Tech was good enough to sell his super rep 27a to me as a newbie. I've worn it nearly every day for a few years now, and it's put my 2 gen Rolexes out to pasture... LOVE this watch:

THIS is how an addiction starts....gorgeous watch and just the journey i'd like to begin. I know the first answer to all my questions is "read the boards for a couple of weeks", but where would I start (reading or contacting) to start sourcing some key ingredients (quality dial, eta movement, etc)? Thanks in advance for any education here.

Thanks for the help! Off to secure a 351....

Thanks for the info--any preferences on 351 suppliers? Henry Lee at Tswiss Henry claims he carries the 118, but it looked like it was not a tobacco dial on the website? Any knowledge here?

All, first post, so please be kind.... I bought a very cheap PAM 36 a few years ago and love the watch, which began my Panerai obsession. I've since bought a superfranken 27A from Tech on this very site and LOVE it, and now want to upgrade my 36 into something more believable so I can wear it more often. I live in Switzerland, so am around people who know their watches, and am concerned about even a high-quality 36 as the gen is so expensive. Enough babbling: do any of you know how to obtain even a cheap PAM 118 or 61 so I can still have the tobacco dial? I prefer a high-quality one, but if needed will buy a cheap one for the face and build my own franken over time. Any help or advice MUCH appreciated. Unfortunately, the addiction is growing stronger.....

I'm new to the forum--How do I contact BK? And does he have anything from Panerai that's as good quality as the Yachtmaster?
