Kollektor

Only time will tell. Personally, I'd love the look, but then, I'm a PAM freak and would appreciate what you're wearing. Some may not get it. But you're wearing it for you, and that's all that matters. Just make sure you post some wrist shots.

Hold on. You have a Harley and you live near the Nurburgring? We need to talk...

I've posted about them before. I'm convinced that they're legit. Spoken to them on the phone about a gen I was interested in. They had very good ratings on Ebay (check to make sure it's still the case). Keep in mind that many of their prices are based on models with removed serial numbers. You will have to pay an additional $150 - $200 to get the model with serial if it is not already advertised as such. Watch companies make their authorized dealers sell at certain prices to qualify them as ADs. These guys buy in bulk from ADs without reporting to the manufacturer. The serial is removed when the price is below the threshold. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a gen from them. I'd also pay the extra cash to get a proper serial if resale will ever be an issue for you (clearly, you'll almost always lose money on a watch sale unless it's a Rlx, so the serial thing may make matters worse). My local bricks and mortar AD was able to match their price so I went with them to give them the business. If I recall, their warranty service is a bit dodgy. Only through them and no others, whether ADs or not. Otherwise the warranty is voided. Great deals on Breits, Omgs, Ors, etc. Let us know what happens...

No photos yet, but I do have some potentially discouraging news. Put my 063 on the wife last night and it was borderline ridiculous. The case and lugs practically overshot her wrists so that the strap could hardly be seen when looking straight down at the dial. Now I'm used to seeing large watches on people, so all looked relatively normal to me, but I think that others may have a different perception. Wife thought it to be on the ridiculous side. :-(

You have your opening. Now clean up the oil on your driveway, shine your chrome with the microfiber cloth, Loctite your bolts, throw on some bling, and try to get that Harley rattling down to Miami. (You can tell I ride a sport motorbike ) ...and the answer to your question, is "yes."

That's because they have an excellent sense of design perhaps?

LOVE it. Stunning piece and ridiculous price. Hell, they sell reps for more than that. Wear it well and in good health!

I disagree. Many of the people on this forum (I have noted) collect both gens and reps. We are into watches. Just a fun and very cool hobby. (Unfortunately a ridiculously expensive little hobby but I'm getting off topic...)

I hear you. Someone here (or possibly on the other forums) posted a photo of his girlfriend wearing a Panny. It looked fantastic on her. Don't know what wrist size she was, however. But don't forget, there are models that are smaller than 44mm which may be right up your alley. If you would like a wrist shot of the Better Half wearing one of my Pams, just say the word...

Laz, if you can get over my weak photography skills, here are some wrist shots to put things into perspective. Wife has 6" wrist. The DJ is stunning in real life; the photos don't do it justice. Anyway, should give you some idea of the size. Let us know what you get!

Lazarini - I can try to get you a wrist shot of the wife with DJ and gen Tag Aquaracer (very pretty and versatile watch) to give you an idea of wrist size vis-a-vis case sizes. She is very petite. Wish I could convince her to wear my Pams and Breits. You can get DJs customized however you want. Stick markers, roman numerals, etc.

I know one lady who was pleased with Trusty's DJ, black dial, diamond markers, fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet. Very stunning; elegant and slightly sporting at the same time. Wasn't enamored of the Francoise with diamonds--didn't look so great. The 24 got mixed reviews although I liked it. J12 is a nice option, too

Yes, I'm obsessive compulsive about this one as well. Every watch is the "last" one I'll be obtaining in a while... until the next Wrist Check. Insidious...

Here, here from a fellow Sopranos fan

Welcome. This site is a terrific resource and there are some great people here. We all have embarrassing stories we could share before we found RWG...

Very nice to see female members here. I love the rare occasions when I spot women with cool men's watches. BTW, I agree completely about the Regatta. It's one of my very favorites in my collection. Gets more wrist time than most of the others. Nice Breit, too.

Very nice indeed. Like that 1665 :-)

3 today. DJ Lumi, AP Jumbo, orange UPO. No pics yet ,I'm afraid...

For whatever it's worth... I think it's one of the most interesting, unusual and elegant watches out there. It is dated and yet timeless at the same time. Old and new. Simple and sophisticated. Probably repeating everything that Euno and Ubi have already stated. As far as accuracy is concerned, only a super WIS rep geek would know the difference IMHO. Like most everyone here, my eyes constantly dart to the wrists of passersby, and I hardly ever notice anyone looking at my watches. You probably have a better chance of getting hit by lightening than finding someone who even knows the 3700 (outside of this forum, that is).

Now I think I'll have to drop a dime on this. I wanted the honey brown, but he only seems to have black and ostrich. :-(

I wonder if HK's could stand the tell test...

Agree in part. Patriotism and bravado seem to drive opinions on this issue. Personally, I think that experience and innovation are the marks of a good spec-ops group. Moreover, it's all the intel and planning behind the warfare that gives teams an edge. So it's really a synergy, not a single component. If one gear of the movement fails, the entire watch may cease to function. Hence Israel's debacle in Lebanon which, in my opinion, came from poor leadership. BTW, I wouldn't compare Israel's Sayeret Matkal to American Navy Seals. While Matkal soldiers are highly operational and have considerable field experience, their program is accelerated when compared to Seals. I think that Seals are generally in for longer and have more training under their belts. Moreover, both units stress different capabilities and skill sets. I think I read that Matkal was originally fashioned after the British SAS even though it has created its own paradigm today. There are other career units in Israel that are superior to Matkal in operational capability and experience, even though Matkal gets the spotlight for its high profile operations. I'm sure there are units all over the world that receive less attention than SAS, Seals, Matkal, etc., but are quite capable.

Concur. Best hands down. It also has the most character. Just need to get a new strap on there some day...

Definitely one of the nicest and most accurate ones out there. Enjoy it. Cheers.
