  1. The Zigmeister, No disrespect meant by my original post. I understand about the complexity of the movement and the servicing cost involved. I just read about a few folks that seemed to have gotten the service for much less. You can't blame me for trying to see if there was an alternative because of my logic between a rep and genuine. However, in my follow up post I did state that I'd probably go with you in the future as I also indicated in my follow up PM. You're also right about your servicing price to be a deal in the "real world". The watchmaker I've used in the past to service my chrono's does indeed charge an "arm and a leg" for the full chrono service. I look forward to dealing with you in the future. Rennwerkes
  2. Yeah, can't quite understand the lack of feedback on this issue. There's quite a bit of discussion on this issue but not much on specifically servicing it and who to send it to. I've heard of some folks doing it for around $100 which is fine for me since it's a rep. I can see spending $200+ on a genuine piece but am a little hesitant about spending that much to service a rep. But it seems as though The Zigmeister is the only watchmaker that I could find that services the rep's and knows about the problems of the seconds at 12 movement. From what I understand it just requires a servicing and need to periodically service the movement about every five years. Not bad, given the alternative is to through the watch away.
  3. Yeah, I think I'll be going with The Zigmeister. But heard from a few posters that others are doing the service for quite a bit less but no feedback so far. Seems as though The Zigmeister is one of the more reputable folks around but service costs reflects that. Actually, I'm kinda surprised that there aren't more posts on servicing. With all the mods everyone wants to do I'd have thought there'd be more discussion on servicing and servicing costs and who's good and whose not. Oh well...
  4. I've had issues with products I've bought before and usually never get a response back to my questions. Funny how quickly I get a response when I want to buy something. This one was bought from the original owner and I'm guessing he got it from Angus.
  5. I lucked out with my ROO (seconds at 12) dying after only a few weeks of ownership. Didn't do my homework before buying. I've searched a bit but can't find my info on folks that service these watches. I see folks posting that they've had their watches by "so and so" but not much of anything else. Being a rep. I really don't want to spend much on the servicing and have seen folks mention that their service cost roughly $100 or maybe just a bit more. Can anyone provide some advice on who's done good work and is preferably in the US? TIA!
  6. Folks, have been out of rep's for a while and have only had Panerai's in the past. But recently the Conquistador has caught my eye, especially since it seems as though many consider it to be one of the the most accurate rep's available. Can anyone offer any additional advice? I know to get the one with the correct movement, I think it was a 2892 or a 2982? TIA!
  7. Yup, still using my PAM on a semi daily basis and am amazed with these rep's! Keeping fantastic time, (probably better than some very expensive authentic watches I've had!), and looking great too boot! One thing, the one tip off that these watches are rep's is the crystal with no antireflective coating on them. Any suggestions on this? Thanks!
  8. It's actually not a big deal. And you're right, probably not worth the extra $$$'s. Once it's locked in place everythiing is good!
  9. I think I"m referring to the wrong part. I'm talking about the crown locking mechnism. The lever is a bit on the flimsy side. A bit loose too. But then again, it's the same way on my 212 also.
  10. Just received my PAM 4 today. Being my first rep. I thought I'd submit a few comments on this watch. This particular model is, as I understand, from EL and comes with the Swiss movement. The PVD finish is not bad. Quite even in the coloring. In some of the pics I've seen there seems to be some blotchiness but does not seem to be the case when you've got the watch in hand. Winding is good although not quite the same as the real thing. Hard to describe, not a big irritation, just not the same. I think everything else about the body is top notch. The only thing that I'm just a tad disappointed is the bridge. A bit on the flimsy side. To me, the rep. manufacturers get everything else so right but the one thing that everyone is going to touch constantly is flimsy. Oh well...still amazing for the money!!! Now to start playing with my 212 I got from King!!!
