I'm in for one for my 29.

Personally - I celebrate FESTIVUS!! Bring on the pole.

It's cheaper to get a new watch than a new wife.

I sold a GEN Panerai for FAKE breasts for my wife. It was worth it! As for the watch - I wouldn't sell the bracelet. Always keep a watch in as close to original condition as you can. And a good GEN is better than a REP any day. Just keep surfing and saving - and buy yourself a REP when you get a chance. In the meantime, enjoy your GEN.

Not sure if it's the "BEST" one out there - but it sure is a very fine example of a 1950. has most (if not all) of the correct boxes ticked off. Only thing I'm not 100% sure of - is if it has the very LATEST movement in it - the one the Eddie sells with the correct engraving on the back. Otherwise - it looks very good! (My 2 sheckles)

I'm pretty sure there WAS a PAM162 Rep around at one point. I remember because I wanted to buy one, but the wrong date font really bugged me - plus there was always a problem with getting the date window spaced properly between the 4 and 5. And the PAM92 you've pictured there doesn't actually exist. It is a prototype created JUST for Mike Horn. The production model (the Arktos) doesn't have the numbers on the bezel, etc. But I supposed there's nothing stopping someone from recreating it!

Thanks - I already did my homework and spoke with a few people. I am in full agreement that the new version is worth waiting (and paying) for. I'll be on the list once it is available. Hopefully will be able to secure one! Thnx, JB

Liverpool all the way!

NOOB ALERT!! Hey - can someone explain to me why I would want to pay more than double for a 7753 version of the 187? OK - I understand the 7753 is far better movement than the Asian 7750 - but is that it? I understand the new 7750 is actually quie good. So - can someone with more knowledge than me please explain why I should save up for the 7753 version? Many thanx, JB

Patience is a virtue I don't readily possess. BTW - Stevie G is my fav player. I just hope Liverpool don't suffer the same fate as Man U when they play tonight! JB

I've been following this thread with great interest. Can someone tell me if this thing is still going to happen? I'm definitely interested in purchasing one- just would like to get an idea of what improvements it will have and the timing. Are we looking at next year before this gets made? Is it just a 7753 movement inside - or will there be other upgrades (AR, screwed in bezel markers, date font, etc)? Can someone let me know what to realistically expect? Many thanks, JB
