Cyber - where did you get that BB strap? Looks great! I want to get something a bit more unique, like that, for mine rather than the typical distressed black one.

I just picked up one of these from another member and I'm absolutely smitten! I didn't see what the big fuss was about from the pictures but on be wrist it is spectacular! It looks fantastic with a navy or grey suit and great with casual wear also. It's also the highest quality rep I've ever owned. My question is how much better is the v2 expected to be? The one I have has been relumed and glows like a torch but I paid a premium for it and I'm wondering if I should sell it now while it is in demand and just wait for the v2 to save a few bucks (for another watch of course!). What are others thoughts?

Ok so my problematic PAM 111 is up to it again. Not long after I had fixed the issue with the crown not engaging the minute hand now appears stuck. I suspect the gear train has become disengaged as the second and hour hand seem to be fine. The minute hand rotate when I am setting the time but just don't move when it is running. I know there is a famous panerai "smack" but I can't find exactly how to do it. Can someone tell me before I start trying to take this guy apart again? Any other potential quick fixes? It's a h-fac Asian Pam 111

Thanks. I wrote to Jacob

So I'm still trying to figure out what my options are for my broken Ingy bracelet. Does anyone know where I can get an inexpensive (<$100) Lester croc with deployment strap for my Ingy? Can I get replicate ones on eBay? What size do I get? Is it the same as gen? Sorry for the noon style questions... Thanks

Wow thanks! This forum is amazing! Will take a stab and let you know how it goes. Thanks again!

So I have a h-factory PAM 111 which I love but has recently been giving me some grief. I can't seem to set the time. When I pull out the crown it gets to the end of the crown guard but turning it just winds the watch. It just won't pull into the setting position. When I get home in going to try and remove the crown guard and see if it pull further but I was wondering if this is an easy fix with someone with no experience but has some tools. Thanks!

Anyone have a screengrab or cache for those of us who missed it? The thread has since been removed.

Why not look into bitcoin?

Yeah really..He wasn't a total a-hole or anything, but it was just so tacky and tasteless the way he was trying to impress me and everyone with his watches. I couldn't believe that this guy actually gets watch review articles published in a major NYC newspaper.

So I met this douchy guy at a party a few months ago. He was wearing a Patek on one wrist and some Tag(if I remember correctly) on the other - tacky I know. Anyways he claimed to be some watch critic - here is his blog http://spanishrob.com/ . Out of curiosity, are these legit? I asked to see the Patek and to be honest it didn't look great but no sure rep tells.

Fine day at Central Park

This has been a bad week for watches. Yesterday my Ingy clasp broke, and this morning I lost a strap bar/lug off my 288k. With my PAM 111 off for repairs, 3/4 of my watches are out of action! And the remaining Hublot all black isn't exactly an office friendly watch! Anyways, just wanted to reach out and see if anyone had an extra Radiomir 288k bar (the one at the 5 o'clock position, although I think they are interchangeable) they'd be willing to part with for a few bucks. I'm hesitant to go out to our dealers, especially since I'd rather have this sooner than later. Thanks!

Thanks, Ill see if a watch smith can fix it.. Have most of the pieces

So long story but basically my girlfriend broke the clasp on my ingy. This isn't the vintage but the more modern one which is no longer available with the steel bracelet. Does anyone know what my options are aside from getting a new strap (although the Kevlar strap is nice). Is this something a local watch smith could fix? Thanks

Looking forward to it!!! Two weeks and counting!

Whoops disregard above I now see the great thorough reply from mastermidalliance! Thanks master, this is good info.

Hmm yeah maybe I'll just pick up a couple cheapie beaters for fun while I'm there. But I am interested in getting bespoke suits and shirts made anyone know the best place for that and is there a guide to ensuring I the best for my money? <br />As far as booze ill be packing my own from NYC . Any other cool things I should be on the look out for in these countries?

Awesome man! I'm all over it! Look to hear from me in the next few weeks!

Thanks I'm really looking forward to it! Legendkiller, ill drop you a note when I'm in town!

So my work is relocating me to Asia for the next three months! Ill be based out of Kuala Lampur with regular trips to Singapore and Tokyo. And of course the big thing on my mind is reps! I did some research on the forums and it looks like there are some market places in KL where I can find high end stuff. Anything else? Does anyone know about getting a bespoke suit? What are other cool things I should be sure to do? Any members in any of these cities who can meet up?

Well it goes without sayin that I won't be flaunting whatever I wear (rep or gen) but is the official rule ( and I thought it was guidance not rule but anyways) to not wear reps into an AD which carriers the brand or is it any AD? In the case of any AD doesn't that mean you are breaking forum rules by wearing your reps into Macy's or Bloomingdales?
