That looks very good

Do you have a Source for such a thing?

Tidy

This watch needs no mods apart from putting it on decent strap. That rubber does it no favours

That Lume is great , actually quite like that shopping trolley when it glows

It is very tempting

The new album is ok , this song and video are very great though a bit Tarintino'esq

Being possessed with a somewhat fay set of wrists, finding a good fitting strap to sport my Pamiliy can be a challenge. I am fortunate enough to have 2 ABP straps and I have to say that they are well nice. I like the 24/22 measurements over the 24/24 because the taper makes it a little more dressy and you can get to put your tangs on. Really want one of their Honey Croc's Anyone else have the same appreciation for these French craftsmen? Lets see them ? ST4

Wind it, Wear it , enjoy it , pretty easy ( post Q's & Photos in the Panerai section)

I understand your frustration but as Toro says , he ain't like us. Thankfully few people are because i can have a tendency to make peoples eyes glase over when I talk DW fonts & and T vs L dials. We can be seriously boring when we get going

It's not right but it's ok 261 http://www.asian7750...61b/PN261b3.jpg

This watch has been gnawing at me for ages, this may just tip me over the edge. How you finding the Strap?

Looks like perfection especially with that combo, is that a Dirk?

Wonderful looking timepiece

Thats a f#@ker sorry to hear that. Given that the photos show movement in the seconds hand , it was either working or perhaps a different watch. Hope you get it sorted.

Nice 16600 is that one of the new ones? How you finding it ? Your DRSD is very special to.

DH, I've had a reasonable number of replica watches from different brands from the various XYZ factories through my hands. These have ranged from below $100 to $1200+. I, and me thinks most normal people wouldn't see this as being a low quality watches . Infact on the wrist it strikes quite a presence. I hear your reservations on the strap. A colleague of mine has the same watch and has kept in on rep strap, standing next to him in the lift you really cannot tell. They are not that bad , but not that great and easily bettered. I think the bracelet is a really great value option, I should of got one myself. Thing is I can't pull them off, my wrists are way to puny. In my early rep collecting days I hunted high and low for one and when I got one it was ridiculous on me and weighed a tonne. I think these new ones might be better. As for the lume its not that fantastic and doesn't propose to be and again its not a hideously glaring fault. I'm always pleasantly surprised when it glows during the day when I move from the outside to an albeit darker inside environment . The A21J and strangely more expensive option is IMHO the poorer version. It was the first version and though I'm sure the movement is solid but the thin DW font annoys me. They are ok I think they are the same as the ones in the IWC Big pilots they work fine. The A7750 is the better movement. I've had/got several of these and this has been the only temperamental one. Somewhere in the mechanism the date wheel starts to engage to change between the hours of 10pm and 2am. This is why its recommended to only change the date after 2 or before 10. I usual set them to 6:30, but haven't following that rule. This is only an issue with these chronograph based movements and your standard eta 2836 types aren't prone to issues AFAIK. Its a real shame that the rep community is so critical of this 1950 range because for less that $300 you can get yourself a reasonably nice watch. The case set is much more interesting than the bog standard Luminor especially with the polished bezel and brushed case. I am sure more members have them but are reluctant share them to avoid the potential scorn especially around the look of movement. Its disappointing that we can't be more supportive, enjoy them and appreciate them as they are. With the pending 3 barrel P.2002 replica movement happening, it would of been nice to see a decent 233 in this case set. Sadly I doubt the factories will bother given the criticism these watches undeservedly get. I hope to get my date fixed soon and hope you decide to take the plunge and enjoy your rep. ST4

People will quibble this way and that on the so called accuracy on the 300 3 day 1950 Range. I wore mine in a Pawn shop that sold reps and gens and I gave it to the guy behind the counter whilst I tried on some gen Rollies , he said very nice watch and didn't know it was a rep until he turned it over, and went shame about the movement. Until recently this has been the Panerai from my collection that has had the most wrist time. Sadly I have recently developed an issue with the Date due to my own fault of not adjusting the time before or after 10 & 2. It still turns over at 12 but cannot be changed manually though not critical more than a tad frustrating . The A7750 is the better version to get . Here is my 312 on a gen oem strap.

Burling

That looks wonderful. I prefer the flat dial over the lined tuxedo on the 29. The crystal looks nice and clear. Wear it well

So which one is best?

That's one quality looking piece you got there
