I just finished watching Rambo and sly's daylight has REALLY made me want a Panerai again. I used to have a Davidsen 177h and absolutely loved it but had to sell it cause I had too much $$ in watches. Anyway, I live at a lake (half the year) and enjoy swimming quite a bit. So I thought I would get a rubber strap to put on to swim with and just wear around. My question is, are there any WR Panerai's out there from our dealers? I know that the o-rings can be greased up and/or it can be done, however, I was hoping to find one straight out of the box. Is the crown a big problem for leakage? Anyone have any suggestions or watches for sale ?? Thanks in advance!

Wrong place to post dude.

Thanks Dluddy!! It definitely looks pretty good. I was thinking it would be much better color matched, but that looks good.

Hey all. I let my SOSF white dial go a while back ago and now I want one back to swim with this summer. Does anyone have any pictures of the white dialed SOSF on a black rubber dive strap? I just want to make sure it looks OK. Thanks for your help.

Well, I caught my eye on the Chrono Superocean and had to have one! Just got it today and I couldn't be happier!!! This thing was impossible to photograph though, so my photos don't do it any justice at all. The polished bracelet is amazing and the attention to detail is unparrallel. I do have to say that after having the SOSF (which I just sold yesterday), it is amazing how good the replica's are. You can definitely tell the difference when you have them both in person, but DAMN the reps are good. I am going to pick up a navy diver strap for it from the AD this weekend, then its off to the beach in a few weeks. We'll see how she holds up in the Pacific!! Tried to get as good of photo's as I could... but I'm not photographer Enjoy!

Each piece is numbered differently correct? Otherwise....

While I hear this point alot, I have to admit, the extra 1,000 is worth it to me to sleep well at night knowing I have a gen, not wonder if someone is thinking its fake while im wearing it, being able to go to an AD and feel good about myself, etc... But some just say I have issues..... Cant wait for my gen Omega SMP Chrono to get here though!!

I believe thats the piece of wax in there to show the watch caseback has never been opened, but i could be wrong. As far as condition goes, I agree.. definitely not mint, and nothing special, but seems like a decent deal

Abercrombie = 14-17 year olds...

Alright, so I have been looking to pick up a gen SMP Chrono, and I have come accross a pretty good deal, but I wanted to know your opinions on it. It's a Omega Seamaster Chrono 2599.80, is supposidly in "mint" condition and includes all papers, etc and its going for $1500. Here are some pics, please let me know if you think this is a good deal. It sounds like a great deal to me, but something just makes me a little skeptic.

LOL.. I had a co-worker say the same thing to me. I was wearing my new SOSF and they were like "Ohh how nice and big... but it's not as nice as those rolex's that go around without ticking like yours" Mother F&*ker... my SOSF isn't ticking..

LOL that's pretty good stuff.. But you also make some good points. It's the "Cash McMogulson" effect (I hope some of you have had the chance to read his chronicles.....if not......google them). If its a one night stand with say... a couger... then your gonna want to put on your rolly YM or sub... something that she will recognize and immediately associate positively with (we hope!!). On the other hand.. if its a nice lady, like say someone your mom set you up with (don't ask) then you might want to go with something a little more restrained like a FA Jones, Porto, etc. If you don't want to start with a lie, like crystalcranium said, start out with a gen....however, I don't consider wearing a rep a lie. It's just a matter of taste. I personally, on a first date, would wear this: In all seriousness.. I'd go with the Omega Chrono. Not because of the date or anything, but just because its my favorite watch!!

GET A GEN STEELFISH!!

LOL I Really hope your joking.

B-1 = Sorry, but not my style at all.....

Dluddy - Your date font kind of worries me......

Just got back from the AD (Tourneau in Atlanta) and tried this bad boy on in white It sure is a THICK mother fu*ker, but its still pretty sweet. noooooowwww....... Asian or Swiss......

Love the watch! The one thing that bothers me about spending so much on this rep is that the gen is only $1800

LOL that's hillarious. It just so happens that I was out in Vegas last weekend with my good buddy who happens to have a bad ass gen Daytona. We are only 23 (family with money) but we were holding down the $10 tables all night. I know he got a few looks, but whatever, you just never know...

LOL.. I'm sure it's already been said, but I'm not in the mood to look through all the pages to find out... You need to remember the whole "revenue" vs. "profit" issue. Now I'm not saying that they pay a lot for the watches, but they obviously don't "make" 25k a month in profit...

LOL, loser.. I'm not trying to show "intelligence" or "maturity" with you. I'm just trying to tell you to stop being a [censored] and let us know the price. As you can see, 16 pages in, people are anxious to know about the watch.

WTF? Why would you tell us to PM you about the price? Just F*cking tell us....

i.e. the OP please

NOT ME!!!

Principle rules of supply and demand buddy... so far A LOT of members have expressed that $500 is too much. So if there is no demand for the watch at that price, none will sell, price comes down... you get it.... Well same comes true for me at $300. I know a few people will pick it up, but I won't, and if enough don't, price comes down.....
