nice watch! but its not a hommage watch .... just a hommage dial.

how does bezel feel on this one rolli? i keep hearing that the bezel is the weakest point of the submersible reps.. Is it loose? Otherwise i like it very mucho

what strap is that?

double AR looks great on 82! there were only 300 of them made so chances of seeing gen next to your rep are >0.0001%

you cant. the only option is to source a gen Val. 7750 and pay big $$$ to watchmaker to mod it and put it into your asian watch

the are different replicas coming from different factories. also PAM models are different. there are a few threads here comparing rep and gen side by side, differences are very minimal for a few models (black seal , 112 for instance), i never heard of problem with dial depth.. there are also cheap $90 reps, but thats a different story

nm

now i have seen a few of these straps going for more than 1K. Are they that rare?

Could you please post a pic of the relumed dial? I have no idea what gen has..there are only 300 of them hard to find AR shots. look at the pic of 82 on paneristi: hxxp://paneristi.com/reference/vendome/images/pam_081_100/pam_82_1.jpg looks like it has no AR (look athe reflection on the crystal) and dial looks very much like my rep

Dadogs post got me thinking (btw thanks for the link)... May be these pics will be useful someday for printing accurate dials, so if you got good high resolution pictures of genuine panerai dials then post them here.

any caseback shots? any caseback shots?

I have a thing for world timers...

the funny part is that the guy in this video is gay in real life

Question: How do you make sure that the crystal will fit right and water will not get in during swimming? are there any o-rings or some kinda sealing material?

the seller is not going to let it go for less than $500...

these guys here --> forum link are trying to make a perfect PAM dial through a factory. may be you could share your experience with them... good santos dial and PAM dial would certainly attract a lot of buyers.

how much did the dial and bezel cost you?

cheaper version does not have AR plus the crystal is sapphire vs mineral. open the case back and check the movement too.

wow. that dial looks pretty damn close, especially from the distance. any chance of making more of these babies?

i'm in for one of each. will put a deposit if needed.

who cares about the screws? screw them how many people remove them on their gen? i've seen SFSO's that have perfect lume markers. my bezel is perfectly aligned and clicks just fine. SFSO is as close as one could get to a gen for 125$ and this is a perfect rep in my book. only 10% of the cost of the used gen. I never understood people putting 1K into a rep...

yes i have. SFSO.

"You can't expect "perfection" out of a $250 wannabe of a $4K watch." - yes you can expect "perfection" from a rep for even less money, look at AR'ed asian SFSO for instance. a lot of people are saying that santos is a must have. I just cant understand how they can ignore these things screaming rep.

guys, any lume shots?

How many inaccuracies can you find? the answer to the question is - way too many for a $250 watch.. btw, does anyone else find it funny that silix's pictures have a stamp " DO NOT COPY" ????
