Hi! This is my new EL PAM 111H - relumed and serviced + CP fixed. I really like it, the lume is great and the C

I just sent him another PM and will give him a chance to answer. If he doesn't, I'll get in touch with the staff and even Paypal. I still hope this turns out good... Edit: He just replied... said he shipped last Monday and seemed a little [censored] off that I threatened to inform the admin staff. Well, I can understand that - but on the other hand, had he just replied to one of my previous two PM, I wouldn't have got suspicious. Especially because he was online every day. Anyway, maybe I just expect too much... let's wait and see if the watch arrives.

Hi! I bought a watch from PrDubis on 2009/12/31, paid via PP on the same day. PrDubis told me, he would ship on the next monday, which would have been January the 4th. Well, nothing has arrived yet and shipping from France to Germany should be much faster. I wrote two PM to PrDubis and got no reply from him (although he HAS been online in the meantime). I also realized he has a lot of watches on offer in the trade section... seems to be a dealer. So, what's going on? Is this a scam? Any other members that have actually received a watch from him? Cheers Whatever123

Great idea, lani! Thanks for your effort - I'm sure we will see a great new addition to RWG!

I just bought two T48 from the last batch, so I'm out for now... sorry. Anyway - I'm curious to see the result on a watch!

Strange...

Great collection unreg! Thanks for sharing. Still a long way to go for me... but collecting is the real fun, not possessing... or isn't it? Cheers Whatever123

Yeah, they promised to sue me... I guess that would have been expensive and I can be happy that they didn't charge any fees or something like that. I didn't even know that Marina Militare was a Panerai trademark... otherwise I wouldn't have ordered overseas. You can even get them on eBay in Europe, but they're removed from time to time. I am also not sure if they are still so "nice" when there's Panerai written on the dial... that's why I will not take the risk again. Cheers Whatever123

Hi! The name "Marina Militare" definitely belongs to Panerai. I have been in contact with a german law office because one of my "Marina Militare" orders from Helenarou got seized by customs... They showed me a copy of the name registration form. I had to agree to the destruction of the watch and sign a form that I would never try to import fake Panerai products again. So I don't... and only trade inside EU. Not sure what would happen if they'd catch me again. The design (CG etc.) is not protected anymore as you can only do that for a specific time period which is over now. At least that's my understanding. Cheers Whatever123

Veeeeerrryyyy nice! I must say that I really like it with double AR... I think they should start Double-ARing the gens as well.

I'm also in for 2!

And you're sure it's ultimate?

You may have a point there... But the serial can be changed easily, the movement not...

That's stupid... it can't be so difficult to make at least a short selection of serial numbers, can it?

Of course - but unfortunately the beauty is still on the way - I'm afraid it will not reach me before Christmas. But I'll post some pics as soon as I've got it!

Hi! Is anyone out there doing custom see-through casebacks for PAMs? I just bought a highly modded 111h and about the only thing that's nagging me ist the serial on the caseback... why on earth do they all have number "0035/2000"? Are there any H-series casebacks with a different serial on the market? Best thing of course would be if someone does custom jobs... I am sure a lot of members are interested. Cheers Whatever123

Thanks! But I'm afraid, my modding will not go much further... normally I'm all thumbs if it comes to DIY...

By the way... encouraged by RWG I tried the hot glue fix on this one today, together with a bit of CG modding. I'm quite satisfied with the result - I think it's definitely better than before. What do you think?

No idea... got it from another member just recently...

Got one of those, too - but the brown dial version. Although it is of course far from being close to the gen, especially the movement, I really like it. And I think the brown BOB strap fits it quite well. Cheers Whatever123

Hi! I haven't read the whole thread yet... but does Domenico do a) re-lume AR coating ? Thanks Whatever123

Hmmm... anyone doing lume jobs in Europe? I did sone searching but wasn't successful yet...

lanikai, you have to get rid of that translation program... I really don't know, what you are talking about, the translation doesn't make sense at all... On the other hand... that's extremely funny if you can speak german! Cheers Whatever123

Thanks for your feedback! I finally managed to do some better pics this afternoon, by the way. Here we go:

Thanks! So I bought a "correct" caseback, that's good news! I am thinking about re-luming... I think, the lume color is a bit too yellow'ish right now, isn't it?
