did i ever get lucky on ebay? yes. i bought my first expensive gen on the bay ... a like new pam 091 (complete with all boxes and papers) for only $3,000! you can read the full story from 2006 here. see below a picture of it along side my brother's gen 220 ...

well i'm glad i could persuade you into panerai. lol. and i look forward to hearing the measurments of the bracelet. what you have right now is actually a 297, not a 161. for the most accurate rep, i would go for the 220 which my brother has (both rep and gen) ... the rep is amazing! you could then put your new style bracelet on it to transform it into a 299. that would be the first of it's kind around here. best of luck with whatever you decide!

interesting! that's the first rep i've seen with the new bracelet. could you please advise if it tapers from 24mm to 20mm as per the gen? thanks in advance.

i've got bad news and good news. the bad news is ... this was my lame attempt at an april fools joke. the good news is ... king had a good laugh but also said this one will be ready soon! really this time. all the best.

i've been hounding my dealer about the ploprof for some time now and finally got some good news. it will be available today! she doesn't have access to all the info yet, but did send me this screenshot from her web department. larger pictures and price is still a mystery for now, but i will update this post by the end of the day. stand by for more information ...

looks great ... congratulations on a wearable egi.

if you're going as far as this, i would suggest dark grey lume on the dial.

beautiful watches cc! and yes, it's scary to think of how much money we dump into this hobby. fun though!

pm sent. i have a genuine oem titanium and brushed stainless steel bracelet for sale if you're interested.

for any pop fans, garnell storr is blowing up in the bahamas. keep your eyes and ears open for her ...

great to see you back buddy! it wasn't the same here without you. all the best from the bahamas.

big congrats. this one is on my radar as well!

congratulations!

i got mine from king, see below ...

my latest roo is the same. i didn't mention it to my dealer because with my luck, i'd end up getting a worse one. anyway, hopefully The Zigmeister can sort it out when it goes for a full treatment. all the best.

i agree with antstar24. in regards to the blacksteel, the skyland avenger wears small. for that reason i have a super avenger on the way. normally i could not wear a 48mm watch (7.25" wrist), but i think this one's going to be ok!

this is the first i've heard of any of this.

nothing like replying to a post three years later, eh t. even worse is that my reply doesn't have anything to do with your questions. lol. although knowing you now, i'm sure you have all the answers. there aren't many topics on the 213 (probably because there is no rep of this model) so i decided to reply to this thread. to make a long story short, a friend of mine has given me his gen 213 to have cleaned up from my local ad (and the ad he purchased it from). i'll have the watch in my posession for the next month or so if anyone has any questions about it? all the best.

i always pay a little extra for tracking so you can confirm that it actually did arrive. another thing is to be sure to set this all up with your dealer before you ship it. the reason being is that the address is usually different than where it came from. good luck.

great post bansenshukai ... thanks for sharing!

thanks, and yes it's a rainer watch box ... good eye. here is another pic ...

i love my blacksteel, but if you're looking for bling ... this is not it.

beautiful pictures! you obviously have a gift if this is your first time photographing watches. we look forward to seeing more.

very sorry to read this. sixx is one of the long time members that always has something positive to say. whether it's boosting a friend's sales post or just saying hello. i'll be thinking about you buddy, and hope for a speedy recovery. the forum won't be the same until you're back.

very nice. mine is with chief as we speak. can't wait for the results!
