  4. 329 Prototype

    in The Panerai Area

    Even with the flaws on the dial... This one appears to be a better replication than the 359 already... I'll hold final judgement until the CG photos are released.

    I don't think the CG will be that different from the 359. Previous comments in other threads have identified the full stops between the REG. T.M. markings to be circular instead of square. Bracelet is fantastic though, clearly some effort to make that work.

    PeteM identified the 2 (in the 12), 9 and 6 numerals which were the most obvious tells. It makes me wonder, the factories must be using a CAD package and CNC to draw and machine these, how hard is it to draw the right shape FFS? The design of the digits is not particularly complex... It really irks me, if they just do it properly the first time, there won't need to be 'prototypes'!

    What do we think of the SDW? Seems to be a little worse than the Gen 312/320. Bracelet really looks fantastic, but getting the dials spot on will be harder. Need to see the CG at some stage too!

    Best advice would be to buy the one you like rather than one that's the 'best' rep. None of them are exact 1:1 anyway, all have some flaws. Just get the one you like mate, you're going to have to look at it!

  8. New Gen. SA Dial

    gotta be the catch of the year !

    White batons go for a little less as the darker colours are generally more popular, but 109 bucks is bordering on ridiculously cheap... Great find, and the resulting franken will nondoubt look fantastic! Congrats, wear it well!

    Just got this from Angus...Looking good I think :)

    Pete, are you having us on? :) unless that's the fourth prototype and suddenly the 359 issues got magically ironed out, AND you're in bed with Angus (wait, I'm not saying...that you're...anyway...), that picture right there is one mightily unfair April Fool's :)

    You could get him an MBW 1680 or 1665, that way when he sends it back to you it will be vintagized. Seriously, a 1665 on nato should be pretty resilient.

    You could get him to offer the forum a 'mods' service. None of this 'throw the watch in a plastic baggie with keys, nails etc and shake vigorously' business, he could offer authentic vintagizing services :)

    Sweet! Thanks for the info. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    I am considering the Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi with Mic Remote, mainly because I need the mic. Anyone knows the bass on this one? :)

    For that price range, have a look for the Super.Fi4 vi series in the Bay... Ignore the boxed sets and look for the OEM packaged ones, they are of much higher quality and the total incl. Shipping can be had for less than $45-50. And the bass is very, very good plus they are noise-canceling.

    Good luck!

    I was just reading some of Watch Snobs write up about Baselworld 2011, when this caught my eye...

    With customary fireworks, TAG Heuer made a splash with the introduction of its latest concept watch, the Mikrotimer, proving that the company is emerging from its long coma. The watch is a real step forward in chronograph technology, with a balance-free escapement that oscillates at 3.6 million vibrations per hour, allowing the chronograph to keep time to 1/1000th of a second -- a first for a mechanical watch. Never mind that the reaction time of the human finger is far less than this, rendering the watch useless.

    Ken :D

    Great find, and so true. But isn't that by definition the embodiment of their 'Avant Garde' philosophy of Tag?

    We make timepieces so awesome they are beyond human requirement. Who doesn't want a watch like that?! :)

    1.I don't have a chance to see the document, much less agree on my own, and I'm expected to be bound by it?

    2. One of the murderers in holding cell asked me, "What were you arrested for, kid?"

    And I said, for"Filesharing" and Rolex from Canal street.

    And they all moved away from me on the bench...

    I'm going to hazard a guess, judging by your command of the English language, that you're a lawyer. I trust the words of my builder, my dentist, and my lawyer, and if you're worried, then I'm worried.

    Having had a quick skim through the text, I'm not sure how this relates to counterfeit ptoducts, but it shows the future direction of trademark infringement. The OP is right; it's not pretty.

    Havign said that, I fell asleep after the fourth page, this document is better than a sleeping pill... :)

    Schaize und bananen :)

    Scheiße und Bananen! Meine Fresse, du Balkanischen Mensch! :)

    Haha peace out to all the Balkan brothers on RWG, I can sense you all, I can smell the Kopus through the Internet connection :)

    Sorry Ken, but you missed the mark on this one, the OP was right to post this in the PAM forum :)

    Word on the street is that Panerai have launched an all-out DDoS attack on Angus due to his soon-to-be-released 312/320/328/329/358? smorgasbord...

    And Repgeek, well, those Spartans are all back in the Bronze Age... :)

    I kid, I kid, who knows what's going on... In all seriousness I hope RepGeek and the dealers get back up soon.
