Hey Folks,

Is anyone aware whether the good folks in the factories are manufacturing Bell & Ross BR 01-92 cases with functional screws vs the outline of the 4 hex screws on the back? I would be very interested in procuring just the case and screws if it's possible.

Cheers,

M.

The strap is from strappedfortime.com....

Fantastic, I'll have a look around their site. Cheers!

Brilliant, love, love the combo! Way to go! Did you get the strap from watchworx (the motorsport)?

Vary nice review dovo, envious of your purchase. Wear it in good health!

This movement is pretty much identical, as far as I can see:

Fantastic watch, can't wait to get mine from Josh in a few weeks.

I'd have to say I get pretty excited about excellent reps this fine community really gets behind and have picked up quite a few already. I think it would be hard to pick an exit watch as the manufacturers are always coming out with new designs. As tastes change and with the need to "try things out", it's become a journey and not a destination.

I'd like to thank all the fantastic folks here on RWG, I am so happy I found this forum!

Smoking hot! Who is that?

Back from the spa up north.

This was one of my first projects as a n00b and so it went through a long and strange pilgrimage.

I think it took slightly more than a year in all while I got distracted by other projects.

Born probably in GZ... from Joshua.

First for Vaclume almost a year ago.

Then, crystal went for Ajoe AR (1st and only successful run)

When I finally got down to it, it headed to the northern spa to pamper (service) the fickle A7750 engine and swap to ETA DDWs.

Low quality due to undying devotion to Steve Jobs... (puny iPhone 3GS camera)

Looks great! I'm about to start a 3717-01 project myself.

She's a beauty Lani! My fiddy doesn't get nearly enough wrist time.

If you could let me know which type of rep would most benefit from this movement (Rolex GMT, IWC, etc.) I may be in for 1 as well.

Sent in a report as well. People are actually bidding on this!

Nice when one piece from the collection gets a lot of wrist time.

Thanks gents, I knew posting here would turn up a font of knowledge. It was an open face tourbillon PAM.

The size of the case was the same as my fiddy though, it looked pretty big on this guys wrist. I was happy that I could spot a PAM so easily, saw a few Breitlings and a couple of TAGs in the room as well, it was a really dull meeting.

So I'm in a high profile meeting with a few execs from another organization today and what do I spot on the arm of one of the Senior VPs but a Panerai Tourbillon. It was complete with a PAM rubber strap.

After a little research it looked almost like this (without the date window):

The only PAM I could find that was close was a rep...

Thoughts?

I only deal with Andrew and I haven't noticed an increase on existing stock. New models may command a higher price though, depending on what you're looking for...

I have to agree with Lani, I've bought 8 reps recently though this has been on my wrist the entire week. The 3135 clone has kept perfect time, right out of the box. I just need an better bezel insert, servicing, sealing and water testing and it won't be off my wrist for some time. It is unbelievably comfortable to wear and isn't that huge on my wrist (though I'm 6'8", so my fiddy isn't that huge either).

Awesome work Lani, thank you very much! I received my DSSD from Andrew the other day, wearing it daily now, and am very happy though the 10 spacing does bother me. To resolve I've just turned the bezel about 2/3 the way around so that the 10 isn't very noticeable near the 6:00 to the casual observer.

Awesome, my watch is on the mail truck on it's way right now! I have waited what seems like an eternity to get this on my wrist. Will try to snap a few photos and post an impression this evening when I get home from work.

btw: I allways woundered whether the gen prohunter deepsea got a black or a silver valve.

Never found a good pic of the gen valve....

I believe it's DLC coated as well. There's a pic in this thread on rolexforums

That phantom PAM is completely sick! Wow, you've really inspired my imagination. I'd love to get into a project like that! Well done!

Supremely jealous over here...ordered just after Lani posted his review and it may get here before Christmas... :| Enjoy yours and wear it in good health!
