It's still new and its Blue

I was thinking the very same thing as I removed my Ceramic HBB from its box yesterday as soon a s it arrived. But when I see the sparkle in that ceramic and it change colour ...................who cares about the $$$$$$ I mean its a 12k+ watch, right?

I really don't know what it is about reps, you are so correct that there are good value and high quality lesser brand gens to be had, but Reps have ther certain uncertainity about them that is compelling I guess.

Good call on you Pam024, but how much more pleasure does it provide compare to your reps? of course its a better investment $wise and quality but is it a greater watch just because its authentic? because I get the same feeling from my Reps as do my Gen Tudors, even more so when they are new.

The price of goods, what ever they are, seem to be on the up globally, I paid over $4 for a coffee in Starbucks the other day, I mean when did a coffee go over the 4dollar mark? and don't even start me on petrol/gas.

Good reps are bound to cost a little more these days I guess

Now go get that Big Bang, I can hear it calling your name

I've heard somewhere that it can be quite common for the factrories to use movements with dates in non-date Rolex watches.

My Bond'ish Sub, which i believe was originally from Silix'

has the 3 click crown and feels very much as if the date wheel is still there, I have yet to check the movement. But it works fine as it is.

Great watch, looks mighty fine to me

OH THATS JUST FINE AND DANDY

I've been putting off reading this , for this very reason............................................................... because I knew it would JUST MAKE WANT ONE

AAGGGHHHHHHH I had my nose pressed up against the window the AD in town today , lusting after these and a Railmaster

I HAVE NO MORE ROOM IN THE BOX

I know another box

AWESOME REVIEW DUDE , tis much appreciated, sort of !!!!

I always thought it was EEE TEE AYY, but read somewhere recently its Eta, one word.

sorry to hijack this Pronounciation thread, but can someone confirm if HUBLOT is Pronounced Hugh Blow

And there I was thinking I was a special case.

Welcome back, don't stay away for so long next time and the urges may be less extreme.

What can I say, I was TOLD to sell some. Got rid of 2 average Gens and 3 pretty good reps only to have to have 4 Reps on order pretty much as soon as the paypal money had cleared.

And now I've found that I don't even have to buy new Reps because there are STRAPS. Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Went on Holiday to come back to 4 Nato's and Gabo. WTF!!!!

Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change

My name's Stormy and I'm a Repaholic

Can't seem to shake this thing off

Nice Aqua By-Tor , I've got to look at those Tag's some more

Wow Awesome pictures

Come on now you've got to post a pic at least.

I think Lady V has left the building

Love the Nato

Not sure if I'm more stupid for answering but here goes.

Width 24/24mm

Length 120/75mm

At a guess

Or you could use Eurotimez here as he has great Noobs

Firstly welcome 2 the pam world

Secondly what took you so long?

Good questions

Length of life depends on too many factors to put a figure on it. But even if I used my Greg Stevens strap everyday I would expect to last well over a year. So knock that idea on the head straight away. Saying that I've had some straps that have not seen the month out. But the leather was thin. A deployant on your Croc could be a good idea but most Pam folk prefer a buckle. As for cleaning there are plenty of leather cleaning products I'm sure. I've even used shoe polish on a Vintage MF 1942 and it comes up a treat. As I'm sure you're now aware Pams don't come in 1's and we are always searching for the perfect strap buckle combo.

Best of luck. And look forward to hearing some of the answers you get

ST

Good Idea. I learnt that Gens don't fit the hard way!!! But they are a small feet of engineering given the spring loaded part. Best of luck I might partake if you get enough punters

I've got an older dsn195 and its a freakin awesome watch. Ok its not perfect but considering the gen is going 15K+ what do you expect for 3-400$ the crown maybe slightly up having not seen a gen I can't compare. Of the 5 pams I've got its the one I've taken on holiday with me. I've just invested in a GSD whiskey strap for it and it looks even better. Is one solid piece of kit. If I could afford a Gen I would I can't so this is the next best alternative. I hope the 229 I've just ordered from him is of similar quality.

Enjoy

ST

Had a 204 just sold it. Have a bit of regret. They are very good watches and should appreciate as they are soon to be no more. They are very similar to gens.

Grab one whilst you can

ST

I've felt the same, I've been desperate for some colour in my collection was think Super heritage first but I saw a Gen and it was too big. So I've gone 229 a should be here in a week or 2. The choice was because I already have 2 Pam Ti and really wanted a Pam with a Date on. As I find my self look at my wrist to find the date when I'm working and these other Pams are dateless. I must be getting practical I'm my old age.

the Militare does have quite a call to.

Decisions ?????

ST

ZING ZING

Love that Tudor, and the Rollies not bad either

Nice Pictorial Thanks

ST
