I have a few of the saddleback pieces! Duffle Messenger a few belts wallet... The wallet is a great piece. Much nicer then most of the other gen wallets (LV Bally Paul Smith Hermes) that I have.

Located in Canada I sent you a PM

SO what you are saying is that I should stick to the NOOB factory best that are listed on some sites??? It looks like I may be in trouble though. Has not Chinese New Year started!!!

I have been checking out a few and this one looks really nice. I have never even tried on a Panerai so no idea as to the reps quatlity in that regard. Any thoughts on how it stacks up to the original? I have been glancing over the photos of the watch it looks fairly close to the original in the Perfect Clones site photos. How does it look when you get the real thing in your hands is it passable as a gen?? One last thing I was wondering is with all these dealers around is it available a bit cheaper any where else?? THANKS

My only thought would be should it not be a bit more aged??? Like this???

I hate to say it but they came with both clasp the standard clasp and the flip lock...

I have also never lost the bezel or the insert....

I love this watch!! I have to say I like the dial of the 5513 a bit more. Too me it looks less cluttered.

Go with a newer style bracelet... The thing does not have to be too accurate, like I said before they are at the newest almost 30 years old. Plus the newer style flip lock clasp and bracelet will make it a bit nicer piece. You feel a bit better with it on then the clasp...

Yes that is my 1655 in the picture...

I think you need to tone down the hands and may be the dial.. These things are almost 30 years old.. It should look a bit more like this..

Here is a hideous pick of a mid size on my wrist... The members thoughts on the size????

My only question of the tank rep would be is that the mens size????

Does anyone think the 35mm pasha is too small?????

It is just the size is 35mm too small for a Pasha??? Is the medium Tank Fran not big enough??? JUst not sure... I think the Pasha compares to a Rolex Datejust 36mm nicely. The Tank in medium just not sure. I can pick up both watches at an incredible prce.

OK sorry I just measured it 7"

Not exactly what you are looking for but to give you an idea of a gen here is a pick..

I too have a Patek which I wear regularly. It is priced significantly over 50k. Like cars I enjoy my watches they are made to be worn.

WAs looking at Cartier Tank Francais watch, the medium size. Now I am a short little guy according to the lady at the clothing store Harry Rosen. 5'6" 160 lbs. Would this watch be acceptable to wear as a dress watch. Or would a Cartier Pasha say a 35mm, be better for every day and dress. Then again are either of these even a man size watch??? Just asking would appreciate some honest opinions would be appreciated. THANX

Here is one I have. Yours does look really nice!!! Sorry the pic is not the best.

Any one at all have one or know of a good one??? THANX

Just some incredible information here. I love this forum!!! I have been looking for an Explorer 1 for awhile to know you can make one with gen parts in remarkable!!

Why not order a Canada Goose jacket. THey wear them to the arctic they should be good enough for your weather. North Face has gotten old now.

I really like the vintage Explorers. I just need some one to point me down the right road to get one. Or someone to run down the list of parts I would need to build one using rolex parts as some have mentioned.. Or one that is currently for sale at the moment. THANX

I guess no one knows much about them????
