From what I know the seagull is worse than the Asian 7750

Is that a gen oem strap? Looks really good on the watch!

Very nice collection. What model of breitling is that in black? Sorry I'm a breitling noob. Is that a SA? Did you custom DLC/PVD it by yourself?

one thing which I noticed was quite wrong is that the blue OFFICINE PANERAI writing at the back when I got the watch was so thin, not thick enough. Is it supposed to be like this?

hey guys, are you all sure its a V2? 

I got a new set of QC pics and got the watch on the 26th. 

Why are you guys saying its a V2?

Let me show you guys the new QC pics

Hey Eric, which watch shop did you go to?

And are you very sure it's a WM9/TC?

Hmm does it mean that the watch shop got conned by the previous owner or the watch shop themselves sell it on purpose? Because usually 2nd hand watch shops in HK sell 100% gens it's pretty impossible for them to sell reps or they would go out of business instantly

Is this IW356405 blue portofino an accurate rep?

I'm a beginner in IWC reps, and am not very sure..the only models which I know are accurate are like mark16,17, and the laureus ingeneur for good foundation.

What are the currently most accurate portofinos and portugeses?

thanks!

Thanks for the info legendkiller!

For 3-4k, I'd rather save a little more and buy a gen SUB, or just get a used AP..idk but I think if frankening for more than 3k isn't worth it, might as well go gen

Hi Zackyh

 

About $900-1500 for the gen dial, 2892 + DD module maybe about $400-500 or so, hands are rare and I am unsure on costs or availability.

You would also need to remachine the case to reposition the crown, and shave the caseback to make it thinner.. I would say that the cost of sourcing parts for the franken plus the works involved would amount to more than $3000 these days. 

Hi guys, 

First post here, joined RWG since December and has been reading and following here daily 

After researching and reading about the Super reps available (111,243, BK/TC Sub, Diver 3.5 etc) I decided to pull the trigger on the PAM111 Noob V3.

Was hesitating which TD to get it from, as there's a chinese site which sells the V3 111 with Y-Incabloc mod for a little more but I figured to just get one without any mods and then send it for mod and service several months later if I really do need it.

So I ordered from Ryan at intime.co yesterday, made the payment via WU and got the QC pics on the same day. Ryan is quite easy to deal with and replying my emails pretty fast.

Btw, its my 1st rep purchase so I'm not really good at the QC pictures (catching any problems) and would really appreciate it if you guys give me your comments and feedback! (whether there are any problems etc and should I accept it or not). Thanks! 

There are 6 QC pics in total- Panerai PAM111 V3 Noob Factory Pre V Hands on Black Rubber Strap

The watch by itself looks really nice but when you wear it on it just doesn't look as nice...no offence.

Just my two cents.

legendkiller do you have any idea for the price? 

As in approximately how much would the gen parts cost

I think it really depends on how you want to present yourself.

For me I would tell my really close friends those are a Rep 

Why does the strap looks so old?

Thanks guys, I think that it is just better off to upgrade the incabloc shock protection system since it isn't expensive and I might as well just go with it when getting a new 111. Would it cause any damages to the watch as in making it less accurate etc? Or it is just purely a cosmetic touch up.

Hey guys, have been following this forum for a couple of weeks by now and am still a newbie in the rep world. Your help and time is very much appreciated.

Seeing that I would like to get the 111 noob V3 for myself, I was wondering whether the shock protection system mod on puretime is worth getting. I have seen threads where people posting their QC pics up and some saying that noob is starting to screw up lately, so I didn't order my 111 yet. Just a quick question here, is PAM111 actually open case back? (Meaning that we could see the movements without taking off the cover). Also, on the site it says that the biggest difference is the blue ENGRAVING for the word " Officine Panerai". Does it mean that after getting the mod the blue engraving would have a darker blue colour/thicker which is more obvious and looks better without the mod? Has anyone personally got the mod done themselves? Because this mod was introduced recently as well so I'm not sure if anyone who has got the mod actually seen the real difference. 

Cheers!
