Hi friends So here it is, I ordered a Panerai 237H a few weeks ago from Josh. I must say I am very pleased so far. All seems to be in order, the quality is extremely good, nice and crisp dial, good date mag, good crown guard. The watch keeps excellent time although only tested for a few days. Blah Blah Burp. No seriously, anyone sitting on the fence, I am sure you would be happy too. A great watch for resonable price

Hi Danielv2000 I like to look after my watches so I am careful when wearing. It was a daily for many years, now it gets odd evenings and weekends.

Hi All It's been quite a while since I was last here. Just a few words to say hello and I am glad I have returned. It looks like the factories have been improving things, especially the Pam's. As this is the Rolex area, here is a picture is of my anniversary LV (Taken today) which I have had for nearly 8 years. The watch has and still is serving me well, it's in pristine condition and keeps almost perfect time. It's been so long I have forgotten the full details, I remember it has a Swiss movement with 28,800bph. I guess It's time for a change. Best to you all Simon.

Thanks Guys. It's not looking good for a pre-service. I would still like to hear MD2020's report. Best to you all. Simon

MD2020, thats interesting to know. I, and would guess others on the forum would certainly like to read a report on wether a service has been performed on a watch when paid for prior to being despached. This would give us more trust in the dealers.

Hi all I am embarking on a new purchase. I have been away from the RWG for a long time and recently decided to purchase some new toys. Many moons ago I bought pieces from Eddie Lee and TDK, I still have one from Eddie, lasted 5 years but the movement is now playing up. I am now looking at Pam's. I see they have come a long way over the last 5 years. I have read that the 7750 and 53 movements really need a good service when received from dealers. My question is, has anyone had their watch serviced directly from dealer before sending the watch. I see some dealers are advertising this on their website . I know I could get a watch serviced after receiving it, but then It has to be shipped away again and more expense. Guys, let me know your experience Best regards Simon

Yes I remember some of you, only the Avatar's have changed

Yes you do. I have bought from you in the past (Pen) Still have it by the way. Also I will be in Bkk this NOVEMBER so maybe we can have a drink I am also a member of the RC Nice to hear from you 5imon

Just saying hello to everyone, I was here on the old RWG (Same name) went away for a while and have come back. Things have changed since I was last here Rolex playing second fiddle to Panerai etc. I hope to meet some of you new folks & maybe some old ones remember me to regards 5imon
