Good Catch Pete

I would like to take credit mate but I saw it the other day on RG I reported it then so have others but nothing is happening so with time left I thought we could get some more reports over here where it matters

http://cgi.ebay.com/Used-PANERAI-Automatic-PAM-088-Rare-Clear-Back_W0QQitemZ320462880627QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWristwatches?hash=item4a9d137f73

Reported

Try to get hold of SSilver Surfers spreadsheet.I always found that to be really helpfull.

Its pinned on RG and RWI I think.

I tried that and unregistered's update but I couldnt open the download!!

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

Thats nice with the brown dial, where was it from?

I wonder if the high bidder is really pi...sed off that this bargain was removed right before he won it. He should be grateful that there are a few folks out here who care enough to spend their time trying to get the scammers off Ebay, and to protect the idiots who refuse to do their homework, and ignore all the warning signs that start with "if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't" Good work guys

Arthur

I dont suppose he will ever realise, if he was daft enough to bid he probably thinks the guy himself has stopped the auction!

I would give a few quid to be a fly on the wall at the sellers place, bang goes some of his Xmas plans!!

Item removed

Thanks guys

But Ebay took it to the wire!

Watches made between the "rebirth" of Panerai in 1993 to the acquisition of the company by the Vend

So really what your saying is... It isnt a model?

can you make more photos from your CG and CG-lever end? Is The lever-end round like a gen ?

Your CG ist the best REP-CG I've ever seen. Respect.!!!!

Is it an EL CG?

I bet they slip nicely into some stockings

Happy Crimbo to one and All

It was the other way for me I had gens then bought reps!! Still not sure why ?? Oh yeah I remember my eyes are bigger than my wallet!!

I do love a PVD PAM. But I want a Destro one!!

Nice watch thanks for the pics.

My votes for Lani.......But only because of the coconut cups and the over 60 eligibility!!!

I feel the same! I like the Batons as they give more of a professional look over the numeral, however I love the sub dial contrasts as on the arabic models.

I think we should form a support group to help us get through it!!

It is a much nicer dial..... as well as the batons I prefer the lume markers

I wont mind riding in the backseat!

Fair enough mate....but shes in the front!! I would rather be cleaning the windscreen!!

I made some comments Mercury.....mainly about how badly written they were!!

Sorry man! Baton dials only come with matching sub dials.

Thanks but thats a real shame!

You could of lied!!

There is the PAM 203 which was a small release with an Angelus 8-Day movement and is now selling north of $150K of which Lani's is a replica - genuine is a Tobacco brown dial, though.

and the PAM 5218-203/A (Pre-Vendome) which is a Pre-V Marina Dial in a PVD 44MM case.

Thanks Don,

So does this happen often with the model range? With the PVD model is A still referencing year?

And sorry but lastly what does the four digit number before 203/A signify? Is it just model? or case movement etc.

Thanks

Aren't they supposed to not have the silver rings around each dot? I kind of like it though.

I understood there were two editions apart from the subeditions of each

The originals were just tritium applied first in matt then in small logo. But the later edition in the 90's I think had the chrome surrounds.

I am sure Tech would know the fuller details and correct me

Well they have been saying that for a while now but even if it did, the big thing for me is I dont like the OR strap or any rubber strap. So I would like to get a Gen Pro1 either PVD'd or DLC'd so it would need to match the rep finish. If its DLC I would need to do watch as well.

Plus I dont know if doing a bracelet is practical for either finish. I was hoping from my post someone might have experience of doing it.

I have PM'd Avitt about the DLC side of it on advice of FxrAndy.

Thanks Lani

I do like that watch but just when I thought I was learning about PAM designations I am back to my original confusion.

This is designated a PAM 203 is it? My understanding was a PAM 203A was a PVD 44mm Prev Luminor Marina but the suffix A only related to year.

Does this form of designation mean something different here and if so is there an idiots guide to this somewhere? Just when I thought I had it!!! If this is the case why would Panerai designate it in this way when normally its just a straight forward number designation

For 138USD its a great rep watch.

Thanks, I dont know why but this seller has really got under my skin!

I reported again myself. I am not sure why they limit you to so few characters in the message box!

Whats VRO?

managed to get hold of him hopefully will be gettin a couple of PO's lumed up

If your going OEM lume have you looked at Domi at all. He's in EU

Where?? I must be blind!

May be I have just watched the intros to too many James bond films!!!

WoW, Thanks for sharing. Theres a lot of work in that. It looks great.
