@ hambone: Wicked PAM232! Looks terrific imo.

Personally, I enjoy buying reps because of its affordability hence allowing me to explore different watches. And why do I wear them? Dfferent reasons. Generally, the reps that I wear regularly are the watches I love but not to the extend of buying a genuine piece. There are certain watches I would splurge on a gen and other watches that I would simply stick to reps.

Another time when I wear my reps extensively is when I put myself in a situation where my watches are in vulnerable position of getting scratched or dinged ie. moving, gym, etc. Other than that, I generally find reps are a good way for me to try on watches, kinda like renting a genuine watch in a way.... if u catch my drift.

I have an MF black buffalo as well and I love it. I think MF is a good investment and the colour of the light brown Vachetta looks stunning. If I were you, that would be the one I go for as well. 24/24mm would not only be historically correct, it looks better as well imo. Plus the sewn in 'gpf' style buckle is always a plus for me.

One down side is the thickness bit, but I can live with it. I used to think 'the thicker the better' but now I am pretty much settled in 4-5mm, anymore is just an overkill. I think MF is about 3mm thick.

Good luck.

Looks like a nice day out to have a nice stall set up there. Too bad I cant say the same for the weather here in Melb. I have no air-condition and the weather is slowly killing me.

I am definitely in for this for sure. Can't wait!!

Welcome to the board. As retep said, u can find out more by doing a 'search'. I will help u out a little by saying that Eddie Lee has the best 1950. To make it closer to genuine, u'll need upgrades. Do a search and u'll find out what u need to know. Best of luck.

George's pics are not as clear and it seems like the bezel is not as sharp as Angus. Need better pics to judge.

I am in for group buy. Do u think it can be delivered b4 X'mas? I am moving out of country just before new years and wish to receive it by then.

spock what strap is that? Looks awesome.

I would go for it but already have the 028.

... but looks badass in person. Ask swdivad. He is over the moon when he saw this piece.

Not a big fan of shark straps but the Tan looks wicked. Tan ALWAYS looks good on Pams. Well, that's my view on it. Wear them well Kos, I love these trios.

My bracelet broke. Awaiting River's reply. Had the watch for over a month or two... Not good. Not good at all.

Wow! Looks impressive! Heading over to Josh's site to check it out.....

Excellent review! Initially I was to get one but I chickened out. The reason being, my eyes was set on EL's best fiddy. Been contemplating for quite a while now and decided to get it before it slips away. I was a new project to keep me busy now. This destro sub is one unique piece. I was smittened by it when I first saw it so much so that I almost made a hasty decision to.... ahh... nvm.

Great pics there and the crown looks thick and chunky.

Wear it well, cant wait to see it in person.

River has the best one.

I saw a bunch of River's PP24 (exactly the same) one at Bangkok's MBK. They are at the first floor at one of the small counter-based shops. If anyone is heading there, u might wanna check them out.... or put in a request from Neil (TTK)?

Great mods and pics as well... as usual. What camera are u using?

Hmmmmm let me see....

(I wish!!! )

This one instead.

To *me*... that watch just looks silly (but then again, I thouyght the same about Panerai five years ago (look at me now lol))

It may look better to me on a bigger wrist, but I think the design is pretty bad overall... No offense intended

I am with you swdivad. I never got on with B&R. Given that they are made to have the characteristics of a pilot instrumental dial and should remain as such. It just looks ridiculous on the wrist. I'll run now b4 I get stoned by B&R fans.

Sounds like u had fun!

Would love to get back Europe soon.... and might just drop by UK as well.

I think it is nice.

Regardless of engraving and all the blah blah blahs... I am in for one. The RG version. And the APs as well. Damn Angus, could u hurry the factory? I am running out of patience here... I am in for a Big Bang and two APs and I NEED them NOW.

Nice review Kos. Love the APs.... esp the AP chronos and the Black Theme..*drools*

Always good see the 112 back on... I never get sick of seeing it. Ever.

Good one Joshua. Thanks for your detailed input. IMO Davidsen is good for certain parts like AR fiddy glass, canon pin, etc but in terms of watches my opinion differs. Not dissing Davidsen as I think he is a GREAT asset to our community and he tries very HARD to deliver quality goods to the masses but I think in terms of dial font quality as well as Panerai watch SS casing goes, I would stick to older reps from the rest of our dealers.

Another thing tho, I have seen Davidsen's Radiomir ceramic case and that is one hell of a mod. Big thumbs up to that one.

If I were to get a 127, EL's best 127 would be the one I get. And then do a canon pin job and a relume followed by Davidsen's AR glass.
