  1. Hi, I bought this 210 locally for pretty cheap. It looked very nice and needs a strap but can anyone give me any insight of this model? Is the movement correct cause online they have the same movement with out the panerai lettering. Also the 2 big gears are pretty ugly and not brushed and polished as per gen.
  2. The laser etched came around in early 2000s when they started phasing out the holes cases. Really nothing notable changed in the shape, design, and clarity of the crystal besides the LEC appearance.
  3. Don't let the pointy 4 bother you! Nobody in the wild will know the difference...just put a gen 3135 in it and your good to go! Lol
  4. Ive seen your watch in person from tw best and its final stages and all I can say is wow! it turned out great! I of course went thru this with the stainless from TW best to super super franken and doing it again with a SEAN YM. Only thing it needs is a nice set of new hands.
  5. So I assume the natural lay out would be seconds at 9?
  6. Just curious if anyone has experience in swapping out the AP 7750 6,9,12 configuration with a genuine swiss ETA 7750? I have a friend who wants to swap. Also what models could I buy and directly plug in a Swiss 7750
  7. All the panerais I have bought I have been happy with.
  8. I have a friend with a AP ROO with Asian valjoux 7750 that he just can't keep it alive. He has serviced it, had it repaired, parts replaced and still it runs terrible. I am trying to help him possibly opt for a genuine Swiss ETA 7750 17j movement. Any experience swapping out movements with the genuine counterpart? Hands compatible? Datewheel transferrable? How will it fit the case? Many thanks in advance for your replies!
  9. Z? I have a mr2 that screams past those
  10. Just picked up a bk/Sean YM and I love it! (Except the dial) of course if anyone knows me by now I plan on going super Franken (gen platinum dial already in stock) I just want to know if anyone has experience assembling genuine parts such as movements, dials, bezels...anything I need to worry about? So far I have the genuine crown and tube already done so that's good!
  11. So star time makes a no holes case as well?
  12. That is discontued on later models with the one piece SEL. Now the 93250 stamping is on the SEL itself on the very end between the top and the bottom of the last link.
  13. Ask sead1999 or watchinternational
  14. Mymanmatt is perfect for high end builds. He's built my super reps, daily beater reps, serviced gens and much much more and is centered in CONUS
  15. Just bought the Sean YM/bk as the donor watch
  16. You will have to clip the dial feet and file down the remaining a of the dial feet. After that you will need a dial ring to install on the backside of the dial so you can then mount it to the ETA. Also make sure the dial coming off the watch is the same diameter as the gen. Could be to small or to big
  17. Has anyone held one of these dials? It's like holding a thick gold coin! Just solid weight.
