Thanks for the tip! I'm going to do some shopping now Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Congrats! Just got myself a Diver v3.5 as well. I thought I might use it for my daily beater but it's just too nice to abuse! My beloved Panda will be demoted to 'daily beater' Btw, I kinda like this rubber strap. Way better than what I expected and most of other rep's rubber. Try Drabott's. Sergei have some of the best looking leather straps imo.

I have not dealt with him as of yet but I'd say he is good. My impression is he has trust and support of many members here. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

On the Tusted Dealers link you will find Watches International. Rochest and Mary are the people there. You won't be disappointed by their service. Try Andrew at Trusty Time as well. His service is spotless and very professional. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Just need to get xtra long straps

Yes, we sure do get around... and always come back ;-)

Yes The AP Diver is absolute jewel. It must be on top of the list for any AP fans. I'm in LOVE!

thank you! ;-) I will put up more/better pictures when I get a decent chance.

Got me a V.3.5 AP Diver with SW220 from Rochest and Mary. Their service was absolute top notch and the Diver is incredible! Personally I think the Diver tops my other AP collections (Montauk Highway, Silver theme, Masato) by huge margin. (Thank you members for pointing me to the right direction! ;-) The lume is excellent, all the markings are spot on. the rubber strap is unbelievably comfortable, both crowns feel smooth with just about right tension & clicks, and more over the Diver has this glow that you can only see in real that doesn't exist with other rep APs. (limited to my experience of just 3 models above. but all my collections are current top notch reps available). The 'glow' is something you often experience with Gen watches. The screws on the hazels are slightly recessed at uniform depth ; all 8 of them. can't see it properly on my very amateur photo but huge difference from other AP ROOs. I am 150% satisfied with this purchase. I will post the sw200 movement photos when I get a chance to open up this baby, since Diver v3.5 with sw200 seems to be a rarity apparently. My genuine thanks to Rochest and Mary at WI for supplying me this top notch Diver. (should probably send them a bottle of wine or something ;-) Attached is a quicky wristshot I took while driving (oops!)

Got myself a Pam417 H-factory NY edition (don't ask me why H instead of KW....) It is just incredibly! No pictures do justice on its subtle & elegant beauty! I am totally hooked on Panerai. There's been few suggestions since my last post ("shoot me") to sell it and buy the new KW version but I don't see the need for it. The CG inaccuracy is not too obvious and the engraving on the back is good imo. (I'm not going to be flipping over my watch to show the back side while i'm wearing it anyhow) Attached are quick and very amateurish cell phone photos I've taken today. (how come lighting is bad whenever I try to take a quick photo?! -.-^)

Good morning ! From another kiwi in auckland ;-) Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I am waiting for my diver v3.5 with sw200. Supposely the best available. ;-) Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Thank you for your generocity and wisdom. You've made my day! - ( still think I deserved good kick in the butt ;-) Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Yes it sure is a good lesson for me to restrain my trigger happy index finger. I am comforting myself that the watch i ' accidentally ' bought is still a great piece of work. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Unfortunately they had plenty of it...and so eager to send it to me asap Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Thank you legend for your generous understanding. I don't mind occasional good kick on the ass as long as the intension is for the good lesson! Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

And pardon me fellow ap forum members for clogging up the forum with other brand issue. I'm just so newbi and still going through my learning curve here. (But hopefully I learn quick! ;-) ) Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks legend. (No I didn't mean to thank you just because of your last comment. :-) my tapatalk did not alert me to the new comment..) yes, as per your advice I searched up on the maestro called marlin22. His work is just so amazing! I wrote him an email re 127 project. It's a shame I found out about your 127 sales just now! That is an amazing piece! Thank you again for pointing me into the right direction Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

The other day, I hastly ordered pam417 boutique NY edition trying to beat eventual out-of-stock situation... thinking it was KW version.. Just found out from looking at qc pic that it is H factory version.. banging my head on the desk right now... (description on TD website specifically mentions it is a H factory version IN BOLD RED!!)

Simply wow! I've had so many sleepless nights dreaming of 127 and so far had no luck finding one for me. . But thank you for the wonderful pictures that satisfies my thirst for 127 for yet another night! I'd love to have one made by you! ;-) Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Hello Gents, I came across these Pams the other day (can't find the source.. sorry) somewhere on the other forum They are simply a 'drool initiator' imo and I was wondering if they are fantasy models or actually exist and are available for purchase. If they are modified examples, could anyone offer me a heads up to where I can get similar mods done to my 127? Thanks in advance for all your comments and enlightenments.
