Thanks, great to see the details up close - I went N on this one! Glad I did too.

Stunning watch Z - what work will Spin do on it? Just curious since I was looking at the same watch myself.

Just read the other thread - guess he'll be working on aging it a bit eh?

Noticed that Josh has the new Sinn U2 Solebox LE listed (click twice to make link work). The color scheme looks totally off on the rep.

Anybody ordered it yet? Would be interested to see what it looks like in real life. Here's the gen:

Concepta's profits are almost certainly in the tens of thousands...

Is this what bothers you? Cause it seems like you have an axe to grind, and it's getting tiresome.

This topic has been addressed before, he has been a valued member here for many years and has contributed to the forum in many more ways than some "dealer" who is just out to make a fast buck. And also, I might add, a lot more than some people who have been around for 5 years or more and contributed sweet FA. Keep it up, and he'll stop coming here, and then IWC fans will have to look elsewhere for these rare OEM parts. Good luck!

Raise it with the mods then, and leave us alone

Well done Z, you dont want to become like these guys... "I'm not [censored]"!!!

I'm only passing on the message from a mod on RG in fact. They had a mail from him.

I'm in the same boat as you unfortunately - I've forgotten what those watches look like!

Francisco update: he is out of town till end-October for work. He's not taking on any new watch-related work at the moment, until he clears his backlog.

Thanks - tried to get it but they don't ship outside the US for this item

Top one seems to be the Noob V3, same serial as V3 at least. Don't see a serial on the other case, looks almost like it was photoshopped out.

Even the gen is fugly to me. I'll pass...

In answer to the op question, 288k is the best out of the box panerai rep.....

In your opinion

Seriously though - any one of the new releases would be a contender.

No AR mod needed, this is one of the best out of the box PAMs you can buy at the moment. Give yourself a pat on the back for snagging one, get yourself some handmade leather straps, and most importantly WEAR IT & ENJOY IT!

Looks like an Infiniti...

Liking the Noob 111M, if you can find it!

“Today, we gather to be reassured that God hears the lamenting and bitter weeping of Mother America because so many of her children are no more. Let us now seek that assurance in prayer for the healing of our grief stricken hearts, for the souls and sacred memory of those who have been lost. Let us also pray for divine wisdom as our leaders consider the necessary actions for national security, wisdom of the grace of God that as we act, we not become the evil we deplore.” - Rev. Nathan Baxter

Great report, thanks for taking the time. This new 104 looks like a winner!

Or the OP could do it - DENNIBOSS!!

I would go longer on the strap.

And can I suggest you try Panerai or Breitling if you like big watches. Even genuine UBoats are just terrible novelty items, sorry.

Who's gonna save the world tonight?

You are Mr. Admin! Keep up the good work! Whirled peas!

If you can find a dealer who will transact like this there is little to lose in trying someone new and perhaps adding a new "trusted dealer," especially one with Swiss movements (if that indeed checks out), as I have yet to find any "trusted dealer" who offers them across many makes and brands.

I think you're underestimating what it takes to become a Trusted Dealer on RWG. Please post pictures of your watch and the movement when you can, I'd be very interested to see what you got.

"we need new blood all the time" really? Between RWG and the other rep sights we have a very good collection of the best dealers In the business. They have proven themselves over and over again over the years... If you use one of the trusted dealers here and something go's wrong... The RWG staff/dealers and community at large will do everything they can to help get things sorted out. After knowing this, if someone still wants to try a new dealer,good luck.

My thoughts exactly.

Ripoff NY guido crap....use a dealer here...like Josh...IMHO

+1

Guys, FYI here is a shot of my gen 3717 (from an IWC AD) next to an all-rep one on the left.
