My original post was a year ago so you are correct about finepics, he's not working as far as i know. I have the correct caseback for the pam40 exept for the number of watches made stamped on back. The gen pam40 were up to 200 and my caseback goes to 3000. Thats the only thing on the watch besides the little lines where it says T-dial-T that an pam expert could say is diffrent from the gen "as far as looks anyway" Thanks, Wan

Does anyone out there have a fully modded pam40 rep i can compare mine to? Mark (finepics) did a hell of a job on this watch and i'd like to know if there are any other pam40's out there that come close to this one? Thanks, Wan

I agree!!!!!!! I had to go to Mark (finepics) to get my perfect T-dial and it was not cheap. I had Mark build me a spot on perfect pam40 rep, it has all the mods needed to be the best rep in my collection. If someone can somehow get Mark's opinion on this, im sure he would be of great help to this project. "if anyone takes it on" and i really hope someone does....... Also, if intrested.......I will be posting the pam40 for sale here on the forum soon....so, heads up Cheers, Wan

Thanks for the info B16a2, i will definately keep my pam40 then, i dont think it gets any better than this anyway................And Mark if you are still checking in here at RWG? Come back!!!!!! Please!!!! Cheers, Wan

I have a dead on perfect pam40 i had Mark (Finepics) make for me a while back that i am considering selling ONLY if he is currently taking work. Can anyone tell me if he has been working lately? I know what his status was 6 months ago, (taking it easy and not taking any new work but i have not heard as of late) I would appreciate any info. If he is not active and not taking any new work on, there is no chance in hell i would sell my pam40, but if he is..... i will post it for sale to fund my next finepics beauty. Thanks, Wan

My rep 005 which has a custom dial done by Mark (finepics) looks just like the genuine one in the pic above. That OP logo on the gen looks just like the one on mine. To me the Davidsen 005 OP logo looks more like the logo he used on his 5218-201A. The logo seems more like he tried to make it look the way they did it back in the preV days. Also, the word Panerai seems to be further away from the cannon pinion on Davidsen's 005 than the gen does, thats might be the reason why the logo's looking diffrent to me. "an optical illusion" Either way Davidsen's 005 is an amazing rep, its so close to a gen that only freaks like us would ever spend this much time comparing reps to reps and reps to gens......LOL Thank you all for helping my day go by faster and more intresting with your great posts and pics. Cheers, Wan

Is there anyone still selling the ceramic big bang? if so, who? If not, why? Thx, Wan

I emailed the seller to ask the caseback# and he said it was 117 (so i was right!!!! FAKE)

Please check this out and if it turns out to be a rep i hope somebody saves these bidders from a expensive mistake by reporting this to ebay. If its genuine then my eyes are getting old.... Ebay item # 110203388046 Let me know what you think? Thanks, Wan

If anyone feels like checking them out and confirming my claim, please let me know what you think? ........and report them to ebay "just do a search for Hublot Big Bang on ebay"

Dont you think it would be easy to make one now? "white hands" are the only parts i have not seen being made. Yet...........................Thanks, Wan

Well i took the watch to my local watch guy that i have used for many rep mods and repairs and he could not manage to get the 7750 movement & face out of the case from the back to fix the prob. The movement & face were fit soo tight in the case that he felt that it would break trying to remove it. He also tried to go in from the top, "bezel & crystal" but it would not budge. So, i have sent it back to Angus. He said that he would replace it for a new one. "He's a good guy" When i get a new one i will post my thoughts on how this one is. I am thinking of buying a swiss valjou 7750 to put in the new one to get rid of the jittery second hand. "if the new one jitters" (Also, i noticed on the gen watch there is the name Chopard written on the automatic spinning weight in addidion to what the reps say along the edge......................Cheers, Wan

OOPs, i will repost in the requests section unless a mod can throw it over there. Thanks for the heads up............r11co

First of all.. "Fantastic post on the Chopard Mille Migilia gran tourismo XL w/7750" The problem i am having is, the movement and face are weged soo tight inside the case, i cant seem to get them out without feeling like i am going to break something in the process. "Did you have this problem?" If so, how did you manage to get them out of the case safely?............ Thanks, Wan

please PM me and let me know what you have. Thanks, Wan

I have the same problem with the jerky second hand, it really bugged me until the watch hands went totally limp. Now that REALLY bugs me. I do not think these were made very well, i have the older version also with the Asian 21J and it's movement is solid as a rock. I wish the ultimate version worked as good as it looks..............Wan

My hour and minute hands fell off there tracks that held them in place. They now just spin around freely. Is this a easy fix for a watch repair person or should i try and get an exchange? Thanks for any help? Cheers, Wan

I would love to know that as well.........anyone?

It seems to have been down since yesterday..............anyone know whats up?

http://cgi.ebay.com/GRIDIRON-GANG-SEAN-JOH...1QQcmdZViewItem Check out this scammer trying to pass off this really bad fake as a real movie prop watch. You would think they would have The Rock wear the real thing or at least a good copy.I have seen pics of him wearing a real Panerai so, what do you think? I think the seller has found an angle to rip people off. And it seems to be working..............I hate scammers!!!!!!!................Wan

Looks like the only diffrence is the ceramic bezel. I wonder if we can just buy the ceramic bezel for those of us with a stainless steel version?...............Wan

I have been trying to report this at ebay but it will not let me finish. If anyone else can try im sure the $1900 bidder would appreciate it..........Cheers, Wan

The scammer even has a fake apprasial posted on his ad. The bid is up to like $1,900 I hate scammers

I really like Chris Cornell and think his solo album is great but Soundgarden was one of the best rock bands ever. I remember when i first listened to the album "Bad motor finger" I lost my [censored], and have never been the same since............cheers, Wan

Someone really needs to inform ebay about this listing ( 130095779411 ) Read what he says about being carefull to look out for scammers selling reps. Then look at his pics..........SCAMMER!!! Or you can go directly to the page- http://cgi.ebay.com/Panerai-PAM-177_W0QQit...1QQcmdZViewItem
