Found this on a blog, hate the watch but I quite like the strap but I can't seem to find anywhere on the web which stocks the same finish etc. Can anyone pls help? http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2012/05/29/blaken-panerai-verarena/

I've been waiting for over 6 weeks now.., all paid for the 127 and 217

Most TDs stock the latest/multiple versions. Do your research here or like Repgeek (although is down at the moment) and see which version is ideally the best, not all new versions are the best E.g it seems Pam26k v1 is not as good compared to v2 from reviews. Contact the TD and see if they stock that version.

Here's my spinmaster 6263

Andrew did offered to fix it for free if I send it back - not complaining about that. However the chrono wasn't working straight from the package so I have to say I was slightly guttered! I am tempted to give it to my old man and fix it in Asia - ironically he's a grey dealer..haha

Any photo?

Didn't noticed that scratch back then to be honest.. just had a look at the watch and it seems ok.. there's definitely a few swirls now. but is a rep after all. I am very happy with the watch except my chrono doesn't work.

Sorry I don't have any wrist shots, but here's my QC pic

Hmm I can understand your point of view that Andrew might bad mouth the V3 due to access problem, but I have pre-order/paid for a NOOB 127 and 217 with him. The story doesn't really stack up....

Here's what Andrew wrote to me: "No stocks on the AP diver and I advise you to wait for an ultimate version which will be out soon"

Hi guys, Just wondering besides Puretime, any other TDs stocks the V3 diver? I prefer to deal with Andrew if possible. Cheers

I only own one rep AP, so I can't provide you with feedback. I really like my Chronopassion minus the chrono being not working. Also have a looking at the new Safari too, I wanna get one but I read is best to source a gen hornback of which I am too lazy to do... I might pull the trigger on the V3 Diver

I own a gen 233 which comes with this tunnel strap. Looking at Andrew's site, it seems the rep also comes with the tunnel strap for the 233, maybe you can email him? Also if you want the gen (which is like around $120 USD +) they come up quite often at paneristi.com, or post a WTB. What what I noticed, most 233 ownerr (including myself) don't really wear this strap. Good luck

off the topic, but ask Andrew if he can confirm the chrono works properly, my chronopassion's chrono doesn't work properly. I also got Andrew to mod my pushers as well, took a few days for me but well worth it.

Hi guys, Placed and paid for my order on the NOOB 127 and 217, however my TD had advised me that they don't know when they will get delivery - anyone on the same boat as me here?

Rep, the Gen 372 has the logo engraved not painted..

Got one for my mate and I am waiting for my one right now, it's a very piece

I got a chronopassion and the Chrono doesn't work properly. I read it from a few other owners and they have the same issue..

Just in a draw..

Yeap the dealer will do the mod for you first and then ship, it might take a few days but is worth it. I will advise you to ensure the TD has tested the chrono first before he ships the watch. PM me if you want the TD.

I owned one. The gen has rounded end chrono pushers compare to most reps which has flat end pushers (you should be able to pay the dealer to mod it for you. I paid an extra $30 USD). My Chrono ended up not working properly although it was brand spanking new. Sometimes the slot of the screw on the front might not be aligned to the center, so check your QC pics properly Also you should do some research on the trust dealers to buy from. PM me if you like me to tell you where I bought mine from. The experience was great, but again the chrono doesn't work properly but the TD offer me to send it back to China of which I have still yet to do.

I recently bought my first Rolex Rep, Paul Newman Exotic Dial from a member here. I always own gen since I was 14 - Sea Dweller which I still wear. I bought a Rep Hublot Ice Bang and an AP RRO Chronopassion before I got the PN. I am thinking in getting a ProHunter as the gen is a franken anyway...

There's only one version of the 390 around and is from H factory. Of all the reviews I have read/seen is meant to be the shizzle. I own a gen Pam372 so I can't justify another period/vintage piece. However I just ordered my mate one..

As a side question, what will the V3 has which are still missing compared to the Gen? Is obvious with V2 but it seems like everyone is like moth to a flame for the V3. Not sure pre-order is a good idea until some of the fellas here kindly enough to do a review on it.

Thanks Watchmeister So who stocks the V5? I wanna buy it from Andrew but he doesn't seem to state which version he stocks. Also I take it the V5 still needed the rounded pusher mod? Also what's your opinion on the metal frame for numbers on the dial? Are they getting better yet on the V5? Thanks
