Nice looking watch you have there, who knows what its made of, looks the part even on a wooden arm

Quality Watch wear it well

Pure Sweetness

Lake Eyre

Sweet view you've got there

I to am certainly missing the thrill buying something from the cartel, got plenty of reasons why not to these day and finding it more difficult to find a reason why to. Kind of wish is was different but got to look after the $$ a bit more these days.

God Bless you all.

Blimey thats a looker, what a wonderful collection of Photos thanks for sharing

I think the answer to your question is No. There are no 40mm ti cases and no 40mm ti case backs and there are no 40 or 44mm ti cases that have pushers. I will happily stand corrected and would loved to be proved wrong but I don't think so some how. Enjoy the watch for what it is not worry about those details it will drive you mad

P4GTR, I commend you for bringing up the possible negative points that RWG has, I think you are right the other forums do have seem to have a better range of dealers that post new items regularly , I know watcheden posted something recently , but RWG has the most inactive range of dealer posts as far as I can see. Having 3 areas for trade seems like a good and fair idea on paper , but I rarely look at the Fundraiser sections (and Ive missed some goodies) but for me 3 areas doesn't work. I know RWG needs $ to keep going but other forums use post count which is clearly the system that works for them . I dont have to much issue with the layout I agree search is pants and google is better. Yes we have a wealth of information , yes everybody is great here RAH RAH but does that bring the punters in and keep it fresh , well its doesn't seem to be that way these days. We dont seem to have that much needed USP anymore ....... IP aint enough I MISS THE GRADING SYSTEM thats what pulled me in. And another thing is wrist checks I wish I could participate but everybody's pictures always so pixel perfect and mine are rubbish and its lost its fun factor for me, but these days its EVERYDAY !!!! I think it used to be 3 times a week (4 max) It was beginning of the week , and then Hump day and then the weekend , again the grading system worked so well here and it was easy to participate and there were massive threads now its lost its sparkle. I wish it was different.

Awesome sight indeed

Can your wife have a word with mine please

such sweetness

Great looking watch and a nice combo with strap, some really nice pictures there. Thanks for Sharing

Very Very Cool

I look forward to seeing a wristie from you if they rep it, thing is the movement doesn't even look that different form the venus/segull/lemania manual wind chronograph so it should be an easy build. As for the Rad and moving away from the same old same old should be commended . But that grid mesh bit at the bottom left does or shows nothing. The subdials are to hard to read, I think its just poorly executed.

I think these are some of the worst watches to come out of factory Panerai. I love the simplicity of the original Mares , they are quite the most understated chronographs I've seen, and when I saw this one I thought YIPEEEE RepIt RepIt RepIt !!!! then I saw the size seriously WTF ! Stupid to the extreme unwearable by 90% of the population, as for the Rad great engineering witha stunning movement but that dial just doesn't work , its messy and barely readable. WRONG!!

Fantastic set of photos of some really very nice watches, great collection

Those are 2 very unique straps on 2 great looking watches. They make me feel very conservative in my choice of straps. Good work ST4

now thats a mighty fine looking watch, from whence that came?

P4GTR I think you raise a good point, but I think there is a wider issue at hand, with respect to the sales quite a few seem to be from the Highly modded Pre A variety and I think people have has 1 or 2 pre Aprojects on the go and once they've finished its like OK well that was fine but the journey was the fun part the actual watch can be taken or left and so gets put on the market.There also seems of been a few cheapo versions for sale and people have upgraded to higher quality versions. I don't really see that many Mid range reasonable quality versions for sale that often. I'm a PAM fan I have had a few but I have noticed a real change in the PAM forum of late, seriously apart from the on going 253 212 debates from what I can see No one is buying PAM's anymore maybe the odd GMT from DSNand 1 or 2 have got the PT Ti Rad but no one is showing anything new from Josh orlikes. Pete M started a thread back on the 233 and 270 there was like 2 members with them and don't even start me on the 123 this was a grail of mine for so long and when it comes out I cant even be arsed getting one because I've become so anally retentive that the date font isn't good enough etc etc its only a188$ and has a near perfect CG which sell for 80$ on the used market alone. Basically the pursuit for perfection has sucked the spontaneous cheapo fun out of the panerai rep arena, unless it's a Jimmy'd up, V CG'd, FGD dialled and PVD by 80 year old Italian virgins version 99% close to a gen that took 2 years to put together and crossed 4 continents in it build , then noone puts them up for show. Seriously the PAM forum is quite an intimidating place to tread these days and I don't foresee there being a great set of new PAMS coming out of china simply because its doesn't look like they are getting bought anymore. Sad but true , I give thanks to DSN at least he tries every once in a while.

Come Pete those Hammers are just above that relegation line they need you back in the stands. Hope you are on the mend. ST4

Awesome looking piece , those hands work so well
