thanks

too many combinations, too many watches to make head spin, almost impossible to pick one you like ,  I would own all but when would one have time to wear them all  ?  : (

i think i ll pick up a pro hunter dssd and call it a day .

any one make a rep of that one?  I asked Marry she said she has it for 240,   but now i m starting to think it will look different.

which dealer did you get that photo from?  the 2nd one?   I want to get one for my self

wow  the 2nd one , with white looks amazing,  I wish i did not see that lol,    might have to get one now !

thanks guys, had to sell all of my bk wm9s , even my modded wm9 v2 with gen crystal crown and insert and tc 2 bracelet. but this is trully a nice watch. I think i will get a rolex someday, but right now i cannot justify spending over 4-5 k for a gen, I still kept my fav pam 236k rep which is now 250 since i put it on leather . my original 001 pam from 7 yrs ago now on a gen burgundy croc strap, and a 1950 slightly modded . for now i am satisfied, although i do want a pro hunter dssd , let me know if you have one to let go into a nice home

finally decided to get one. Very nice watch. I use to have seamaster which i sold 6 years ago for about 750 bux. Now its worth 2x if not 3x the price ; (

so this one is probably going to be a lifelong keeper. nice build, versatile . I would like it in auto with date, but would not be as authentic to original one.

i paid about 3k for it in LIKE new condition. I think its not a steal, but not a bad price.

Best part is serial starts with 777 , my lucky #s.

is it better to get screws re-tapped or get this case and put all that parts into it? pam 1950

check this out. what do you guys think ? pretty nice right? looks like a new watch to me.

wow, the 236k pam looks amazing on an all black MP strap. like a new watch. much nicer than on a gator . I put the burgundy gator on my OLD 001 pam and it looks nice. i ll show pictures if i get chance to take eventually.

i think i ll get a gen /aftermarket black gator sometime too. for variety. but for the 236k pam i think either metal bracelet or gunny strap would be best.

Looks sweet!

I actually like that color on aligator but haven't found too many I liked,

Would love to see photos on your watch when you get it.

i think i ll actually use this strap on my OLD 001 pam i got 7 years ago. do you guys think it fits the pam 250 , or keep it as 236k on a metal strap. I think it looks better on metal strap.

Cat is genuine btw and u can see my new kicks in last picture. I like them , slip on Onitsuka mexico 66

how is the quality? my crown guard screws stripped, thinking about getting this instead of getting them rethreaded etc (which costs 40 plus shipping)

i have old school 127, i always thought its too big , and i kept hitting it when walking around. Tried to sell it, but it had problems. So i just wore it and got the MOST compliments than any of my other watches. So decided to keep it.

only problem now is, the crown guard screws stripped, got to send it out to get fixed. I also have it on gunny . looks nice. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilyailya few pics of it.

any way to confirm its gen? i never saw a rep of this color though

also where can i get a nice deployant for it, without going gen. ( I read that the rep is almost identical to gen is that right? ) thanks

wanted one for while. so finally found one . got it for a bit less than wanted on ebay. so i think its good deal.

what you guys think?

can some one suggest a good place to get a deployant for it?

will be worn with either my pam 001 that i got 7 years ago or my 236k making it a 250?

thanks

I want

deff no photos. checked on 2 computers Pete drank a bit much before he posted it. btw Pete wearing your pam today. LOVE THAT THING. i bet you MISS it... hope all is well we got to chat soon

do you know what it says on face? I m guessing you do , but just FYI for others it says OCEAN in Russian.

Russian watches are starting to sell a lot . On home shopping networks as well.

best way to make a rep bracelet feel betteR? some one suggested baby oil for24 hrs? or low grade sand paper?

I keep going back and fourth thinking about this.

Some days I want to go and buy a gen, but other days i look at rep and say to my self," a gen would not make me feel any better. It probably would make me feel worse since i spent so much $ on it."

some people buy 1 watch, and enjoy wearing it EVERYwhere which is quite fine, but like most of us; we like VARIETY. IF i wanted a variety of gens, it would cost WAY too much $.

I find it easier to buy a rep, and if you don't like it, can sell it w/o loosing too much $. Gen you can do that as well, but there you are dealing with thousands, not hundreds of $$. and sometimes you can take a hit. ( and you have thousands tied up). Similar concept with lease/buy yes you can buy and probably save in long run, but you will have thousands of dollars tied up in the car, until you sell it. but leasing, all you are doing is putting little bit of money each month. (yes will run more in long run) but you are not tying up all that cash at once, so you can use it for more important things etc.

But in end, i think a lot of us want change/options. We strive to acquire new things that we want. A lot of times once we get them, we don't really want them any-more. You can go and buy a gen Sub/etc tomorrow, but once you bring it home, in a week or 2, you will say, i want something else. So now you would need to sell it to fund another one. Whereas with rep, even if you tired of it, you can still order another rep to keep you occupied, and put the first one aside, till you start to want it again . If I sold all of my watches, i could probably buy a nice Rolex, Pam etc. But i would be stuck with just 1 watch. Now i have a few, and i like it that way. will i ever get a gen? probably, thinking about a speedmaster pro ( cant decide which edition ). but for now reps are great for me and been fairly reliable as well ( my first pam 001, is still ticking after 6 years.)

and like others said, its a hobby and being part of a group. learning. interacting etc.

gnight

Happy Birthday Mate. all the best!

how much those run nowdays? looks gen 2 me too

great looking watch. better than 50-90k one? ? absolutely got to be crazy to spend that much on a watch .

i might get a modded one someday from forum as daily , but for now enjoying my bk wm9
