maybe there's a reason they 'cannot' take decent pictures...but then again the pictures from people here show some good watches

why don't you take a hit a take an IQ test? I'm just curious to know the results when you have them.

this does not even qualify for the review section. Why would we believe him here or in the review section? We need proof aka pictures.

Guys, why are you doing this to us? Why are you even saying anything without showing us pictures. You know we need pictures and you also know very well that if you don't have a camera you need one. Need be, return one of the 2 watches back to Andy and get a camera.

We are still waiting for people to give us feedback on these straps from the dealers. Especially the gwn croc ones. I mean if we can get top quality plus all the Panerao correct marking what more could possibly one want? For example, @ stormtooper4 do you personally own this one: Panerai Assolutamente Brown Leather Strap

This is the same price (well, almost but I'm sure you can get the gen at this price) as the gen http://www.tcstraps.com/product/TCM_BrownCroc_Semi.html They don't even show me more pictures or at least tell me something (it could be a bunch of lies; doesn't matter) to convince me that they are, if not better, of the same quality as the gen. How on Earth are they expecting me to buy an aftermarket strap that may or may not be real leather at $260+shipping? It's my opinion but I'll say no thanks. When I'm ready to spend $300 on a strap I'll come up with a diffeent strategy. I could buy 2 lightly used gen ones that look, shine, feel and wear like real Panerai straps. And they have it printed on them as well. I know many of you will say all these aftermarket strap are way above and beyond the OEM ones, which I'm not buying, but no matter how you see it it's hard to make peace with the fact that a generic strap costs $300.

this is a gen one. you can see the entire camera in the crystal http://i.imgur.com/jmWFp.jpg

Regarding the non-perfect AR take a look at these pictures of this $4700 watch. It may make you feel a little better http://www.watchuwant.com/watches/panerai-pam-005-j-logo-marina-44mm-historic

how much are you selling the 201A, if you are selling it that is?

Is this the same as the one Andrew and Joshua have? Post some pictures soon.

That's pretty fast. How much did you pay for it including shipping? Low beat/High beat?

You have to buy the boxes etc separately. If they included them with every watch they would charge you say $80 more. So they give you the chance to get the watch at a lower price with no box. For example take a look at this: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_61&products_id=2832

PAM24 is hot with that strap (that's probably how Sly is wearing it if he has one). The red croc looks much better on the polished case/bezel and claner dial. You should probably wear them this way.

so much the better, then. The 4S must be better than the 4. I know in the rep world this is not always the same, from what I read that is, but with Apple at least it has to be the case.

Nice! I thought I needed a Panerai but now I know what I really need. An iPhone 4S.

I'm sure you and your mom believe you are better than me but all I did was judge the looks of a watch. A watch. You opening you shitty dirty mouth calling people [censored] is just awesome. If any of the 2 of us is a [censored] both you and I know who that is.

can you tell us more about the straps? Those are some tremendous watches!

the submersible macho diver'swatch is trying to say one thing and the red croc leather the exact opposite. How's that not garbage? As far as what you said about another nicer way to put it yes, maybe there is one. I just don't care for it you know why? Because it would be much like the watch. For one thing you like the touchness of the submersible but you dress it with the softy strap. When someone sees that on your wrist they're confused as hell. They just don't know what the hell to assume. When you have a statement to make and a message to convey make sure you are straight forward as possible.

Noone asked me to wear it? Thank God for that! What he did ask, however, was others' opinion. And I gave him mine. Excuse me for not being aware of the unfortunate fact that I HAD TO like it. Next time I will like everything I see. And no, noone said, me included, that my opinion should count. I'm no expert in watches, I'm no fashion guru and my opinion is no better than any random opinion. But I'm allowed to have one. And there I said it. In my eyes this watch/strap combo looks like pure garbage. No offense to anyone. And the OP if he likes it should continue wearing it. That's all that matters. But again, since he is asking for opinions I have to be honest. I'm not acting like his father. You are acting like his lawyer. Just say your opinion and stop commenting on others' opinions or, even worse, require them to have the same opinion as you.

looks like garbage, sorry. What a weird combo. Put the rubber strap back on, please.

Hello, I was wondering who I should talk to on the forum, if there is anyone who can do this, if I wanted to do the following: 1. I want to have the case of a 366 converted from polished to brushed while keeping the bezel polished, like say the 233 and 164. First of all I'm not sure if that's possible. Is it? 2. Have the watch tested and waterproofed, if needed. I can have the watch shipped to you. Preferably in the US. Thank you.

great. So I'm now between an alarm, as per tx's advice, or a panerai. But can I put the alarm on my wrist? Can I challenge the AD in the mall to see if he can tell if it's real or fake with my alarm? No and no. After all, when I get married probably I ll get a couple of alarms as gifts but certainly not a Panerai. Genuine or rep. Especially a rep.

Take a look at this listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110801581659&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123 I'm looking to buy one of these but so I know what I'm buying I want to have something clarified I noticed in the description the sellers says: " This strap is for folding deployant clasps but also fit standard buckles." Is that the case indeed? And what does that really mean? That the strap for the folding deployant buckle just fits the tang buckle or that the 2 are in fact identical? Thx

OK, will you forgive me if I listen to your pal txcollector and change my sleeping habits ans buy an alarm? And I promise, I will NEVER, EVER again look at my watch in the night. I will also join the lumaholic anonymous, just for you.

Thanks for the advice. And no, I don't take it the wrong way. But I hope you don't charge me for your services.
