Swiss ETA movements are getting scarce, but really the new asian IMO is a better movement. The 005 is in limited quantities that is for sure. The base 000 is long gone and the 217H dust. Babola, what are you thoughts on the new asia h and e movements? Cheers TWP

Either you like them or you hate them. I tried the gen on at the AD and compared it to mine. Very accurate. The blue dial is great, but i completely love the black dial. Great shot! The best i have seen all day

My last post says it all

D4M Your picture skills have come a long way my friend. Now having said that aren't you glad that you jumped on this watch? Is the blemish on the dial that bad? I think not. Thank you for taking it out of my hands and becoming the proud owner. Fantastic shots BTW ! I think you were trying to copy my scuba theme. THIEF! Cheers TWP

I am glad that you got yours my friend. Now you just need the strap and lugs that go with it I will get those out to you this weekend. Also, your case was a lot better then the last crop that i got. It is interesting that the 036 case IMO has a better build to it, and the ar is unbelievable. Cheers TWP

Hello Please look at pictures of the gen as the crown does not necessarily sit flush to the case. They are proud. As previous stated, if you mod the stem then you may have to mod the lever pin in order to keep that tight. Cheers T

Nothing wrong with the sausage dial at all. One of my favorite sausage dials is the 000 and 009. I am just shocked that they are doing away with Ti cases! This is not good. Aslo i have noticed that my last shipment of 177's a couple weeks ago the cases totally sucked. The crown guard screws were very unforgiving, the finish horrible on the cases, and well we all know about the lever pins

It is nice to see someone that likes the 219. I am using my last dial to make one of these. Looks great!

It is a chilly day here in the midwest. Snow and freezing rain expected for the weekend. I am wearing one of my, cough, 50 germese Trias watches. You know for the money you get a lot of bang for the buck. This model has two independant automatic movements and is a whooper, 53 mm.

Vic The rumours you have heard concerning the 217H are correct. As we all know they are using the crown guard from 127H and the caseback from 127H. I have two correct versions of the 217H fully modded but they are for my brother and me! Ah yes, the 005 i have not forgotten Cheers T

Your work is always stunning mate. ALWAYS!

I had my supplier ask the factory to make some dials for me. The problem i had to order 500 of them. The price is higher on the 112H due to the fact that movements need to be converted over for the 112H and this is more labour intensive.

The 036 is a great watch. Don't get me wrong, but due to demand i am turning all of mine into 177H's Its a damn shame

Looks great Teejay. still waiting patiently

A few weeks ago my supplier had warned me that the 177H models are going out of production in GZ. I thought to myself, yeah right. Tuesday I placed an order for 8 more. Guess what. NONE. I have had to order 20 036 models just to get the Titanium case. According to several of my suppliers all Ti case panerai are out of production. In the last two months we have seen the 112H and 176H go out of production. What is next? The 005 and 111H? WTF? After the 112H the 177H is my second favorite model. I am sure a lot of you guys and gals started with the 177H as your first panerai purchase. WTF?

I have a brand new link that i have worn twice and would let go for $150 excluding pp fees and shipping. Here she is I also have a ETA SFSO that is missing the pearl on the Bezel. I would let this one go for $200. Normally price $360 nowadays Cheers T

That lady actually won a Darwin Award as I remember reading about it a few years ago. And they say ignorance is Bliss.

Perhaps the reason why we buy replicas Remember son the hunt is always better than the kill.

Superb taste

Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black.

Just 40 times? I managed to rack up about 60 shows in the late 80's and early 90's. It is nice to run into another 'Head' as we are becoming an extinct breed. Some most memorable runs where 91' @ The Garden, 89' Alpine Valley, 95' The Omni and The Pyramid, and naturally Solider Field for the final shows. If you would ever like to reminisce pm me and I will give you a call. Also, i have about 1000 shows on the hard drive. My latest concert just 11 days ago. Garth Brooks at the Sprint Center. Fantastic show! Cheers

A collection worth a lot of money! And the condition of your collection? I have a lot of great LP's and 45's that i inherited from my father.

Bad news on this one. The 112H is out of production from my supplier, I have also confirmed this with other GZ suppliers. Now i still think they are in produciton in Taiwan and malayasia but GZ stopped production a few months ago. I was fortunate enough to get four in a couple weeks ago but they have all sold. No this is not really a problem as I can convert a a unitas movement with running seconds over to a 112 movement, but i have to commission an order of at least 500 dials This is not good!
