Forgot these....

Ok, I sold off a bunch of gen watches that I never wore to get a used LV ("D" serial number) from Japan. Here are some pictures in case anyone wants a reference point for their replica LV.

I didn't mean to. Unfortunately there is no edit option at this membership level.

Ok, I have really been trying to upgrade my membership with no success. Apparently Paypal will not accept payments or it may be just me. Anyway, I want to unload an essentially new / mint PAM0008 Ferrari Chrono (black dial / leather strap) if anyone is interested. Priced to sell at $250 plus shipping / paypal costs. PM me. And I admit I am forum challenged so any advice on the membership upgrade so I can post this in the sales forum would be appreciated. AJ

I think they make a version without the obsevation back which would be better for the Replica as the movement is quite different. It is a dead giveaway assuming someone looks. I think the crown sticks out a little further than on the original but that is a close call. Nonetheless I have the replica and am quite happy with it.

The Aquanaut has a transparent back like the gen.

Does anyone know if the rubber strap (Ferrari) via the group buy still available?

Has anyone heard from Sash recently. My chrono had a pusher that would not screw down (the top pusher button just falls out if you unscrew the outer sleeve) and I returned it to him. China EMS has made to attempts to deliver with no luck and he is not responding to my emails and his box is full. I hate to lose the watch and my money!

Hi Sash,

Can you PM me or respond to my emails - I sent back the watch with the chrono button issue and want to wrap up the exchange for the new one. Thx

Thanks for all the help. I decided to go with the 177 after going to a local AD and checking out the 111, 005, 000, and 177. I will post pics when it arrives. Now I need to figure out what to do with my Eddie Lee 1950 and 111h which have been relumed, canon fixed and serviced by The Zigmeister a couple of months ago.

Thanks for the information. It's amazing how much better informed this group is over history and details than the AD. Someone also offered me a 111G. I think it has a limited production of 2000 units and the painted dial and the decorated movement - again - I think (I do not have any reference books). Any thoughts?

I have had both 111 and 177's (both rep and genuine in both )

My decision was to keep the genuine 177G -- I much prefered the "sausage" dial to the newer "sandwich" dials -- also with the 177G it was limited production for only one year and 500 pieces -- not limited edition but rather limited production -- so it is nicely collectable -- much more so than the newer editions (H, I , etc). I personally preferred the 177 to the 111 because it fit better into my collection in the titanium -- this PAM is a weekend tool watch for me -- and I love the titanium look with a black shell cordovan strap

Both are very nice -- personally I would go with the 005 logo the 111 if you were going to go stainless. BTW - having had both 111 and 177 I will say that the 111 scratched much more easily than the 177 does, I know everyone says Ti scratches more -- but my experiece with a number of watches is the opposite -- and small scratches rub out easily I have found.

Ok. I love Panerai so much that after getting a couple of replicas (111h and fiddy) I decided to find a gen. I am wondering what the consensus is on the 111h vs a 177 titanium. As this group is so well informed on Pans I was wondering what people thought. TIA

Ditto for me. The watch arrived this morning with the extra strap. Everything checks out and works! Sash - thanks for following through on this. Andrew

Mine also came today , original replacement and I'm over the moon with it .

Sash kept his word and has been nothing but a gentleman , even though he is going to

be out of pocket.

I will be using him as much as I can from now so he can make back his losses.

A very decent and genuine dealer .

I went with the yellow dial. I saw it in person and really liked it.

are you getting the original watch or one of the others?

Got a new EMS tracking number from Sash for the replacement watch. This one is already in the tacking system which I hope is a good sign.

It would be nice if we keep this thread updated with info on when the watches start to arrive just so the thread does not die. It may also help us stay clued in on what is going on. I am waiting to hear back from Sash on the GP replacement watch. I had a separate order from Sash for the yellow dial (before the GP) and that arrived without a delay but the watch has a problem so I need to resolve that as well.

I have a similar problem with my FER00008 but it happened a day after I got the watch so I am trading it for another (via the dealer). I would contact the dealer and send pictures.

It is definitely hit and miss regardless of the dealer - I have purchased from several. The issue appears to be getting a respectable dealer who will work with you when there is a problem. Because there is really little protection for us otherwise.

Damn , these guys (CHN) do completely ignore what QC is and what it means "I want to receive what I paid for".

The results of dropshipping I guess......

Glad that you got your watch back.

I am happy to report that I got the watch today! It came with a rubber strap rather than the leather strap (as the prior one) but I guess that is okay. Andrew

what is the best way to get in touch with Eddie Lee? what is his email? thanks

Hi Sash,

No watch as of today's mail delivery so that is 2 weeks for me. I opt for option 2 with the Yellow Dial and extra rubber strap. Andrew

I can also wait and then decide - no worries. I will also make a future SASH purchase once things are sorted out to help with the situation.

Update:

this has got to be the darkest day of my life..

Yes, my past experience has been very good. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

EL is a great dealer and sometimes he is on biz trip therefore he cannnot response immediately. Be patience, he will response.

Not Funny! Anyway, as a positive note - I think Sash's handling of the situation is first class. As far as I am concerned there is no reputation fall out (assuming watches arrive) and I appreciate his efforts in making the GP.

Your typical EMS employee leaving work....

I am not getting any response to emails or PMs to Eddie Lee regarding a scratched Panerai Ferrari Chrono that I had to return to him for a replacement because it arrived that way. Now I am a little PO'd as don't even have the damaged one. Anyone have any leads for another email address to reach him? I would expect him to at least get back to me as he has been good on past purchases. Plz PM with any info.

Anyone receive their watch yet. Mine shipped last week to the U.S. and it appears lost. Sash said he is concerned as several are not trackable via the EMS China site. Now I am concerned as this is one of two for me.
