I am not conus so I hope you don't mind but where did you get No3 from I am looking for one like that. Or to build one like it.

I have been buying from Toro for over a year and I have been very pleased with the service. That's about five watches up to now.

Panerai 292

great post. I have picked up some good tips here very informative post and fantastic restoration well done and thanks

Prices are definatly down on eBay. So panerai are not as sought after as they were, that is a fact I wanted a pam292 but once I had the rep I had to ask why, you just would not call it out. So they lost a eBay sale there, but I still love the style, and it is style that you're buying. Buy the way I did the same with a submariner I bought here so maybe that doesn't proove to much. Panerai are far from finished though and I am interested to read Hambones comment that they are still selling well in Ceasars palace, Good luck to the brand I will always like there watches

Really really nice watch, looks cool with the strap you have chosen. Hope you give it lot's of wrist time.

Good work well done Needs vintage strap and lots of wrist time Enjoy

brilliant work and stunning results, i just didnt know this could be done I assumed only manufacturers could screen print a dial I want one of these vintage subs 6538 Big Dazza makes these so will wait untill he does some more Well Done!!!

PAM 231

BPFF in Fuerta Ventura

I got myself a Noob V5 ceramic its ok but now I have seen this image, maybe the same watch but with this vintage leather strap. My question is where can I get a rep like this.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Cinturino-Pelle-Bufalo-Vintage-ILLINOIS-20-mm-Watch-Strap-Band-Marrone-/191585853513?hash=item2c9b682049:g:TPAAAOSwpDdVX0F2 Thanks

Thanks lucapulley Hi to all from Wales and a happy new year.

noob v5

nice watch, looks good on the wrist, blue lizard is best but asso also matches lume so yes that works too.

Thankyou Legend, my watch has arrived in time for Christmas and WOW what a gorgeos time peice. It is No3 of 10, I have taken some daytime pics but my photography just could not capture the qualities of this stunning build. The AR coating allows the dial detail to shine through and the evenly recessed besel screws just give that feel of shear quality. However what you cant see is the smooth feel of the mechanism when winding, this is a hand built and oiled movement accurate with a long power resurve and it is going to be reliable, it has been waterproofed and tested so this makes a good choice for holidays. The best way to sum up this build is that you could wear it in a AP boutique with confidence the build is that good. Many Many thanks Legend .nmdsdcid

Here is my first wrist check

Hi I have got one of these, bought from puretime january or february this year,cant remember who maker was but they are cheaper now. My impressions are that this is one classy watch, you just wont see another like it in the wild, the ceramic is like nothing else the bracelet feels like pebbles when handled and the case has that quality feel that matt black ceramic gives. the detail on the crown guard is a nice touch. I am very pleased with mine and have worn it on holiday etc. no problem with acuracy or reliability up to now. The ceramic of the bracelet is harder than the stainless steel of the clasp so polishes wherever it touches. Oh and I had to Loctite the pins back into the clasp after only a couple of wears. which was dissapointing but its a Rep so it is what it is. Hears a good tip that applies to all watchesm do not handle the watch over a tiled floor, its very hard but brittle drop it and the case is not repairable you can google this. Otherwise on the wrist its fine and is as new despite some use because the ceramic does not scratch, infact try rubbing a £1coin against it, it the will leave no mark. Yes I would definatly recomend this watch,. Go for it.

This is the second time in recent weeks that someone has been disapointed with a watch that was doa then starting thread wih SCAM in the title, Seeking advice frm a moderator in PM is the way to go. May be RWG could direct people this way, is that worth conidering guys.?

I ordered watch from Toro in january payment picked up 6 Feb delivered 12 Feb but this is a quieter time, however I did not get tracking number straight away but the watch arrived well packed, perfect. just veiwed qc pics of my next purchase from Toro, so relax, I am just going to wait for tracking number. but yes when youre waiting for youre new watch you can get stressed, I think we all do.

yes i know the feeling of both. But I could fix a pearl!!!

I echo mule play. I love the patina. just gonna get better with use.

GREAT REVEIW, I have 5004 working power reserve and love it but movement is bit noisey and blueish AR is showing wear now, have ownwed gen 5004 but didnt need booth and was getting bashed cos stands off wrist so much, never happend with rep? hope you do some more reveiws, it makes good reading, thanks

Wow! thats some collection of submariners, enjoy! Oh and thanks for the technical explanation. Now I understand

thanks Ezi, had the watch bug many years, now I am finding reps give me access to high end peices without spending mega bucks.
