  1. 005 with donerix strap

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted

    Those reps have come a long way since then, I got my first 111 in March 2005 from Edie Lee, modded with nice CG and Crown, I still have it, don't wear it anymore since it's not that accurate but still a cool piece of rep history. The same year I got Gen 111 for $2700 + some change on my trip to Italy, haha... can you believe it? Sold it for way, way, way... more then that.

     

    Like your strap a lot, I was thinking of having a new custom sized Donerix Grey Canvas strap made as well.

     

    Right now my favorite "out of the box" rep is definitely 390, super accurate and serviced keeps better time then the Gen 111 did.

    But I have an ultimate custom built 5218/202a PVD Grail which has all the best custom made parts, PVD done by the same place Panerai used in the 90's, Swiss sealed movement that came straight from ETA that won't loose or gain time even after a full week, for me this is a priceless piece since Gen's are now upwards $100K, i would not trade that for even a Gen 111. Ha.... Reps are cool.

    Eric is a very nice guy.

    Yes You are right. Reps are better now. I began in 2002/2003 in a German Forum. Maria (mbw) was in this. There i was called zett. There have been very very good reps. But often you had to do some Mods. some Mods i did. by myself to get them better. (E.g. Rolex Crown guard mod, new tubes new crowns, cyclops etc.... But now i like the out of the box watches especially panerai.

    Yes, the 390 is realy close. Send a Shot if you got it. My next One will be the 356. Not as Perfect as the 390 but I like it very much.

    Hi panerai,153,

    Thx, The shots could be better. :). I changed into originals but always read the threads in the Forum.

    After the black bay was out I couldnt resist. Regretting giving away my beloved 111 sausage dial unitas, I also ordered the pam 005 which is now my daily beater. My next will be the noob 111 and noob 243. In my opinion these are the most accurate watches OTB.

    Greetings

  7. Tudor Black Bay on the way!

    Got mine yesterday :). I did the floss silk mod. The bracelett took a little bath in a dish detergent oil bath and i deflashed some sharp edges. Overall a stunning peace. I bought my last rep in 2005 by maria (Mbw 1665) and i have to say. Nice work. The minor flaws are very acceptable. Pictures will follow tomorrow.

    Besides this one angus sent me a pam noob 005 v2. I am very content.

  8. How to open IWC 3717 Caseback

    in The IWC Area

    Posted

    Take a hot glue gun put the hot glue on a round block of wood (the one my children play with are perfect) press the block on the casde back let it dry and you can open the watch withaut scratches. The wooden block ist easy to remove after closing the watch.

    Former known as zett in a german forum :) (I miss you guys).

  12. Most Accurate Reps

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Very simple answer here. The most accurate rep is the one you wear with the most confidence. What do I mean?

    I have a good job, dress well, and take good care of myself. I don't look out of place with a Rolex on my wrist. I have a history and a story behind wearing my other two reps. I could afford two or three gens as well. So, I've never been called out.

    Take the exact watch off my wrist and put it on a friend of mine's and he'll get called out every turn he makes.

    So in short:

    Most accurate rep: When you wear the watch.

    Least accurate rep: When the watch wears you.
