FROGMAN

awesome!

I did a review on PWC's 233 last year....it was a fine watch, but like many of my projects it went out the door to pay for my next project . Here are some pictures:

Hmm.. where'd you buy that one FROGMAN?

I'll give you a hint....start with an "A" and end with a "D"

With the moonie, all roads lead to a Gen.

Nice one Frogman

Thanks bro! This is the exact style rep that sent me over the edge....I had to buy a gen! You're lucky if you can find one of these reps anymore.

I owned 3 of these reps in the last few years...this being the first one:

.....I was always amazed on the accuracy and quality of these reps.....after selling my last rep Moonie (thinking I was done with the moon watch all together) I soon regretted it but couldn't get my hands on a 4th....

So, I finally did this:

Hold on to that watch....it is a beauty! ....AND very close to GEN!

Great photography skills bro....I really need to learn how to use my camera . Enjoy it sir....looks nice mounted for sure!

I have not officially started the pre-order for the PAV98 straps, but if you're interested send me an email at frogmanwatches@yahoo.com and I'll put you on the list. Don't worry RED...I have you down!

That is awesome! I'm really thinking about buying a GEN PO....great job on this....would be very hard to get called out on that one.

The 24 is my grail! Wear it well and if you get tired of it let me know

Hey frogman, is this an "off the shelf" replica or did you modify? Looks amazing.

It is highly modified and not "off the shelf"......take a look at the list of mods in my first post....you'll see a lot of work went into creating this piece. Also, it has one of the accurate dials with the off white lettering which is correct to gen....

Frogman

It is the most accurate Radiomir I've owned. I had an opportunity to compare it to the GEN version and it was dead-on from the front. Amazing.....wish I wore Radiomirs though

I'm saying goodbye to my 183G....thought I'd post a few pictures

Farewell, you have inspired me to go GEN

most excellent collection my friend. i have almost the same 114 with gen dial and strap.

i paid dearly but its very nice.

That's a beauty and you're right the cost is substantial to build one of these. Actually I'm thinking about trying to trade it for a franken 24.....I've wanted a nice 24 for awhile now and honestly the 114 rarely gets any wrist time.....same for the the 183G.....it is one of the most accurate reps I've owned and yet it's been worn 4-5 times max! LOL....gotta love this hobby

Frog

Thanks guys!

Thought I'd share some quick pictures of my Panerai family

Left=PAM GMT 63C | Flav lume, Chieftang Cyclops, T-Crown, Updated CG with tightened/flattened lever, updated datewheel (Soon to have a LEO DW), GEN strap 24/22

Top=PAM Radiomir 183G | Flav lume, crystal with proper A/R, repolished case, polished crown tube, GEN Radiomir strap 27/22

Right=PAM Luminor 111I | Directly from LH with Rex single sided A/R, GEN Strap 24/22

Bottom=PAM Luminor 114f | Jimmy Fu CG, Jimmy Fu case, Palp crown, GEN Dial, GEN hands, and a nice engraved movement

Looks good.

But can the strap swim??

If I remember correct, that particular strap did not have the water resistent treatment applied to it.....not sure I offered it when silverspeed ordered. However, I do offer a "kodiak" style strap now....that can swim

Love the subs....the dial looks really good on this one....Look at that CG ....VERY COOL!

The PAM 63 has a smooth dial....Are you talking about the 29?

Without a doubt the V2.....I'm wearing the V3 right now.....really nice timepieces...in fact I'm considering buying the GEN now!

Zig, your skills always impress me bro.....I have always loved your work....I'm loving that workbench setup!

Frog

I love the 114.....it is a beauty bro! Enjoy it.

Just sent my LH111i to Rex for his AR treatment. That's the only thing I was not very happy with...everything else is amazing. However, Rex did mention the lack of quality in the LH movement. Oh well, unless someone has a spare 111i gen movement laying around I'm going to stick with it .

Here are some quick pictures of the LH111i before the new AR...I'll post new pictures when I receive the watch back from Rex:

This is why I'm having the AR redone

Here is a movement shot

Simply awesome! I love it....this is exactly what I'm after.....VERY NICE.

Good info for fellow Houstonians....

Thanks everyone. Actually I can't take credit for this one.....the watch was built by another member. With the Jimmy Fu Case/CG and Palp crown combo this is one hell of a FrankenRep!
