Gen Swiss ETA date wheel.

This picture you posted is of a GEN movement and watch... Easily confused with Flav's work =O) He's amazing!
-
The 112E watch pictured is mine. I think my watch is more "Ultimate" than DSNs hahaha!
What's not pictured is all the new parts... ie JF case, JF CG etc etc.
I originally purchased it from flav. I'm a person of habit.... I need everything to be THE BEST. So I moded a perfect Flav watch to be even more perfect.
Just a note the strap in the pictures is not included. But an exact same strap from my gen 112G is.
The story about this was I wanted to buy a Panerai... Didn't know if I'd like it enough... so I purchased the best rep I could find. Ended up falling it love with it. It's a shame Flav is no longer doing this stuff. So I went out and bought a Gen 112G and i'm so much in love that I'm flying to Hong Kong to buy a Gen Fiddy.
I own 2 reps.... UPO fully moded $1800 with gen metal strap (I have a gen as well and they are 1:1) and this Panerai 112E.
Reps are great fun... I own a few Gens.... so if and when I do purchase a rep... I mod the CRAP out of them.
I know I could get a Planet Ocean for about 2200-3000... but what's the fun in that? It was a fun "could it be done" project and I had a blast doing it.
Gens I own
Platinum President Rolex day date with rolex diamond bezel and dial
Gold President Rolex day date
Rolex Daytona SS
Rolex Daytona two tone
Panerai 112G
Cartier Roadster
Dior D'Trick chrono full diamond bezel
Omega Planet Ocean
Tag Carrera Chrono
Oris Williams F1
Oris Chrono
soon Panerai 127 FIDDY
enjoy the pics =O)

I think you should be a supporter to sell something on this board...and this FS post of yours is against the rules...
edited, apologies.

It's the one on the right in the pic with the lower bars on the letter "A", of course.
Yup you're right!
This is an old pic. Currently it has a JF case and CG, gen Panerai sapphire Crystal and hands.
Only tell is the "A"s
Good job!
-
I think I unofficially have the best fully moded 112E base out there =Op
Guess which one it is...
-
Awesome watch with mods!
Date looks like it's off to the left.. anyway to fix that?
-
Heh, I mentioned that 24/22 would be the most common, since that's the buckle size that comes with most reps (24/24 is becoming increasingly common).
And that 115/75, though OEM size, is generally too small as average for guys. 125/75 was my suggestion.
Thoughts? It's a big investment for Tourby. Best to get it right!
I agree 24/24 and 125-130/75 We need some TAIL! =Op
Consider one of these straps sold to me.
thanks

Beautiful piece!
Is that a scratch on the crystal?!
-
That's not a JF case in the pics.
Ravishingricks is. What a beauty!
I'll take pics of my extra case for you later. Just let me know what angles and shots you need.

Crown in the ebay auction looks way too thin.
-
I have a SS Palp crown if any one is interested Ordered 2 only used one.
SOLD
-
Tried a rep crown and it works...
-
The orange dials are notorious for having misaligned dial markers and a crooked omega logo.
You can always put in a gen dial if you get a lemon.
-
The L Swiss Made L is "better" but is still too close to the 6. It's also too long/big (Whatever you want to call it)... It screams rep.
Better than the norm I'd agree
-
I've owned the watch for 1 month before I sent it to The Zigmeister. I had no problems with it at all.... It was sent to him for peace of mind.... and I know my mind will be at peace for a very long time. Money well spent!
Thanks again The Zigmeister!
-
DO IT! You won't regret it....
I sent mine to The Zigmeister and got full movement service on my UPO along with other stuff...
The watch doesn't sound the same when it ticks or when the rotor moves when I shake it....
It just feels and sounds more solid! After experiencing that.... you know your watch is gonna last a very very long time!
Thanks The Zigmeister! You are DA MAN!
-
hip hip hurray for Flav!
-
waiting to hear back from him....
Emails sent and PM replied on that used 177H. You'll be happy with it as I was.

The fonts on DSN's is wrong. Compare to gen and you'll see that they aren't long enough They should go further past the 11 and 2 markers. That setup is more correct for the pam LOGO and pam050and 036 etc.
Also DSN's saphire glass looks way to high on one side compared to the other... Also too thick.
DSN makes teh best out of the box reps.... but if you want accurate and 95% + close to gen or modify you should look elsewhere.
Sandwich isn't deep enough.
Andrew and Josh is more accurate in the way of fonts and cutouts. But, if you want the Ultimate/Perfect Pam you'll have to go and seek Vac or Flav.
Here's minevVac fully moded (not one detail left out)... It's for sale BTW =Op
-
I just got a Jimmy Fu case, bezel and caseback.
He's all out of front sapphire crystals...
So I'm wondering.... Will DSN's AR crystal fit?
thanks in advance

Gerez some reps look better than that. I guess they just need some TLC
Bought them to wear them... not ot sit in a box all day Plus the gold one is from the 80s.
You should see my Daytona... the bracelet doesn't look that brushed anymore hahaha!
-
The answer is....... they are both Gens.
Gold DD was handed down to me by my father. It's OLD, purchased in the 80s
The "SS" one is mine purchased 5 years ago. It's actually 100% full platinum with Rolex diamonds not after market =Op
Sent the platinum one out today to get serviced and get that date wheel reset/fixed.
Both purchased at authorized dealers.
Kudos to those who said they were gen... Yup the Pam is a rep... I wear it more, over my gens.
Roll call.. How many RWG members have a genuine Panerai?
in The Panerai Area
Posted
Gen Pam 112G and 183G
I love the engraved bridges.
