definitely the nicest tourbillon that one can buy in the 500$ range...and I love the fact that is unbranded... pho...that strap is beautiful! now the watch looks x times better! wear them well guys...

this one is not the one from the turkish guy...but from a guy from the USA... check it out : 200224226679 panerai crown

the SC gators are really beautiful straps...definitely the favorite one in my collection as well...I've mounted it on my 027...with that strap on, the watch is definitely on another level... watchwatcher...the one you have is definitely one of the nicest I have ever seen...if you decide to let it go, a PM to me won't hurt! until then, wear it well!

was he wearing this watch:

he means this (pics used from another member/dealer - do not remember anymore who posted them originally) I have more pics on my laptop...all downloaded from various posts on the different forums from different members that were on the "watch markets"

*edited*

a sort of discussion is already going on here : link

you are right Ken! but I have done my homework already...I have all the maps on how to get to the watch markets...and I have my hotel just in that zone... gavidoc...thanks for the useful info!

I know nothing about HBBs...but I know I like them...wasn't so in the beginings when the got released as reps...but all this posts...all the new models...and now I want one...and soon I'll have one!...now is the hardest decision which one to pick...the super expensive ones are definitely out of the $$$ reach...but this one is nice...looking good...maybe the right one

yes, it has been released....price is around 9,000$ if I remember well

here it is: (advertised on watchmark site)

guys, I really appreciate every single advice given so far... as for my decision to buy this number of reps is mainly due to the fact that every single rep I buy from our collectors, I have to pay additionaly for WU taxes and generally I pay almost every time (9 of 10) custom taxes...thus a rep of 300$ listed from our collectors costs me 40$ plus of WU taxes and 100$ of customs duties...I end up paying something like 440$ a rep that you usually pay 300$ (maybe 315$)... so if I manage to get the same rep in GZ for 50$ less...you can imagine the savings...it's 200$ per rep...maybe even more for the super reps that are being charged 500+$ on the boards... I remember when I ordered from EL the 027...paid it somewhere near 600$ plus WU tax 40$ amd custom taxes were 180$...so you have the idea what I am speaking of...820$ total... I can always start to cry like a little baby if they wanna take the reps away from me...

this one is really a great rep...a sort of super rep before the age of these super reps we are seeing lately (priced at 500+$).. I remember when I got mine from a great forum member, and the price I paid was ONLY 200$... It is one of my favourite reps and I won't ever get rid of it...somebody said it looked like a hockey puck, and that is so true... thanks for the nice review! P.S. I'd love to source a gen yellow dial for this one!

guys tnx for the tips... I will put them in my cargo luggage...and hopefully the customs officers will close an eye (or two)!

guys...thank for the advices... any other advice (even the crazy ones ) are welcome...

buy a lot of reps? I need an advice...since I've been going to the motherland of all our reps and since I have made some sort of pre contacts with a source for reps and got a confirmation that the requested reps could be available for pick up (7 of them!!!)...I was wondering if it is OK for me to try to bring them with me through the customs...the main question came to my mind because I have to change plane in Frankfurt (Germany) and I know that the germans have problematic customs... the 7 reps will be of value of 2000+$ (yep, all kind of super reps )...so the question is...should I try to smuggle them through the customs or not? I know about the possibility to send them by post to my country...but then again is the risk (since we are speaking for 7 of them)...and I think it could be easier to smuggle them during the flight... another idea that came to my mind is to dissasemble the reps...dials and movements from cases...this way could be easier that the reps pass the customs... any advice is more than welcome!

I saw it just the other day on Josh's website and I felt in love...I am already inquiring by the dealers about it, and I think I will definitely purchase it...sooner or later... I ve never seen a review of this one...I know that one member had a similar one with the RG bezel and sold it just a few weeks ago...that model is lovely as well...

here you go:

here you go : LINK TO PICS OF HARD TO FIND PAMs

because it's a fake...pics are bad, not the best one...but look at the PR...it should be recessed, and it isn't...it's what I see from the pic...if the seller would post a front face pic, then it would be even more obvious... what do you think t? well he/she could have easilly post the pic of the caseback // front of the watch // original documents, bill of purchase // -- but simply did not because it would unveil the non authenticity of the watch

...I sent this very same link through PM to Theo...

guys, I really hope you find it...PM sent to Theo for (hopefully) a good source...
