First my 003 has this long tan shrunk leather strap.. 5+mm thick with a beautiful grain resembles very much the cashmere strap on the 1950. (Well I won't say identical but it is VERY close) Excellent work done by Aaron/HKTAN to leather I provided him.. I like it a lot..

And the white gator pattern:

This is the grey suede.. Custom order from Aaron

Thanks guys.. another 'happy couple' photo:

I wonder as well.. I guess people don't like Sylvester Stalone that much

The genuine is manual or automatic?

It is probably the standard C class movement because the watch containing it costs 169$

Jaymoi I really like your spirit.. you always search and search and search for stuff...

Do you think they can add a date in the future? This is one of the few non-Panerai watches i would get...

Glad everything seems to work out...

Today I am wearing this combo:

I took some photos of the 003B with some of the straps I have... The following are the most suited for it (after the MP4): SERGIO TACHINI tan strap: STRAPMASTERS BLACK/GREY SHARK: CALVIN KLEIN BLACK with white stitching: PRADA strap: and the special engraved Veni buckle

i like it

Yes.. Jimmyfu cg, homers crown, special numbered caseback with correct numbers, NO ARcoated saphire glass, and of course SWISS ETA Unitas inside keeping COSC time.. Waterproofed by repaustria...

Beautiful watch David.. an excellent choice indeed

Well this is the reason i don't want to say many things about it... Panerai is very strict with third party people selling parts. The exact opposite of Rolex and other brands And this is the reason the are VERY expensive... 300 euros dials, 150 euros hands etc etc... but this is economy: Low(to rare) supply, high demand and prices go over the roof..... I hope the guy who sold them to me, won't see this post About the Franken Pams.. PAMman had some genuine parts before me, but i managed to build the 003 first. As far as I know only the two of us have genuine Panerai parts to build franken. And wait to see HIS special project and my second one

Nahhhh..it's ok... Genuine parts then beautifully put together by Oliver aka repaustria... I hope you haven't touched the tritium

Thank you all for your kind words... Member friends know about this watch.. In public I can't say many things about it for many reasons... I really like the tritium hands and indexes... They are definately different than the luminous stuff... The seconds hand has a bit more patina than the hands but i guess they all will be a nice yellowish colour after some time. More photos with different straps will follow the next days

I managed today to take some pictures of my new aquisition.. Enjoy. (Strap is a MP4)

Back from home and I am wearing this beauty My new 003B.. Tritium is really really nice

Beautiful photos my friend... and of course a very nice watch indeed

bump for those who missed it...

Peeee??? You haven't seen anything.. More videos are created here in Greece with the hmmm hmmm well-fed guys

Stroke was complaining why I put only the Green goblin in the tutorial so this is her video as well... She cannot understand that with a name like that (Stroke) it is impossible to start a career in Cat-Hollywood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4lp1-SBzCQ

Good price.. but definately inferior quality compared to the old one... but on the other hand you could have bought maybe a great condition old one used for that money
