Yes and thanks again. I have been using the Pam guide intimatly! It has been an open window on my computer for about 2 weeks now! LOL

I am ready to buy but it is so difficult.

I am literally willing to pay for the best quality, but based on descriptions, I cant really tell which one is best. I dont want to spend the most money just assuming that it will be better. I would like to at least slightly understand what the additional cost is for. I wrote Andrew at Trusty and he said that the real croc band was the only difference and cause for the difference in price, but I notice other differences like the quick strap release.

Anyway--if you get a chance to check out the website links at home and offer guidance, it would greatly help me.

Best wishes,

Dominick

Thanks again martijnp...

Well, I am back to the 104. I am not satisfied with the replica open case backs so I decided to go closed. This also means that with the options I want, the 104 is the best comprimise, so no sandwich dial either. I can still be very happy with a 104.

So, I found 2 watches I am considering. I will post the links, but I am questioning the accuracy of the strap attatchments. On the one from trustytime, the strap release is simply a long screw. On the one from Puretime, it has the signature quick strap release push pin built into the back side of the case. Also, one is 316F steel and the other is 316L. Do I need to care about this? Is one Lume better than the other. So difficult to understand!

Has Panerai made this watch both ways and slightly changed the design over time or is one replica more accurate than the other. They are close enough in price that I am more concerned with buying the better overall watch.

I know it will take time and effort, but some guidance would be appreciated.

I've got the 104 Noob and it's a fantastic watch, it was my first Panerai! Wearing it as we speak.

See my signature for my PAM104

Thanks for the reply. I just noticed that the 104 is not the sandwich dial and the 111 is. I was under the impression that all the Luminors were a sandwich dial. This helps alot because I would like to go with a sanwich dial.

Thanks so much!

Is your search broken?

Thank you

I think the Noob O series is the best. You can find it in a lot of dealers (not ttt888 though).

Thank you for your reply. I noticed that Puretime has many "Noob" models. Would you be kind enough to post a link to the specific watch you are referring to?

Thanks so much,

Dominick

Gents,

I am seriously looking for a good Panerai Rep to wear as a daily watch that will see some time in the pool/ocean. I'd like a quality timepiece even though it is a replica. I wont say that I am looking for the most exact copy, etc....but rather, I am truly looking for a quality built watch that on its own is of good quality. IE: Valjoux Movement, Reliably Water Resistant, etc.

This is the watch that I am about to purchase:

Any thoughts?

I would like to get a Panerai like this or similar to it. If you have any other recommendations, please share them with me as I will be purchasing very soon.

Thanks so much,

Dominick

My 1st Purchase of 3 items from TT thanks to this forum and all has gone well so far untill I read the below entries when I checked EMS Tracking:

2014-01-21 United States of America ISC Chicago Il     Handed over to Customs

So my natural questions are:

Is this normal?

If I just sit patiently, at what point will I know for sure that my items are really lost to customs?

Do I need to be worried about legal consequences?

I have searched other discussions and found similar scenarios, but none matching this. Please comment if this is something familiar to your personal experiance.

Thanks in advance for your kind attention to my concern,

Dominick
