As promised in an earlier post, I'll show you my first Panerai. The PAM 00164. I've ordered this one from Andrew together with a Panerai Buckle.
The strap I ordered from Bob. This straps looks a lot like the one you can find on the Panerai website.
As this is my first "real" replica I was a bit concerned about the quality. So ordered the cheapest I could find with the asian automatic movenment.
But I was astound with the quality! The next one will be..... (again a Panerai). One of the biggest flaws is the magnifying glass (fish eye) for the
date indicator. It is way to small.... although I can read from it : ). Still I'm very happy with it!

Hi there,
after almost 34 years I've never owned any watch. And why was that...? because the ones I'd really like were just to expensive. I didn't want just an ordinary watch.... So this year I bought an original Seiko Premiere. Great watch! But I wanted more.... and after looking for originals on the web.... I found this forum which opened a new world to me. So hellllllloooooo to you all. My favourite watches are the Panerais and Tag Heuers.
As soon as I get my first real rep. I'm sure gonna make a review of it.

Hi there,
I was just wondering... maybe a little bit off topic (or even "off forum") but what kind of movements are used in cheaper original watches like, Breil, Fossil, Diesel, D&G, Guess, etc.... Usually these run a few years and then its time for a new one. If you compare these with the reps found can you tell which one are better. (besides the looks off course).
