ya S, W is right. That PVD 389 looks nothing like the gen 389... in fact it's just PVD 305 (don't get me wrong, I love the 305, except for the display case back)

 

The gen 389 is in a league of it's own, have a look at this and tell me it's not pure awesomeness

Your right it is bloody awesome, love the way the dial and ceramic bezel looks    had a look at both the 305 and the Noob 360M but the 389 just has something I love    gonna have to get one and see how it goes! 

Thanks for the info P   much appreciated !

Welcome to RwG Jack 

Not had this one out for a while.....

Thanks so much, means tons to hear things like that.

I'm in the hospital and have had some problems ...that's why I've been inactive. I'm much better now and will be home in a couple days.

Thanks again for the nice words.

Killer Tudors!!!!

Bloody hell R, I had no idea, hope your well on the mend mate, speak soon 

I want to have the whole range of snowflake subs ! (oh no here i go again im addicted to these super subs !)  

It's a sickness mate    love it !

Thanks for helping with this wm    had a look at the 04 and the 09 too but not feeling it mate, and thanks for letting me know this one is nothing like the Gen, does look great as a stealth watch (yeah right at 47mm  )  will give Angus a shout see if he has one! 

Thanks again !

Apologies Aero pm's cleared now mate    unable to upgrade still ! 

So I've been looking for a Pvd rep for a while and nothing has caught my eye until today, I'm not a major Pam fan but I just clicked onto Puretime and spotted this 389 Pvd and now I'm in love    http://www.puretime.co/product/pam389-n-luminor-submersible-1950-amagnetic-pvd-on-black-rubber-strap-25j/  

I am just wondering if there is any other Pam available similar to this one but maybe a bit smaller, I know I know, but being used to wearing Rolex nearly all the time 47mm takes some getting used to! 

I have an 029 which I love but don't wear that often because its a bit dressy in my eyes but the 389 looks spot on as a daily wearer, and it fits a hole in my collection too   as always any help appreciated guys, Cheers     

New super AR crystal on my PO. A fantastic improvement from the AR on the rep crystal.

 

Sweet piece MrJ   

Not worn this for a while......now with Gen strap..

Nice!

Great to see your back posting, missed your presence on here mate   

Hey Mate what case are you using mabe i should build a black datesub next

From what we gathered on here this one is based on a phong case, and yes go for it it's a fantastic piece to build     I'm just fitting up a new bracelet on it and having fun with the end links atm !

If you want the build specs just pm me aero 

I just ordered the v3 from Joshua. Have not received it yet, but here is my qc`s

That looks bloody awesome Asci    must get one of these when my wallet comes out of hiding 

Hi JohnnyB welcome to the madhouse     

Well some ppl use a different type of wristy when looking at things like this........ wow am I a sick person.

Never thought of that sort of wristy MD .........    ...........ok yeh me too lol ! 

Looking forward to the next 1000 or so Mike    and don't worry about talking too much mate, it's always a pleasure to speak to you 

Waiting on new shoes atm 

heres something to get this back on the right track

That's more like it...........no wristies though MD 

The blue flake is getting all the wrist time at the moment should i build a black dial version too ?

Yes you should mate    one of mine is in progress atm, can't wait ! Just wearing this one for now....

What a pile of s**t     and yep gotta say I like the dial too, just leave the bezel at the door mate....... 

Good on ya Kray     any of the TD's on here will be glad to help mate   http://www.rwgforum.net/links/category/3-dealer-websites/

Kray why did you ask the question in the first place    do your friends regularly open the back on the watch your wearing?

We have advised against Swiss because you may pay for it but not get it or if you do it may not be the best condition movement, you asked, we replied.......tread your own path mate    

Now

Hi Kray, welcome to the forum buddy    get the asian clone movement, no need to pay extra for the swiss, but remember only buy from the TD's on here mate    Good Luck!

My view is the same as some of the guys have already said, we get a fair mix of people on here, some of them will not have the slightest thought to say thanks for something you have shared or indeed done for them, but tbh I'm pretty used to that bringing up 2 teenagers at the moment   what I don't like to see is when a noob (much like myself) comes on and asks a question that is easy to find on the boards, then if they haven't had an answer within an hr or so they start posting smart arse comments like 'supposed to be the friendliest forum on the net, no help to me'   Note to Noobs with questions.......we will all do our best to help but we do sleep ya know    read, read, read and a bit of patience is all you need to get along in the forum, that and the common courtesy of saying a polite 'Thank you' when someone goes out of their way to help you.......my 2c

Oh and another thing too..............................Thank you to all the people that have helped me in the past, you know who you are   and that's the 2nd time !
