If I was choosing any DLC'd watch it'd have to be a Bell&Ross Out of interest, how much is the DLC coating process costing?

For me, I prefer the original finish on the 286, rather than a DLC'd version ... although I'm sure unregistered's final version will look stunning.

for the 286. For ages I wanted a 253 but haven't regretted buying a 286. In fact, it's hardly been off my wrist since I bought it a few weeks ago. The finish on these is stunning, and the black hands are a nice touch over the shiny ones on the 253.

Davidsen offers FF reps, but not seen him post in a while.

Loving the 312. Has anyone compiled a list of known issues in the rep (vs a gen)?

Alas no. Been keeping my eye on the 'for sale' sections but nothing so far.

Pete - your BR looks like it's had some case refinishing, especially those shiny, gen-like case screws?

Ahh, finally a 312 rep http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/pam312-panerai-luminor-1950-3-days-automatic-on-black-rubber-strap/ Thoughts?

Thanks. Where could I source a similar 312?

Lovely watch. What model is the other Pam?

Having spent ages researching the 111h I finally plumped for a Sead ultimate 111h and love it. Now I'd like to add to my Panerai collection (of one!) with a Fiddy. Who sells the best rep, and what are the variations & known flaws with the various examples from the dealers? Thanks in advance.

Ahh, I knew I could rely on you Thanks for the analysis. Sounds like Mary has a very old pic on her site then - I'll be sure to let her know.
