So my beloved 063 has been taken away from me and not only that but also my custom HKtan Pangolin along with it ! Here's the latest Panerai convert.. my darling girlfriend. I knew the first thing you lot would ask for is pictures so here you go

Found his stuff on google video, thought some bits were pretty funny ! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2579833089500205658

There's a front page ? oops never really noticed !

Wow great stuff, goes without saying but count me in too ! will be sure to check out the new thread

Absolutely stunning in those pics, infact so stunning that I have ended up ordering one since EL's running those great package deals

It's been a while since I had this one on

I was all hyped up when it was really limited with only one dealer supplying it, although at a fairly high price and almost went for it but the older movement and the high price tag and having bought 3 new watches that month put me off. Now that its a bit better available I just find my self dragging my feet ordering one, I guess hype had a bit to do with that so I imagine you might be right. It might also have something to do with the fact that we are spoilt on this forum with the wide choice of great dealers and second hand offers coming up and that if you don't like it you can just sell it on or let someone else go first if you aren't sure As for the 212, couldn't agree more.. really like it and it gets more wrist time then any other.

K, the next time you're in town we have to go for a drink and compare the two PVD finishes on this and the Davidsen one !

Sorry guys and thanks for the comments, did not mean to abandon this thread. Having had it now for a couple weeks I have to say it has grown quite a bit on me, loads of comments but the single best part was having a manager at the local AD ask to have a look at it then drool over and comment on the "Wow, an A dont have the pleasure of seeing too many of these" and handing it back to me with kid gloves on after wiping it down. I guess that might swung it a bit for me The main difference is the case, Davidsen says its been re-worked and been given a new better CG / guard. Also blackened screws and a bead blasted buckle as well. Also I believe the older ones didnt have a spacer so the movement used to move in the case (I think, only going by what I read) the price difference was $30 roughly so decided to go for a newer one. Oh and lastly thats a BOB Vertigo light brown... picture makes it look well worn - I guess time to order a new one as back up no work, thats how it comes.. just right. The font on the dial on the gen is a tad bit thicker but the chances of someone spotting that on your wrist are probably about as much as anyone winning the lottery

Out of the two, the black but put me down for a brown as well. PVD looks lovely with the Vertigo light brown

Missed out on the first batch, not gonna happen again... hopefully

I'd be happy without any class if I had as much money as the Beckhams

Congrats K, looks like it was a great wedding and also good to have you back

It's the same with Piracy didn't you know, made me grin though when the cinema's had the posters up with the Piracy funds Terrorism slogans I can see Rolex's PR companies working this one up soon as well into an ad

He's listed it at $399 on his thread, looks good ! Tough choice, new Bentley GT or the 187.... damn !

Well I thought my PAM collection was done with for a bit and then along came Davidsen with his pre-built PVD's and I knew I needed one in the collection. I ordered a 195 from Davidsen but due to delays and the fact that since ordering it I had really liked the look of the 202's, I asked if he could switch me over to one of his second generation 202A's, with issues that existed with the 1st gen now resolved and including a lovely bead blasted same finish as the case PVD buckle and the black screws. Davidsen kindly obliged and this turned up in the post a few hours ago in only 3 days after being posted from Hong kong. What can I say ? Extremly well put together and a great PVD finish - pretty much the same as Finepics's one although not having his 28 in front of me at the moment I am just working off memory here There seemed to be what appeared as glue on the crown guard but this wiped off. I also notice that the lume on the hands and the dial is not the same colour. I have a slight confession to make, I am not feeling the black look on a watch - just a bigger fan of the brushed/polished SS look I guess or maybe my PAM addiction is finally run its course ? I guess I'll wear it for a few days and then see. Now I guess the most part, the photos..

Haha, I wonder if someone got paid to translate that

Definately the GT for me, its a lot more accurate then the other one. Relaxman, what do you think of the burgundy colour ? its certainly something different so was just wondering if it goes well with casual clothes as a beater ?

Oooh, good to know ! I am expecting one from him as well

Tasty ! Always been a fan of the Bentley range and this one is pretty damn spot on.... gah another Breitling for me soon I think

Looks fantastic, really does make a noticeable difference

That was a bit disappointing but just incredible how many shots / corners Sweden had, atleast top of the group so thats something for now

Haha might have to use that some time

Did he actually say "Thats a Fake, I dont like fake's? " or did you just jump to the conclusion by his reaction ? It might not necessarily be the fact he thinks its the weight or a replica at all, a lot of people don't actually like the "dirty" look of Titanium as I have been told many times. Infact I was also told once while wearing my old Avenger ti that I should take it in and have it polished up If your first reaction is "oh no im busted" you're going to have a hard time pass off any of your reps as gen to friends since friends love to break balls

Homer used to sell those on ebay for £4.99, might be worth a check. I have a set of papers too but I'll take everyone's word for it If someone would come up with some better quality papers I might go for it (well if you can, I could use a degree with a first too ) but as it stands it does not really bother me though I can imagine it bugging the hell out of ssurfer as its language.
