  1. I've tried this watch on at an AD and it is simply stunning. Presumably at least in part because of the micro rotor they were able to decrease the thickness of the watch to 12mm which makes all the difference in the world in terms of being an even more refined dress watch. I do love me some beefy Panerai watches but in terms of pure class this watch absolutely takes the cake. If this were ever repped reliably I would not hesitate to purchase it .. as it is that $7,500 gen price tag is looking almost reachable.
  2. Thanks for all the insight guys. I'm still on the fence about this deal or a super rep of one of the Pannies I've had my eye on for years, but we'll see. Gonna pour through Ale's guide and make a decision soon. I'm both intrigued by the commemorative, special edition nature of the set but also a bit leary of it as they are perhaps a bit more suspect among knowledgeable persons who understand the limited and pricier nature of the watches.
  3. Yeah, I've checked out his comprehensive guide and it's pretty impressive. In this case I couldn't really determine the quality of the watches included in the set ( a PAM 594 and 602) and was curious if anyone else might have an idea. I'm kind of assuming these are lesser quality reps being foisted off as a combo "deal", but if they are better quality reps then it seems like a decent deal just to get my foot in the door. Trusty claims they're both 21.6k bph movements which seems to suggest they're better than the 594 and 602 I see sold individually, typicallly with 18.8k bph movements .. but I'm sure that is far from a definitive evaluation. Anyway, if anyone has some more insight, great, otherwise thanks for pointing me to Ale's guide and I'll come to a decision eventually.
  4. Hey all, Looking to buy my first quality Panerai rep (not purchased in some back room in Shanghai with minimal knowledge or awareness of different factories/makers) and was curious for some experienced advice. I was thinking of going simple and sweet, possibly a V3 111 or a 000 or 005 ( I like the base, and logo look), but then saw this deal being offered by Trusty and was intrigued by the possibility of getting two very different looking watches (primarily in case and dial color/finish) for the price of one. Trusty PN785 2 in 1 Question I have is whether anyone knows anything about the quality of the reps in the PN785 2 for 1 deal. I do like the look of both watches (and of course the ability to instantly own/wear 2 different looks), but if they are not particularly good quality reps, I'd just as soon get a single, well-repped watch from the list above .. and maybe a couple straps to create the different looks. Thanks for any comments/advice.
