That is a real winner

Yes, I do. http://imgur.com/a/TtRGp

Replica .. quality chinese tourbys are 550USD and up.

Franck Muller replicas are mostly rectangular, and gen dials are not that hard to find. Conquistador? Long Island? Crazy Hours?

Yes that is eye-popping. Thanks for posting.

I hope you feel better. Welcome back.

Angus posted a 100 photo complete dissection of Gen, Noob, and H-Factory PAM for the last major release and it was obvious that the Noob was better executed.

I thought that was the pre-order only price?

Why not mail it to a trusted strap maker here??

The Zigmeister closed his shop to new customers many months ago. He has a 4 week backlog and decided to slow down the incoming watches and emails from prospective clients. He accepts new clients now only by personal recommendation from an existing client.

Id be interested to hear how these sound after the voice coils break in. Certainly 4 months of use is enough. So chime back in, purchasers!

Yes. Wait until you start reading post after post by angry newbs who didn't know about CNY. They will claim they are being ripped off, etc. happens every year.

Go out to the main, front page of RWG. The page with the live chat box at the top. scroll down halfway. There is a big dealer listing.

I dunno tho ... What justifies 400$+ on a 3 handed steel watch? If a Pam expert chimes in with facts backing up this high price, I would love to hear any valid reasons.

I bought my 1950 from Gliptopolis and I'm pretty sure it just a cartel model. The movement is a swan neck for sure.

The v6 and the v7 are PT's way of selling the TrevorTime model and the Noobfactory model. They aren't new. Although someone said a few months ago to expect a new revision. That could be complete BS tho.

Chinese New Year (CNY) stops everything dead for about 1 month ... no joke. Take your time deciding.

No, that is a standard Cartel rep ... before the new release. The PAM Lords here would tell you it's crap. Really beautiful crap.

TL / DR

I want one but I will wait for the PAM maniacs to weigh in on their received watches before I give away mine and buy a new one.

Don't use household lubricants inside of watches. They can spread by creeping from part to part until they contaminate something important. Use watch lubricants in a watch.

Most tools sold on eBay will be soft metal and wear out quickly. Be careful when you use them. If you go to the Watchbitz store here on this board, they sell an excellent toolkit with hardened steel tools for an excellent price. Even lower pricing of you identify yourself as an RWG member.

Yes of course

Perhaps some forum dealers will meet you there in person. You must ask them. If you try and get a good price there as a stranger, it will not work.
