  1. You won't find these types of posts on P, VP, or on the Purist forums This forum is just amazing!! Just bring on the videos please... a little more nasty and a little less tasteful would probably be appreciated too
  2. I just sent a warning to all the bidders... I have one of these, but I haven't been able to find any photos of the genuine in titanium... Does it exist?
  3. The PAM 111 is Stainless Steel (polished case and bezel, brushed CG) and the PAM 177 is titan. Personally, I like the 177 as it has a darker, more subdued look to it, where the 111 is bright and shiny. Depends what you like... what do YOU like?
  4. I never look at my cellphone to tell the time... that's why I have a watch.... Cellphone clocks are redundant.
  5. PAM 091 on dark violet haroween shell cordovan
  6. Time for a new car admin I still drive my Eunos 800 I imported from Japan to New Zealand and shipped here to Oz when I moved... I just love this car for some weird reason We got my wife a Freelander ES... It's good now... after 20 visits back to the friggin dealer. Land Rover never again
  7. This watch is surely beautiful... Are there really different versions out there? I was going to order from Joshua next month for the woman's bday. Hoew ARE the diamonds on this watch? The one thing I've noticed about the diamonds on reps is that they don't sparle too much at all... I'd go as far as replacing them with better quality crystals if they weren't great. My wife and I were looking at these at Crown Casino a few weeks back, nice, but $AU10k (no diamonds, or maybe just dial markers I think) is pretty rich for a quartz watch, no matter what the brand!
  8. My 196 is sealed very well around all the pushers/crown/and back... I would worry about the bezel seal more than anywhere. Have it checked by a watchmaker and then you'll know.
  9. I got one extra $150 JUST KIDDING
  10. Same here... you just don't get the same type of interaction as you get on the purist sites... The excitement of getting a rep in the post, or back from mods... watching my crappy rep strap witha great buckle turn into a truly unique work of art by Kostas and Aaron. Gens are great to have and wear... No guilt (except for the huge mark-up you pay), great quality, but they're surely not as exciting as a great rep project! You're so right about this community.. It has soooo much more camaraderie than you get at the purists sites and you don't have the stuck-up aholes stickin' their two cents in just to brag about their 20 million dollar watches

    Not taken the wrong way at all, in fact, I wrestled with this for quite some time... Having bought an Invicta (yukkk, puke) at one low point in my watch buying life and then selling it for not too bad a loss, these made me stay on the fence for quite a while. That being said, I also bought a MarcelloC Nettuno and the watch was a pleasure to wear and I had no 'brand issues' like I had with the Invicta. The watch was very close to the Rolex Sub, although I still feel better quality, especially the bracelet. I think the RXW will fall into the latter category, it is unique enough to stand on it's own and good enough quality to justify the price.... Things I noticed regarding it's similarities to Panerai were really not many, except the dial number font and the subdial hands... The case is similar looking from the front, but the side view is very different frfom the Rads. The tritium gas tubes and the crown/pusher arrangement set it even further apart. Putting it all together, it's a unique design in my opinion, most watches are rip-offs from others in one way or another... so many submariner take-offs out there to make your head spin. It will cost a little more than a 196 or 212 with mods, and I'll be able to swim with it and not be called out for wearing a rep I bought this in lieu of the 2893 PAM 063, which was a toss-up as I already have an 029 that I paid about $600 for.

    They were already sued by Richemont for the MM20, and lost, they had to stop production/sales of that model and now the MM20 is getting good money amongst some circles. I think the one I ordered resembles parts of Panerai, but the case is unique. It's 40mm, so I'll see how I like it when it arrives. If it's too small, I'm sure I'll be able to find it a good home.

    RXW

    Well... just ordered one... I'm all excited now!!! If anyone wants these, contact me and we'll see what we can do. If there's enough interest, maybe we can get a discount on the discount, but I wouldn't be too hopeful as they normally sell these at $1580.
  14. I held off on the purchase of these because there were too many variations in the photos shown... That, witha lack of communication told my little guy inside to hold off on these... With that, is anyone interested in 3 Lello crowns I have here waiting for a home?

    Thanks Andrew... I have been put on the short list of 50 International buyers for a special price, the above picture I can get for under 1000 where it normally goes for over 1500, pso I may jump at this one. It has tritium gas tubes, like the Ball watches, which glow like crazy, I'm just a little unsure of the 40mm size.

    RXW

    I've been on the edge of buying the Plasmir Milgraph from RXW... I have been on the waiting list for some time now and my number has come up. I like it and it seems like a good quality watch. I am trying to get larger images of these.
  18. Years ago, when I played, I had a Rickenbacker and a Pedulla... I do miss those days, had a lot of fun!
  19. Cuz it wasn't really that funny... and to keep you on your toes ken darling
  20. Get the chrono... much sexier methinks. I tried the 45mm version, I really didn't like it too much, the smaller one is better for -me-. The coaxial excapement is a great movement! I would probably buy a Master Compressor over the PO... Those are substantial watches!
