Hey guys, So I've just ordered a custom 47mm Luminor style Marina Militare. It's a custom watch so wondering which direction should the crown guard open. I know the 127, 217 and RXW MM20's flips up to open. The 203, 267, DSN's versions flips down to open. Which one is more historically correct for the Marina Militare 47mm watches? Thx

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a custom made RXW MM20 style Marina Militare made and wondering if the CG lever should flip up to open (127 or 217) or flip down to open (267 and all other pams)? So essentially which one do people normally ask for from DSN? Thx

Also who is PP?

Thanks for the information. So for the 104 PerfectC= TrustyT= PureT= PreciousT are they all the same watch? The strap is no big issue for me..I really dont mind spending a bit more if the watch is an ultimate pam. Do you think the ultimate "Best version" 104 is worth it from the cartel's? Also are these watches actually water resistant to 50m Thanks again D

After looking through all the posts I am still confused which dealer to go with for my first Pam rep. I know that I will not do any mods but want a decent reliable rep. I am more into the Marina type models with CG. Looking on PC's site can you tell me the difference between the $100+ and a $400+ Pam 104? I mean there are 3 or 4 price points for the 104 watch..sooooo confusing for a noob. Are the fonts/spacing/mag off, CG not tight or flush?, cannon pin not correct? Someone please shed some light. For 400+ do you get a near perfect Pam 104? If you wanted just to get your feet wet with a nice out of the box Pam maybe a 112, 000 or 005 which one would you get? Say spend $300 usd (or cheaper if there is better deal) From which Cartel? Someone suggested the PC 112h which is fairly affordable at 100+...whats wrong with it? (Cannon pin, CG not flush..thats all i see)..is this watch actually so much inferior to the DSN 112 version? I think I am looking for a new (no scratches or stripped screws), reliable, correct font, good CG, cannon pin fixed from a reputable dealer who QC's..for around $300. Is this possible? Thx D

Hey there, As a newbie...I'm interested in getting the Ultimate Pam 1:1 rep. I know DSN makes the best out of the box manual watches esp the 112. I've tried to buy his 112 but was screwed around by Western Union and vowed never to use Western Union again. My questions are that I've heard Perfect Clones makes the best Pam automatics ie the 104 or 88 Is this true? How's dealing with PC? Have you guys had any experience with the PC Pam's watches out of the box? Which Pam would you go for from PC? Any issues in shipping to Canada from PC? If there are any other perfect Pam rep dealers that dont use Western Union let me know and their recommended Ultimate model. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks, D

Hi Newbie here. What would be the best out of the box 104? Ie no mods done. Correct cannon pin height etc., tight crown guard lever, 316 steel etc. Of course I'm looking for the Ultimate 104 but it has to be reliable. Also will I be safe to say that these watches will be better than any of the reps you buy from Canal Street in NY China town? Thx

The search on 1 post says ruby may still have this...anyone else? Thx D

As the title says what you guys say is the best rep out of the box? Budget of <$500 Breitlings SOSF, Skyland Avenger, BCE ? IWC Ingeniuer? Pam 111H?

i own both the gen 2254.50 and gen 2531.80 ...if it was up to me i will sell my 2254.50 and get the black bond PO 45 imo...

47mm Sterile dial no markings Cali dial w/blue hands. Display backing but may ask him change it to a solid ss sterile back so its not really a rep. Thoughts?

sorry i may be a little slow but i did do the search..."canada customs" i havent found anything on "canadian duties and taxes" on the reps. i know that many canadians here have received many watches...but it doesnt tell me what "extra" they pay in terms of duties and taxes?? sure i can receive a watch but i dont want to pay an extra $300 in duties and taxes...because some customs guy assessed the watch to be worth more. sorry for the newbie question man. hope it makes sense of what im asking. thx

Please help!!!....I've did searches and can't come up to definitive answers. I'm new to buying reps but not new to buying watches overseas. I've bought 2 watches in Germany. My question here is if I buy a rep will Customs charge me duties and taxes for a $300 watch or will they charge me duties and taxes on a watch of what they think its actually "WORTH" say $5000? Or will they just seize the watch and not charge of what they deemed the worth of the watch? From what I remember on the 2 watches I bought I think they charged me 5% on the converted ex-rate and then charged me 14% GST/PST Any advice would be appreciated. The other alternative is to buy a custom watch with sterile dials and sterile backing...maybe Davidsen's 249 cali dial... What do you think? Thanks D

Thinking of the Slate Skyland Avenger V2 dial. Which dealer offers free replacement with lost goods in Customs Thanks, D
