R! my pic is from an auction site, don't remember which one but it was from one of the estimeed ones...so it is a gen piece...I will go through my pics to see if there are some better pics...in the meantime I will send you a PM with a useful link...

picture sent on e-mail...I sincerely hope it will be useful

I would go for the long point as well... I have one big pic (4MB), it's a high resolution pic of a Vinty with those hands (I can drop it to the e-mail address to one of you) : here is a cut of the hands part... here is a nice pic where the hour hand is clearly seen :

my vote goes to hands nr.13 from the Ross overview of Cortebert&Angelus hands design... my 2nd option are the hands from nr.15 thanks again for the effort put until now into this project with all the great info and data

D., That's a great link, I don't remember seeing that pdf doc...and it is good that I know italian so it will be a nice read!

I look on daily basis through the various forums searching for photos of vintage PAM's... Here is a nice pic :

G! your wish is my command.... I remember that there was a pic somewhere of the wristshot of the Egiziano worn by Ralph Lauren (he is/was one of the lucky owners) but I cannot find it now...then maybe it could be one of the pics I posted...

correct answer... There is a member selling his 082 for a fair price (sale on RWI and RG)...I got mine 082 and it is def my favorite manual wind PAM...the blue dial is simply amazing...

I have this one - one of the best looking pics ever made of a vintage PAM IMO...

cool looking combination! somehow I knew that you were to order the yellow dial Seawolf...

the strap looks amazing...one of the best straps out there for a vintage PAM! I have one from peter as well..the caitlin I series...lovely strap as well... I haven't ordered a single strap for a month now! maybe I should contact peter..

narikaa is there at the moment...and TTK as well

DSN offers manual wind PAMs as well!

1. DSN hasn't got the PAM212...only the PAM217 2. MBW...PAMs?!!! you've seen MBW's PAMs?!!!...you might be the only one in the world who saw them...

you are really a Panerai encyclopedia! the asking price for this one is even higher than the standard fiddy's...even now when the prices of the 127 tend to go down a little bit (available now below 20K while a couple of months ago they were going for 23+K) this is priced at 28K...

It arrived a week ago but I forgot to update you guys...

has anybody of you ever heard about this? check this e-bay listing : 370143872747 it says : There were 1,950 of these PAM 127s made. Then there were 12 OOR (out of range) models released after. So this is 10 of the 12 OORs. There are 1962 of these out there, all together. here is the pic of the caseback :

most comfortable is the Corum ACC 48 ti, even though is 48mm it wears really comfortable...it sits well on my wrist and being made from titanium weights just enough : while the least comfortable is this russian diver, huuuuuuuge watch...I believe it's 65-75mm w crown :

K&W! I forgot to update you about the ring...It arrived and it looks great! thnaks again...

you'll enjoy the GTG guys, no doubt there! once you see VDB's collection you'll be surprised... this time I will have to skip it...see you next time!

franken - like frenkenstein a piece built by using spare parts from different sources (gen or even rep sometimes)

+1 an example of what shouldn't be repped...a waste of time by our dear friends in China!

maybe you understood correctly what the OP said...after rereading the subtitle of the thread... but probably the OP is not aware of the cost the modders ask for some of this pieces..depending on all the work done, parts,....and so on
