still can't see the photo...

Can't see the photo, but the only sub I know of with a grey (anthracite) dial is the PAM 106/170. I don't believe it is a limited edition though.

Doh... Well they pulled it down, I was just about to copy and paste just in case. Too late... Anyway, the jist of the story goes like this: A well known watch dealer in Singapore (Time Will Tell) had a supposedly genuine 3646 watchcase for sale for a whopping $US10,000. Several well respected Panerai collectors posted there was no way that was a genuine case and that he'd been done.... the case was worth $60 blah blah blah He guaranteed it to be genuine, from a well known watch collector but then a few more well respected members also confirmed that it was not genuine. The interesting part of this for me is that this is the company that I bought my latest Panerai from.... Hope it's real I'm sure there'll be more from this story as the plot thickens.

Non-original 3646 case called out on Paneristi: http://www.network54.com/Forum/353393/thre...YSTAL+AND+BEZEL

I'm in the same boat as you... Probably one of the best reps out there right out of the box, but it wasn't 'tooly' enough for me. Sometimes I miss it, and probably wouldn't have sold it if there was a nylon strap when I got it... Come to think of it, I just might get another with nylon... or the AP ROO... or...

I really like my Davidsen 026: And my 195 ain't too shabby either: What I don't like about them are the cases... Just can't seem to get thick straps on them

Check out Aaron Tan's stuff on Paneristi... down the bottom he has 24mm NATO straps for 44mm Panerais: HK Tan's cool stuff

You have message

Well I have several... I love them all differently, for different reasons, on different days...

I understand your situation Mark, and feel bad that you are going through these issues now. Trust me... this will make you stronger. The only thing I would like to know before you sign out completely for a while is that you have received my watch and that it is safe with you. I sent it quite some time ago and I have had no replies to my PMs, email, or a confirmation that you'd received it. Just a really quick confirmation that you have iot and you know what has to be done will be totally acceptable. Good luck and godspeed

I second that watches are fine, but something like shoes would have me a bit worried, being kind to your feet is very important, bad shoes can cause problems. Would you wear rep prescription eyeglasses?

I am definitely looking forward to your strap V... I think I will have a hard time choosing between two blue straps. This Simona has not left my wrist yet

Really nice... Best looking B&M I've seen, I reckon that will be a popular watch ^^

That's just a thing of beauty!!! Very unique and really love the dial on that one. Your photos came out beautifully too... gave the watch the show it deserved! Congratulations... WEAR IT WELL!!!

Is that even remotely legal?? After all, rep or not, it's his PROPERTY . Hypothetically, what if he bought this thinking it was gen for some several thousand dollars, and they smashed it... wouldn't they be responsible for damaging HIS property?

Pugs is correct after the first guess

Just got delivery of this really cool Simona strap. The color is Black & Blue with slightly off-white stitch. It's mighty thick and goes very nicely on the PAM 089. http://www.simonastraps.com/index.asp?sezi...;sottosezione=0 Really great casual strap and just perfect with jeans!!

Wow K!!! That's just beautiful and the tritium is to die for.... Just got a Simona blue/black strap in and I reckon that would be a killer strap on this 03! Wear it well ^^^ :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Mark... I've emailed and PMed you... just checking that you have received my watch. I figure your inbox is full of requests not to quit the modding game However long it takes is how long it will take, not worried

OK Offshore... what are you up to?

All I can say is WOW ROLLI!!! That put's my little collection to shame! Beautiful collection and an envy to strap enthusiasts around the world for sure! Knowing the time I spend daily to choose a strap/watch combo, I'll just say wear them well! Please contact me if you want to offload anything

Great post Gio, and pretty much my feelings too... This *is* an excellent community, and as long as we stick together and help each other out, it will only get better. Can we nominate for post of the month?

Have a look at this beauty... currently bid at $1000!! http://cgi.ebay.com/LUMINOR-PANERAI-DAYLIG...1QQcmdZViewItem Original what??!!
