I agree, a simple thanks is a no brainer

Man thats a handsome Sob Mike

Although; I respect everyones opinion, I would have to say that you hit the bulls eye. Realy know comparison. $10-20$ is one thing. $10.000-20.000$ is something completely different. Mike

It' funny Toad about these Panerais. When I first arrived here I thought these were funky strange watches, with this side appendage thingy. I cant realy explain it but I realy like these Pams now, go figure. Same with Hublot. Im waiting for one as we speek. But there is nothing that can compare with a Breitling. Im looking for a nice dress watch. How about the " Flying B Chrono"? What say you? Mike

One thing I can say for you The Zigmeister. "you are a very honest person". No bs thats for sure. We are very fortunate to have you here Mike

I can totaly relate Jim. I also dont care for the tag "noob" But I guess thats the price we pay as new members. It does indeed sound like your a full blown addict. It is a ocupational hazzard The main thing to remember is to stick to the dealers here at RWG. These dealers have a proven track record. The last watch I orderd arrived not running properly. The dealer said to send it back and he would send out a new watch. The watch is on It's way back to me by express mail. The dealer is picking up the tab, also read the trade reveiws. It gives one a lot of insight not only on the dealer but also on specfic watches, again welcome and enjoy Mike

Uhhh I think you mean Jim. But thanks none the less Mike

Sad to say but so many are feeling this reduction in spending Mike

Welcome Jim, good to see you here. I hope you guys stick around and enjoy this awsome community Mike

+1

Good to here from you Jackal. Welcome to the party , have fun Mike

Welcome back, hope you stick around for a while Mike

This is the nicest compliment I have ever heard someone give MF, I mean FM. Good stuff Mike

It's funny but the SS bracelets are usually very nice. The SS bracelets that came on my Omega PO and Pam 250 were of very good quality. Why the [censored] leather straps? I dont realy know. Im thinking it has to do with the factories that make these things. There tooling is for metal and the like, Im assuming. It would be painfuly obvious to have a realy nice watch on a crapy bracelet/strap. If your going to do it, might as well do it right. Mike

Amen to that. It's funny actualy. I thought these Hublots were quite fugly on first inspection. Then I saw one in my Mens Health Mag several months ago. I dont know but I for some reason found them?? well lets just say Interesting for the lack of a better word. I like the ones with the ceramic bezil and carbon fiber dial. Sorry about the rambling Mike

Toad your saying that I might be right? Well I guess there is a first time for everything. It's realy hard to get a a good veiw of the watch to my eye because of the angle, reflections,glare etc. That and my knowledge of Pams is still in It's infancy stage Mike

I dont know about this. Here I was feeling bad that this poor chap would not get any feed back. I received maybe three or four replys. on my first post I have to agree with the strap sanrio. More times than not they suck, and thats on a good day. Our strap/bracelet section can be a good place to look. I purchased my first strap for my Pam 250 @ Heroic 18. Beautiful strap and excellent service for around $100.00. There are many good straps to be found so take your time and look around. A strap can definitely make or brake your watch. Good luck Mike

Indeed it did. I guess there are a lot of people that would buy a nice rep, but they may not admit it

Hey I resemble that remark. I have a Hublot on the way

Toad go to Strap culture gallery. There is several decent pics. Also of other movies. Daylight with Stalone witch put forth this whole panerai revival. I might have my movies confused Maybe a Pam 74 or 72

I did indeed

Thanks Toad. Your Wall-Mart automatic watch is in the mail, enjoy Mike

Thanks for your response. I cant find anything to disagree with thats for sure. The thing I hate is some new members will post some questions that might be of the noobish variety, witch I totaly understand. Sometimes these post will have no replys whats so ever. Im sure you have seen this yourself. I feel bad for that member. To return here and find nothing. It wont give you a case of the warm and fuzzys thats for sure. So I do what I can to make a new member feel welcomed. I can only hope that said member will not be offended. It sounds to me that your forum savy, thats half the battle right there. I can see you have been around. This is the first forum that I have. ever joined. If know one would have responded to my first post I would have probably have left and not thought much of this community. So I try to welcome folks and return the same consideration that was so freely given to me. Again welcome and be careful,the bug has a vicious bite Mike
