Congratulations guys. Its very much deserved for each of you.
A great selection by the Admin and a great representation of all thats good about this forum. I am pleased for you all guys
Ken, that would only be a true test for them if you placed a "Do Not Press This Button" sign next to it
Congrats mate, I hope you both have a great day
I also hope you have squirreled away enough watch funds to last a few years
As for a watch - How about a Daytona
Blimey freddy are you one of those modern men !! Or have you been brainwashed
Thanks Andy.
As he said he knew nothing about watches, I dropped him a friendly message. I got this reply. So I replied that based on his reply I would report it.
Ive had a few people tell me that but my grandfather bought this watch at the Panerai store and when i brought it in to get serviced they told me it was real but would be about 200 to service it unless i was the one who bought it. i really do not want to screw anyone over so thank you for the heads up..
I agree with Ken and some of the other guys here
Love the "getting off the porch" allegory
What ever you decide mate, good luck But its your choice as it has been and is for all of us
Its the same old story mate with these new versions with 7753s.
They are definitely coming and there a quite a few mnodels being upgraded but precisely when is not going to get a straight answer. You could try asking TB or the like he tends to hear before most on these type of models.
The problem is the number of movements available at the moment the factories cant produce them fast enough for the PAMs so while these are selling hard and fast its unlikely to find any making there way into other models, it really needs the sales of these to slow down before we see them coming out in the other models
But really it just comes down to checking the updates on Andrew Josh or PureTime (as sometimes he has been quicker to post on the less well known reps)
I had this question when I bought mine as the versions varied with the Hibeat and Lobeat etc. Yours is the Low as you know but the High has Hublot on the Rotor
I found that Hublot actually did originally produce these with Hublot on the rotor arm then the later version which followed after the initial release had King Power.
Lovely watch You have the better hands
I have also seen a couple of gen links and screws being sold on the bay now and again
I guess guys just sell what they dont need once its sized, though I dont get why!!
PT has some nice pics of this rep compared to the ones on the main dealers, its not covered in watermarks and he took them himself I think.
It actually looks pretty good in his pics
Chris Despite my jealousy and my promise to myself I was never going to talk to you again !!
Can I ask that you take a pic of the DW on several dates showing the 1, 2, 5 , 9
Hope thats not to much to ask if its a prob mate just say or any closer DW pic would be great.
Your still a git though :)
I did on my V1 had no problems, also i think Zigs thread shows his under BL.
I think if you are someoine who wants to get the lume right then no matter the version you should get it lumed as with all rep Pams. No matter which version you have you still should service these movements so why not lume it and if needed get the sub hand cones done
@Polynomial - If you get a chance just post a few phone pics closer to dial, if you dont mind mate Dont worry on focus etc the colour will show through enough to make a judgement.
You have a few options mate
Vac can source for you, so i think can sead, etc
CousinsUK have them
You can get them direct from dealers, contact them direct
DSN will sell you one
Getat
JacksonTse
Plus a few Japanese rep parts sites etc
Mate Those are some great pics and nice write up. The quality certainly oozes from this watch by rep standards.
Congratulations and wear it well mate
Like Sq_pl if I didnt dislike the Rads I would buy this in a heart beat!!
I do like that deployant, is there any chance you could get a proper measure on the internal size of the reciever, I would like to know if it could strech to a 22mm :) If so I am having a couple
