Yes .. i check it out on a daily basis myself ... the colour that comes really close to that is the peli del sole ... but it is a waterproof strap a little stiffer than the others ... there is a mix up on the pics from elliot .... i have the noce ... and when i ordered i,t it said noce but mara almost shipped the mocha ... noce is the brownish red marrone tones ... same one if you remember the crayola crayons "noce" ... if it is noce you will be very happy with it, those marrones and reddish browns look good on the PAM'S check with Elliot ... you will be really happy with noce, if i can sense your colour taste...both OFMP and GeF have NOCE Yes .. i check it out on a daily basis myself ... the colour that comes really close to that is the peli del sole ... but it is a waterproof strap a little stiffer than the others ... there is a mix up on the pics from elliot .... i have the noce ... and when i ordered i,t it said noce but mara almost shipped the mocha ... noce is the brownish red marrone tones ... same one if you remember the crayola crayons "noce" ... if it is noce you will be very happy with it, those marrones and reddish browns look good on the PAM'S check with Elliot ... you will be really happy with noce, if i can sense your colour taste...both OFMP and GeF have NOCE

Ms. Barret ... the pic on that on the Medici "mocha" is way off..... you will be happy with the article though .... dark browns go well witht the PAM's... i am the last person to know about fashion... just what my eye's tell me .... that moch is a good looking strap ... actually there aren't many OFMP's that I don't like CHECK OUT ... Elliot's specials today .. he has the GeF in the PAV hide ... same one on the OFMP 91 for `129usd .. it's a 125/80 though a bit long for you

since u started this thread i even look forward to reading everyones post about your hunt for the mini fiddy.... great looking strap girl!!!! bet u cannot wait to strap it on..... after all this i better add a mini fiddy to my collection..... He or She who dies with the most watches/straps...WINS .. have a great week V

To confuse you even more ..LOL.... the 124,...090, PR's are included in my favorite PAM selection.... and members are working on getting a correct date Wheel (font) for it ... you may want to ask sssurfer to take a look at the pics of the movement ... sure looks like the same movement we all discussed a little while ago and if it is then it is one of the better movements out of China .... it's just the font is hard to look at ... sticks out like a sore thumb some of the higher end dealers have less expensive asian movements also the same price as Paul .... my 199 submersible is getting a lot of wrist time ... i really like the look of that one ... the new upgraded model with almost correct mag and correct font. it goes well with the Mario Paci Noce..it has a suavivity that watch does... too bad they don't make and don't plan to make it in titanium... that would be the ultimate for me I like what sssurfer has chosen ... sandwich dial with no date And then there are the Titaniums ... like the 111 but in titanium ... i like the finish of TI when oxidized properly got a TI with brown dial ... cheap Asian movmt from andrew that i really like... keeps good time and after oxidizing it .. it looks great. And being the fashion Queen that you probably are you know that accesorizing straps will either make or break the look .... LOL..... Mario paci ... DA BOMB .. I will ever make fun of the female gender again (shoes) i am getting there with straps.... I know i have been of no help and have just taken up space so have a good weekend V.....

very metro..... maybe the background can change a LITTLE BIT ... at least now i know what to put my MP natural on .... sometimes i can't dress myself.. lifes a b_ _ _ _ and then you marry one.. thanks for the pic ...

Just a suggestion ... maybe you should wait ntil the Datewheel with the proper font becomes available ... there are members working on the DW now ... put the mag on hold until the DW is ready ... just a thought

I'm all in for 4 and 3 ti's

Finepics .... have been trying to contact you ...regarding DW's if you read this please contact me Thanks ... Lanikai

VB... check out .."TC Straps" they carry MP's their OFMP XIII in "Noce" similar colour to 91 for 199 usd .. i have one you will not be dissapointed

She is a beauty and i could not resist.. go to (TC straps) Elliot's the "Man", .. i will ask him if he is wiling to give a discount to reffered clients.. I had to return a Genuine Alligator Panerai today .. they have some strange sizes I take a 125/80 .. they have 115/75 then it goes to 115/95 the buckle rides near the 6 oclock anyone have a solution to this????

Yaaahhh.... tell your BF i wasn't implying you were being really BUTCH ... ireally thought you were a guy and when you explained how Stallone was soo goergous ... well you can imagine wat i was thinking.. LOL.. have a panerai weekend.. check out Davids board too he has some TI with brown dial ... for 2 or 3 cheaper watches you can get a good swiss movement with Ti case .. from Josh, Andrew or David....

Am i missing something here ... i don't see any marker fix at the 9 ?????

I would be REALLY BUMMED.. to say the least since i just got one .... but i think the Mod guy's can fix it ... but the dealers should know first and they say no so i really don't know

I had to check to see if there was an upgrade since i just got my 089 .... and J said to his knowledge there is no upgrade in the dial ???????? i dunnoo

Yes,.. both Joshua and Andrew will be up and up with you ... email Joshua.. he is on line now and he can advise you correctly on the 2 movements ... good luck and as i have found .. good luck with the addiction ..P.S. you are le femme ... sorry thought it was a feminine guy before ... (not that there's anything wrong with that)....

