Happy family!

Buy an aftermarket crystal off eBay and have it installed. Trust me you'll be happier!

Awesome! Where do I get one!

Is the dial super lumed?

I have a 1950 fly back same movement zero issues. Very accurate and reliable.

Seawolf Banana dial all the way!

Great thanks! I see you have it for sale on another post. I want it if you still have it.

Check with Andrew at trusty time. He informed me lately the noob factory quality has went from bad to worse. I would reconsider.

Go with the Breitling Seawolf Avenger(yellow dial) from Andrew at Trusty time. Its a super rep(most passable for gen) and has a true Swiss ETA 2824 movement. www.ttw168.com

Yes you are correct! I just received an email from Andrew and the H factory does offer an upgrade to sapphire crystal for $90USD. Thanks for the suggestion!

I don't believe its an option cause Andrew did not mention it to me. What TD are you using?

Good point Rolo! Maybe the bronzo they are selling now is our best bet for success. Who knows maybe the factories can't do any better than this. http://www.ttw168.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_47&products_id=8854

The Expendables Pam 332 has been released!!!!! http://www.ttw168.com/

Oh yea sorry fellas forgot to mention it is a synthetic sapphire which basically means mineral crystal. The chinese factories stopped making the 1950's style Panerai case with the true sapphire because of the cost. You can buy the original sapphire crystal for this watch on Ebay and have it installed....here is the link..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAPPHIRE-CRYSTAL-FOR-PANERAI-212-FLYBACK-1950-PAM-212-/310304825568?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item483f9be0e0

Its as super as a rep this model will get because of the expensive movement it takes to make it a true "rattrapante" watch with the split second hand. Guys this is a great watch and grab one while you can! The original release sold out quickly back in 2010 due to the popularity of the "Expendables" movie in which Sly Stallone wore the watch. I waited for over a year to get this watch and yes the button at the 7 is for looks as I mention already the movement would be way more than average rep hobbyist is willing to pay and I'm not even sure a chinese rattrapante movement has been made. Bottom line GET THIS WATCH! The original cost over $19k and is almost impossible to get and the high quality reps of this watch go very fast. If you want a $98 version of this watch you can buy all day long but will not be satisfied. Trusty time and Andrew have the real deal. Pull tha trigger! I did! Pics forthcoming.....

Average Joe would not even notice these small flaws......us watch geeks are OCD!

I want the franken!!!!!NOOOOOOWWWW!

Noob factory is slipping lately....quality is not there! Go with Andrew! Stay with H factory they are most reliable.

Enjoy to the max!!!

Gotta have mo cowbell!!!!!! Nice pics!

Zzzzzzzzzz
