There's also a difference between the gen and the rep on how the pushers are held in... I forgot the difference, but they are noticeable

Thanks guys... yes, it's sweet AS... I am amazed how sweet it really is!
Where do you think I can get a perfect dial for this??

Well, I just got back from the post office, and I just have to put up a few pics of the 22A I just received from Milanogeek in Italy... He was great to deal with and the watch arrived in seemingly no time at all!!
In addition to the watch, he's sent me 3 beautiful straps he made himself... I've put my OEM A series coramid on it for now, but I will try these vintage style straps later...
Anyway, the watch is beautiful all around, everything works as it should... I will get some tweaking done to the dial down the track a bit, but for now, it's not going to be leaving my wrist for the foreseeable future... I couldn't be happier with this purchase!
Thanks L and RWG!!!

I must have missed it in a thread, but does the new bracelet taper from 24mm to 22mm?

Nope... Not me

Should I buy this?

PAM 249 to be precise...
Now, name this Pam:

the gen 162 is anthracite (I believe)... this one seems just black...

Your U2 is nice... would love to see some more pics.
Have the made the crystal domed like the gen yet?

What does the strap smell like? Vanilla?
Vanilla's nice

Cool one of one

Yes, strap quality is pretty pathetic for many of the makers out there, except to name a few I've bought many from...
- Dirk (I think the very best for Panerai)
- Mario Paci (Great straps, unfortunately at E's d1ckhead prices)
- Europelli (Drew Watson has great straps at good prices, and a super nice guy)
- Aaron HK Tan makes beautiful custom ordered straps
I had a look at this page after Reg's comment about gun leather... nice products here:

I might even get me a few sharkskin belts after that
Comparatively, strap prices are so high for the amount of material and labor, but I guess the argument is that it's a limited market.

I noticed this true classic. It is a brilliant piece of work with a thickness of 1.9mm
Are there any reps being made of this model?
Check Canal street maybe back around 1982

I wonder where Switzerland would rank without all the Nazi gold they took and used for their own after the War. You can still detect the dental filling materials from millions of murdered Europeans in the gold from Switzerland.
That was a long, LONG time ago you know...
It's sentiments like these that perpetuate the insanity. If we could all just move on, there'd be a lot less hate in the world.

As for you guys wanting to upgrade to iOS 4 on a 3G iphone... Don't bother, it slowed my phone to an almost unusable state. It may be better on a 3GS, but I don't know.
I had to go back and it wasn't easy.

I doubt you'll get a good watch out of buying with them. They're using gen watch photos, so they're lying to you before you even buy something.
Stick with our trusted dealers and you'll at least see what you're getting first.

Simply beautiful
Any long term health impact with rep rubber straps?

I would think you don't have anything to worry about wearing them on your wrist...
If you wanted to hide your rubber strap where the sun don't shine to get through customs, you might want to remove the buckles, and maybe even the watch, depending on your mood... They can get quite scratchy....![:whistling:](https://rwg.cc/datastore/emoticons/emoticons/default_whistling.gif)