Joshua advises to go with the Auto movement, mail Josh and ask .... i think it was something about the bridge on the manual wind... can't remember ... just the usual the lume is weak in the numerals, hands need to be mod. but for the price it's a pretty good buy... just need to throw some money into Flav or Ziggy for mod.

Thanks to: Lello for the Date Wheels .... Watchmeister for the Mags.... and Kruzer for the genuine crowns Just a public thank you to you guy's for helping to get me closer to perfect with the 029 Gmt... And thanks sssufer for hooking me up with the tech specialists ... it will leave tomorrow for Ohio and I am sure it will return with a very different personality.. I'll be sending some Kona Coffee out to all of you as soon as the beans come in from the BIG ISLAND of HAWAII... just as a Mahalo for your help Lello will get something a little different since with Homeland Security being what it is I don't want to send coffee beans to Europe.. for reasons that i will not get into. On another note ... Joe at Panatime .. on ebay has his watch winders for 1/2 price good quality ... i got 4 just to keep me from having to wind the autos by hand ... i am a little apprehensive to do so after reading all the threads on auto winds... especially the 7750 Is it going to make a difference to program it to clockwise or counterclockwise ... just want to cover all my bases Thanks again Gang..

I have a couple of spare CG's with levers if anyone needs help with them ... EL's 127 cost me an additional 150 to fix and mod. VB let me know if these CG's and levers may he;p you?

VB ..... I have recieved numerous Reps. with the same problem as you have... the first time the dealer sent me new CG's twice,.. one was too tight and the other at least a quarter of a mm away from the crown (lever) ... this was from Eddie L. ... getting him to take responsibility for his watches was difficult... he is sort of retired ... (the euphamism i will use) ... i deal with Joshua and Andrew now and the law of averages for senior dealers will catch up... as sssufer noted ..."high voume dealers", but there never was an issue in sending it back for a fix, with either Josh or Andrew ... in fact i have the 196 to go back and i have 2 other watches in transit on the way back to me. They will stand by their products... it does take longer to china... about 3 to 4 weeks round trip Remember: 1. if you insure it and it is lost you have to show proof of purchase ... and Reps. are not exactly legal in all government views especially now with the trade talk about China and their conterfieting of various products. 2. If it is really defected and you have a registered number and the parcel is lost I know one instance where Andrew replaced the watch no questions. 3 All watches come from the same factory with these dealers but some Senior dealers add their own detailing to some of the watches ... ie. AR coating etc...(that is my understanding anyway).. Joshua has a little say in what the factory does and he will inspect his watches 4. Personally I would not order from European Dealers .. only because of customs.. I once was charged a full duty on a Rep that customs took as genuine ... the dealer in China overlooked paying "his" proper "taxes" to the powers that be. and European parcels being more scrutinized..... So if you are looking for good Quality in Reps I would inquire with Joshua or Andrew .. nothing against any other dealers but as far as not having to worry about the end result I personally feel safe with them and Joshua will tell you if the watch is a good buy or the movement is not worth it ...I like this because i don't have the expertise "yet" of the other members on the Board ... that is my long winded mail to you ... I thought I would pass on what I experienced so you don't have to go through the same things ... hopefully. LANIKAI

Hey it will viper ... it's just that you get to learn patience in the watch game rep or gen. ... chna's mail service isn't the Pony Express... thanks again

Sorry Willith... thanks for putting it straight... won't happen again

thanks viper ... but like i said ... it is a mute point now since the crown seems to have broke off the stem.... the 7750 movements have given me the most headaches.. really tempermental animals...so it's back to the dealer .. it's ok though my dealer up and up and will make it right.. but thanks for the input at least i know i don't stand alone and it's not bad watch kharma

that's nice that you met someone named Sly but I am 5'8" and the Sly that was at the World gym was the Genuine Stallone and he was introduced to us by my training partner .. Rocky Johnson .. maybe you heard of his son The Rock... well The Rock was 13 years old at the time, that's about how long ago Sly was here in Hawaii, but i don't think my memory has faded that much ... and it is well documented that Sly is not 5'9" .... no he is not "small" he is usually really ripped and looks much bigger because of his symetry... maybe you were standing in a pot hole (joke)... take my ancedotes for what it's worth

I remember reading a thread on the 196 ...7750 mvmt. I just recieved the watch ... out of the box .... it had movement I pulled out the crown to adjust the time and when i pushed it back the watch would not function ... pulled out the crown again and it seems that it broke off the stem.... I am sending it back to the dealer .. but out of curioustiy is this a common problem with this watch or movement? sssurfer had a solution but it is a bit too late for me to ask now since the crown is no longer part of the stem.... Feedback please..
