Not vouching for this, so do some research and be careful you don't get ripped but there are a few companies that sell this.

"Hack" means to pull out crown so that watch ceases movement--this way, one could preserve their power reserve overnight. However, this only works on a "hack" movement, obviously... A little shake is all that it take for my automatics to get rolling. And sometimes they get left unused for a long period of time. Mostly, they're either Swiss ETA or ETA Clone movements, however. Not sure about the cheapo 21J's...

Thanks!

What does it mean to "hack" a movement? Can someone explain this to me?

All of those watches and no PAM's? He had just about everything under the sun covered but not one Panerai... interesting.

he is wearing this beast :

What the hell is that thing? I am sort of new here but I have never seen that before.

Thats what my guess was, 50mm U-Boat.

Massive watch.

Anyone want to venture a guess?

hmmmmmmmmmmm.....................

Looks great, love the carbon fiber bezel and dial.

Good news, while I dont know Lani and he doesn't know me, I wish him the best.

Top left and top right are gens?

8" wrists ....................... wouldn't be me at your door !!!! ...............

Not me either. The truth always lies somewhere in between, I am glad the buyer stood up and gave his half of the story. Hopefully, they both take a deep breath and resolve this matter peacefully.

Wow, that is one intense project. It looks awesome.

I have been searching for about a year for one of the old 40mm PAM's, specifically the 50. I wanted the first version available with the modified 7750 movement. I have checked the sales threads religiously through my search and while a few might have popped up during my search, maybe 1, I always missed the sale.

One day I was browsing through the personal collection photos and one member, who I will not name, posted his vast collection. He had so many watches it almost strained my eyes to look at his awesome collection. In one of the watch boxes I noticed what I thought was the watch I had been looking for. So I PM'd him and asked him if he wanted to sell it. He was very nice but said he was not looking to get rid of it, oh well. Then about two months later I got an email, he had reconsidered and said I could now have it, awesome!

I sent an immediate payment and the wait began. This weekend the package arrived, when I opened it was not the old version 1 PAM 50 but something entirely different. It was a blue dial PAM 120! For those that don't know this rep was not made but for a very short period of time and is on par with the earlier versions of the 50 as far as accuracy and quality. It really was one of the first super reps that dealers made. This is what makes this community so great!

I am so happy with my purchase and the fact that I finally found one of the old 40mm PAM's that are now so rare.

Anyways enough with the writing, here are the pics.

Looks great. I love that watch.

Searching for a new gen watch purchase, Chopard MM, and discovered RWG. Since then my eyes have been opened to so many other brands and the world of reps.

Thank goodness I didn't drop the 4G's on the Chopard because I now have 6 reps for half that price!

Wow, Lani feel better my friend!

Thats great news!!

I would tell you to only use the suppliers/collectors on this forum. They are here for a reason and that is to help you source the watch you want and make sure everything runs smooth. If it doesn't they will fix it for you, thats why they are trusted dealers.

Seriously wrong house.

Welcome aboard Polo!

These could be an awesome rep, hopefully they will get it right and pay attention to details.

$268-$278. Not too rich but we have no idea of the quality.

It will be interesting to see the reviews of these things once they start hitting the market.

Congrats, interesting first rep for sure.

Great result, I wish they were all as smooth as that. Defianlty leave that dealer some good feedback.

Thats a really awesome looking watch.
