To be honest, I personally don't think either fits very well but on the rubber clad. For the "standard" ROO, I think a cool leather strap works a lot better. But that's just my oppinion =).

Thank you for all your advice - I will consider it really well!

Hi guys! I am about to "complete" my PAM collection and doing so by placing an enormous order at Davidsen. Could you guys, who have experience with dealing with him, please inform me if it all went smooth etc.? Thank you and have a mont-brilliant day ;-)!

Hm odd. Don't get it. I've owned two gen PAM PVDs - 005A and B and neither were that shiny or that black. They were a very dark shade of grey and almost matte. I guess Panerai changed PVD coating method over time....

Ah I just saw that the sub dials are more correct than the Automatic versions....

These are all gens, yes?

Depending on dependencies, could you please buy one? I could use some gold and diamonds ;-)!

PVD could be the screws?

Yeah I guess they will release the rubber strap for some xtra $$$ :-)

Maybe you all know this, and I'm just a slow-mo-hobo, but check http://www.kingwatches.net/ And see the rubber clad in all its glory :-D

That's a very precise analysis that I can recognize as well. Sadly...

OMG - my favourite watch of all time. ROO Rubber Clad, Pink gold, black dial with silver subs :-P....GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!

Hehe - it's interesting to see how many good people are using content from the Hitman series in their avatars. It makes me feel really good, because I've been deeply involved in developing that character!

Where's it from?

But darn it it's a lot of work to make that whole ad in order to sell a replica :-P

Interesting reasoning and nice story! Oh btw - is that 47s head in your signature ?

Velkommen

HAH! That's some funny shaite :-)

OR "you never really own a rep. You merely look after it until it gets snitched in customs due to repair logistics"

You have a lot of true and fair arguments, but in my experience gens are as far apart by brand as reps can be from gens. For example I've had numerous problems with my Panerais. Hands coming off, PVD of questionable quality etc. On the APs I owned (a rubberclad ROO and a T3), the titanium of the T3 was exceptionally scratch prone and the Chrono in the rubberclad got stuck at some point (the start/stop button just "froze stuck"). It took 6 months and 2500 dollars to fix the Chrono because they needed to fit a new Chrono module. I know of course that this happens (probably even more so) with reps, but the funny thing is that from my 30 reps, all of them run fine and keep pretty good time. And speaking of time keeping: My Oris Williams gen gained 12 secs. a day. My Urban J

If funding was no issue at all (read: Infinite funds) I'd of course go back to gens again. Right now I just don't think that you get your money's worth in 9 out of 10 cases plus there're many issues with gens that are similar to the quality issues apparent with reps. So even if I could it would for me take more than just reasonable ability to make the transformation back to gens.

Here on RWG or at a reseller site? Thanks

Yeah the whole mod scene is a thing I have yet to properly discover. I feel like the passion here is more honest and intense than what I've been used to on for example Time Zone. This partly due to the fact that collecting reps in no way can be a "cover" for showing off your wealth and success, which I found to be the case to some extent on TZ and similar fora.

There're lots of good things to say about Denmark and Copenhagen. Buying cars is not one of them....

Oh btw - in Denmark 2-3 watches don't really cover an S5 ;-). You'll have to slap down almost 200K euros for that....DAMN THEM AND THEIR TAXES!!
