  3. i am sure everyone knows the trivia ... thought i would post it anyway ... he came to the old world gym when we were on the Ala Wai ... he is like 5'3" amazing what camera angles can do ... i am at Lanikai juice or morning brew every morning .. been a member since last year but never took time to check out the threads... burnt out on watching dvd's ....
  4. OP History ... no sh_t year.. 1995 A special edition of watches is created. Sly is the nickname of actor Syvester Stallone, A great admirer of the watch, who had requested a special edition called Submersible to use during the shooting of the movie Daylight. Subsequently, Stallone requested an edition with a white dial, named Daylight, and a personalized re-edition of the Mare Nostrum. All of these watches bear the actor's signiture engraqved on the back.... taken from OP time line History From Hawaii
  5. came to Hawaii years ago and worked out one day at World gym .... he is actually like 5 ft. 3 or 4 inches ... amazing what camera angles will do

  7. thanks for the pics.... looks good ... i'm trying to get a clear colour image
  8. any feed back on the PAM 089 TI Anthracite grey dial... besides the obvious date wheel and mag ..... i like the contrast of TI and Anthracite grey... thinking of getting one ...... trying not to dwell on the date wheel ... iknow life's a [censored] ..... then you marry one......
  9. Stallone was one of the first if not the first in Hole Wood to wear Panerai's
  10. which dealer did you get the 192 from?
  11. that's really col ..iwas wondering today how to get the metal oxidized ... oxi clean is supposed to supply more oxigenated carbonation to regular soap.. wonder what other chemical can be used just by applying with a brush .. wonder if oxiclean will work by just brushing it on after boiling it... maybe i will try that with a ti watch i have that i was going to change the movement on .. sure looks like the genuine TI ... great job...
  12. yeh ... pubus is right,... i ran into a doctor at a juice bar and he had on a gen. titanium 199 submersible ... i had the 127 fiddy on and he didn't know what it was (model)...and he said he was a collector ... i said i was too LOL. ... did not tell him a collector of REPS ... plus he said he got it for only 2000 usd .... said he has a contact in LA Beverly Hills ...gotta find out where cause he was wearing the 2004 commemorative edition titanium submersible ... it was Genuine .. or his guy has really good date wheels... HA,HA
  13. can't get a true fix on the exact lume colour on the daylight chrono's .... light shade of green ... dark green lume ... more on the white side ... Genuine Panerai web site has specs but nothing on the lume colour?????? Lanikai
  14. yeh .... i got a 199 on the way ... but there are some models where if there was the correct font on the date wheel it would look .... OUTSTANDING ... THERE SUPPOSED TO BE MORE "PROJECTS IN THE WORKS" lanikai
  15. now i can go ahead and order that colour .... didn't think it would look that good on the fiddy ... thanx rolli.. lanikai
  16. thanks for the reply ... is finepics a member .. i never ran into him on the dealer boardand yes the mag is also way off ... but for now i would be happy with the datewheel with somewhat more acceptable font.... you would think that the makers would put a little more effort into this area ... it is such a glaring "flaw" ... i know we are talking about reps here but i wouldn't be wearing it if it looked like an obvious "fake"... i generally like other colour straps with PVD's but the gator you have on is a nice contrast ... not just black on black ...
  17. anyone have any contacts for date wheels ... ETA or whatever movements .. after viewing the genuines and then looking at the fonts on the Reps. i really want to get something at least close to the right font... fat like the font on the page numbers of sports illustrated... if anyone can lead me to these i would really appreciate it. lanikai
  18. what we need to remember is .. and I do mean we because we all at risk.. the dealers more so...we need to protect our sources...I choose to do business with the dealers.. I am not coerced in any way to buy reps.. many of the dealers live in country's where penalties are huge... and if someone is going to "rat" because they are acting like a spoiled child..one stupid act could have everyones pay pal account pulled....i was in a situation where customs agents knocked on my door for something entirely different, (product) they wanted names and threatened jail and what not.... they didn't get anything because it was my decision to do what I did .. my friends where never mentioned... problems need to be kept in house..solutions can be forth coming.... I do business with people I trust and hopefully trust me, remember we are by law in a business that is illegal in some way... we are not out to rip anyone off or profit by reselling the reps.. this is for personal satisfaction..so to the person who gave Andrew undue stress.. if that's what brings you satisfaction then remember you are acting illegally also.. i belong to other forums not watch related and never have posted any comments because opinions sometimes are like assholes and I don't need someone talking trash over the net... cowardly is the only word that comes to mind.. but I feel compelled to do this because we would all suffer.. sometimes you need to bite the bullet for the good of everyone else... bottom line I was alway's taught...
