested I could get some pics of it. Cheers. AJ

Maybe this is dicussed here?? Just a couple of questions/statements: I have seen the original. Actually I am looking at splurging for the real deal. It will be my first legit. I have a couple of Panerai reps. This is the only Tag I really like. Its damn sweet in real life though. With the Real thing I think TH changed their mind and didnt end up releasing this as a limited edition so on the back the LE scibe is probably an immediate give? Also the Real is so light. It is Ultralight Titanium whatever that means, So I presume the Rep will be heavier? Would that be right? I am a bit annoyed taht they have a pretty good rep. Making me rethink if to get this or not as the rep does look pretty good Thoughts, Experiences??

my watch has a few issues and is still being looked at by him. He is bending over backwards to help me. So I trust him just havent got the final result I am after yet. I have Pm'ed you his details though. Good luck. PS. He isnt that far from you then if you are Cheltenham.

Sorry offshore didnt see your post, I must have been writing when you replied. I dont seem to get reply notifications even though I have it set too - anyway ... Thanks Ken, I have the details of this same watchsmith (I presume as he is in the same location) I have just dropped off my watch today. So will see how we go with him.

know anyone by any chance offshore? PM'ed someone that was recommended but havent heard from them yet ...

Hi All, I have a Panerai Luminor Submersible Regatta. I have had for 12 months or so. Love it but just recently the date wgheel seems to have jammed and I cant move it. It is stuck on 17 and doesnt change. Sometimes it does move on the 24 hours and then gets stuck halfway between the two days. I had a look on here for some help but couldnt see anything. I am sure I am not the only one. Maybe I havent used this search properly?? Anyway I havent the patience to learn how to fix it. Is there any trustworthy Australian repairers anyone can recommend or do I have to send o/seas (which is fine as long as they are trustworthy). Can it be fixed first and how much would it roughly cost?? Hoping someone can help. Love this watch. Maybe I just save up for the real thing AJ
