crap! inbox is FULL! whos the lucky winner?

first time on Wrist Check!! Business casual friday for me...perfect for.. my 111h with the rep strap i distressed myself

i could live with these flaws. im sure 99% of the general population would not even notice. I just had some guy at the gym ask me about the watch. i told him its a Panarai and he just gave me back a blank look. hahahahah then he told me , "nice watch" So can anyone comment on the weight of the 111h. again, it seems really light to me but i have a UPO and breitling bentley. maybe thats throwing it off. but the 111h doesnt feel solid on my wrist. are other pams pretty light as well?

35 dollars extra, i believe. i know that he USED to charge 25. he said the prices his sources are charging went up. i think it well worth the price based on the AR.

i had him replace the mineal glass with sapphire.

hey guys just wanted to post some thoughts on my first PAM i got recently. This is an asian 111h from silix. i have been reading this forum for a little while now. never thought of myself as a PAM guy but like most of you , I have grown to love them. I am still a newb so im not exactly sure about all the exact flaws that come with PAMS. truthfully, if shown pixs of a 100 dollar PAM and a davidson, I probably wouldnt know the difference half of the time. That being said, here are some of my observations. - The watch is light! i own a bentley on a leather strap and a 44.5mm PO. i understand that these are big heavy watches but the PAM feels almost cheap on my wrist. I understand the watch is on a cheap rep strap but do all PAMs feel light? - Besides the lightness, the actual watch looks pretty solid (when strap is taken off) everything seems to be build great. - MOST impressive thing abou the watch is the AR. it more than makes up for the lightness. This watch glows blue way more than my UPO? For around 100 bucks??? its simply amazing. - Lume is decent when charged but fades away in minutes. I guess i might step up to a davidson or something because im starting to lust after the lume. hahhaha - i distressed the strap witrh bleech and scuffed it up with a comb. let me know what you think. - overall, great watch for the value ! i think im sprung now. bitten with the PAM bug and starting my quest for the perfect PAM. Here are the pixs. i really didnt know what i was doing but i think they turned out pretty nice. AR under artificial light AR under natural light through a window so now you see this pixs. give it to me straight, tell me of ALL the flaws. *special thanks to coolfire for answering all my newb questions =)

im going to taiwan soon too. anyone have any tips for taiwan??

im glad you got what was advertised to you

wow, very interesting. good find! i had one question...what do you mean by ratchet? Can you be more detailed about how to tell. I think i might have an Asian when i was told i was sold a ETA.

opps..doublepost

So even if he doesnt know...he gets these watches from SOMEWHERE..and he then just blindly lists them as "ultimates"?? the same ones as josh, andrews..??? if he is really that clueless, he might have to get out of the rep game. regardless, he gets a chance to respond and clear his name.

he should be taking this opportunity to promote a fair business. he will surely gain market share here. i let him know politely when i emailed him back.. i am still interested in some of his wares. but really, even if he is a novice at movements, or watches in general, dont you think he would KNOW the difference between hes watch and the ultimate ? (it is SO clearly stated by his email) i am going to give him the benefit of the doubt for this time only. hopefully he can realize his mistake and we can move on.

thanks man. i really appreciate the knowledge. we gotta stick together..in lieu of the current state of things

heres my email per trevor from RWI.. Thank you very much for your email Yes,this is the latest , ultimate version of the watch that is the same with the watch i am selling Yes i can other face colors,could you tell me which colors dail do you need ? I can get the BCE with that strap Thank you very much white lies?????

i meant, the smaller non-cartel dealers are being cut out of the overall pie. why cant they increase thier market share by maintaining their prices BUT at the same time increase customer service. time for them to step up. fill the void that will surely be created.
