Looks legit.

His description is totally different than what the clasp markings say. I have the same clasp too! LOL

...on eBay. Where else? From a reputable seller too!

I contacted the seller. He has both styles of datewheels....open 6-9 and closed 6-9. You can see them in his eBay store.

My next is a Panerai. Probably a DSN 203a or maybe a PT 360. I like the 040 too. I wish they'd rep the 380. But, before this, I have to finish 3 watches I'm working on.

Who's case is that? What size of dial does this case take?

This watch is no different mod-wise than the $250 Swiss equivalent. Having it cost $100 doesn't make it any less of a candidate for modding, even if you do add $700 worth of parts to it. We're only interested in the case itself.

Are the 203a and 004 Cases the Same? Was anything changed on them such as the lug shape?

How about this, grifter?

Would one of those Silix sub cheapies work? The pics show a DWO with the open fonts.

Damn. My $20K was outbid.

Unbelievable review!

Okay. Now it's starting to grow on me.

Who's going to look in your watch?

I'm putting my $20K bid in!

I drill out my serial numbers. That way, it looks like I purchased the watch on the grey market.

That yellow one is hideous! On a second look, I think it would improve if the strap was a nicer colour. That black seconds hand is kinda strange; almost like they ran out of white hands or something. Thanks for the pics and the history! Did these Pre-V watches use the low-beat 6497?

Isn't that a 5218-203a?

I can't seem to find any pics of this PAM anywhere using Google search. Does anybody have any pics they'd like to share?

How else did you think they were made? By Italian elves? It takes skills to program the computers and then convince heavy-weight actors to wear your timepieces in public! Stallone doesn't come cheap, you know!

What's that scraping tool he used to brush the lugs with? OMG! I want that hand-setting tool!

Why didn't anybody buy that new 45mm PO dial that was on eBay for $145? Considering how much Ofrei and Cousins sells it for, you'd think one of you woulda snapped it up!
