I hear the noob 359 will be out maybe in 1-2 months time, if you can wait... Not sure what is improved on though

not sure if you already knew this but anyway, hope it helps!

Ahh finally found the trade section. Nice 217 you've got there Pete

Hi Pete, This is really gonna sound dumb but where exactly is the "sales section"? I've heard a lot about it but I can't seem to find it anywhere ?? On a side note, did you get a dark brown ammo looking strap for a white faced BR from John(Dangerous9)? Kinda recognise the tatts with some wrist shots you posted here lol

Thanks for the info and the blog post. The watch indeed looks beautiful! I'm looking for a good radiomir california and also a pam217 myself. Have contacted Davidsen and hope he's able to build it for me. Would you mind sharing some pics of what you've got from him so far? Cheers! B

Thanks Freddy333

Great looking piece! Which dealer did you get it from? I've recently got my pam111 with the same rubber strap. "vanilla" is indeed a good word to describe the scent. I didn't boil it as I found that to be too extreme. What I did do was to put the strap under running hot water for awhile before wrapping it in newspaper overnight. The next morning the scent wasn't as strong as the first day I received the watch and I began to start wearing it. Have been wearing it for almost a week now and the smell has subsided. Hope that helps!

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to this forum and especially the Rolex section of it. Have been more into Pams before my interest in Rolex grew- they're just so classy and the style never dies off! I've read the dealer reviews and roughly know who to go and which model to go for if I wanted a reliable service/source and an OTB model for Panerais. However, I'm totally unsure who to purchase from and which models have been nicely developed? I don't really have any specific models in particular but I'm really liking the vintage ones and the newer Daytona & Yatchmaster. Would really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction to go from here? Thanks a lot! Cheers, Benny

Hi where can I get a DSN 232 ? Im interested in that watch and have been trying to find a good otb version for quite some time...

I've got the watch back from the watch smith and when I was at his shop, did a few test runs to see if the date changes at 12. It didnt. It changed at 2 instead and the watch smith himself was quite shocked as he had tested the watch the day before I came to collect it. Anyways, he spent another 45mins or so re-doing it and we got it tested together. It finally worked fine, date changed at 12. However, when I got home that night, I noticed that the date only changed at 12.50. I tried it 3 times and it is now confirmed that the date changes at 12.50. Could anyone give me any advise on what could be the case here? The time of date change keeps varying. Im thinking maybe the best option will be to send the watch back to the dealer

Hi there, just checking before I purchase. Is the one on Josh's site from H Factory or is there an updated one coming soon?

They were the only "trusted dealer" selling the 359 otherwise I wouldn't have risked buying anything off Puretime. Read a lot ofiv reviews on their them, some positive but mostly clouded by the negatives now. Totally regretted my impulse purchase, should have waited for other dealers to feel 100% confident of carrying the 359. Well, lesson learnt for me, hope you guys can learn frm my mistake too. IMHO, it doesn't matter how long have you been dealing, it doesn't matter if your products were up to standard in the past, what matters is whether can you keep the quality AND SERVICE consistent. In this market where most of them are selling identicle products coming from same factories with very similar pricings, there's only 1 thing that differentiates them, CUSTOMER SERVICE. PT has totally flipped on this area, it seems like they can't be bothered about customer loyalty. Sure, Nikki responds real fast during puchase process right up to the day your $$$ is in their bank. After which, if you have any problems with the merchandise and try to contact them - tough luck. I'll take my chances to the slot machine, bet I'll make a billion before I get any replies from them. In case some of you might say, oh yeah they've lots of customers and they don't dedicate their business to serving me only therefore they're busy etc etc etc.... I've had a friend who has been in contact with them with his purchase and they respond perfectly. Anyway, just a heads up for any of you who might want to take your chances, I highly recommend reading the dealer review section deeper and not just selecting the Good reviews you'd like to read just to make yourself feel better. Sometimes, its often the bad reviews that count. Cheers

Looking great! May I ask which dealer did you get it from? Am looking to buy 1 myself if not for the blue tint AR i'm reading on the sites. Hows the AR on yours?

Found it on connie's site for the 104, that the I series comes with the blue tint AR as with the gen. I'm not watch expert though, pretty much a noob but personally I'd very much prefer clear AR.

*Found my answer, please ignore* Hi guys, Does the gen 104 has blue tint on its cyclops as well? I'm seeing a blue ting on the reps, apparently H factory's 1:1 version. Is that right? B

so far, theres only 1 dealer selling it, am I right to say that? Would suggest you hold back for further developments from others...

Quick update: Sent the watch to a reputable watch smith in Melbourne, will be collecting it on Saturday. So far no reply from dealer yet, surprisingly as during the purchase and payment process it took no longer than a few hours to respond.

Hi guys, Have recently received my 2nd rep (PAM359) and apparently the date only changes at 6 instead of 12 o'clock. I'm looking for a reputable watchsmith in Melbourne(Preferably CBD or S.E Suburbs, Burwood East?) if anyone has any recommendations, please feel free to pass on their contact details. Cheers, B

thanks guys! I'm actually located in Melbourne and this being my 2nd rep so far, I haven't got any contacts as to which shops will be willing to work on a rep? Or do they all do reps? Of course I won't approach the gen shops.. lol

Ahh, then its an overall good deal then! Satisfied customer that's what matters eh It really is a beautiful watch. For those who are waiting, just got news from Joshua that 026 will be in in approx 2months time.

Haha, your watch looks great! Hw is it functioning? That dealer's realllyy expensive! For that price, I might as well top up a little more to get a 187!

I'm unfamiliar with Trevor, is he one of the trusted dealers in rwg? Could you post/pm me a link? Thanks very much HartDoc

Hi guys, So last week I placed an order for the PAM359 from one of the trusted dealers here. Having waited for this watch for a long time, I was naturally very excited to receive it and today it finally came. I took the watch out and examined it. It was PERFECT exterior wise.....However when I tried to set the date and time, I noticed something wrong about this watch. The date only changes at 6 o'clock instead of 12. Was the movement upside down??? Can anyone advice me what should I do? What seems to be the problem? I have the original wrappers, plastics and everything that came with the watch as I have not even had the chance to wrap the watch around my wrist therefore the strap is 100% free from creases. Should I send it back to the dealer? Have sent them an email today but still waiting for a response. Having read the negative feedback, I am very worried this may turn out to become a few months long issue ............. B

Thanks guys for your input. Yup it is unfortunately, out of stock at the moment. Will check with Connie again end of the week to see when stocks will be expected.

how can 1 tell whether it comes from the H factory or not? I can't seem to find any statement from the dealers which factory is it from.. :S
