Got lucky with mine so far. Keeps perfect time and no problems but as Miles shows there have been many issues. it is a very low end asian movement and The Zigmeister, Rex and Vac will likely be servicing and attempting to repair alot of these. My advice is to attempt to contact one of our modders and schedule a service and repair. Not sure how to contact Zig but this is his playground and I am sure one of our brothers can steer you in the right direction Many of us have already attempted to make plans to source a better movement replacement

Pete send me that Burgundy croc when you get sick of it! I just ordered the Paci Pav 91 for my gen 240-296 (gonna give the bracelet a rest) I love the color of Chianti and blood on my pams!

Beauty Rolli! Handsome watch

Hmmm I have pms into LH as well If we could say, get the same sterile base movement LH uses, then swap out the plates, you think we'd have a champion?

Looks great my brother but a dark jungle appears to have ensnared it!! Your Crown to case spacing looks better than a couple other's I have seen including Sammy's before he made his perfect on his own Now we need movements. Thought I had a bead on one per your recommendation but he never got back to me after I responded to his email

298/500

Who wants to sell me an OEM movement? As it turns out "My Source" may be a bit dry right now So who wants to sell me an OEM movement (preferably wi subseconds module) Don't particularly care which series it pertains to But E-G or H and up would be nice Help a brother out!!! I know there are hoarders here lol "cough cough,.. Robert, cough cough Warren,..cough cough cough" Thanks Brothers!

You goofy noobs!! Let me handle this one boys as someone who had owned the gen and only recently sold it (for Bomba!) 1. Major flaw is with all open caseback pams, the movement. The finishing on the plates, the font thickness of the Office Panerai and the regulator (Noobish-the little thingie that looks like a knife to the left of the brass wheelie thingie) 2. LH never made a 177 but his 111 had far more flaws than this including but not limited to the following (besides being over a $1000.00 for a pile of Chinese sweatshop made parts) a. Incorrect crappy, thick, blueish Rep AR - Most all LH owners would have thhis removed and or recoated which cost additional money b. Incorrect color Luminor Panerai font on the dial - LH's original dial featured a crisp white font which was too white and incorrect, his later dials featured a butter tan colored font which was also WRONG WRONG WRONG!! Those spending hundereds on LH dials guess what? You [censored] away money!! Congrats c. Dial paint would often flake and peel in the case. I know Rex saw a number of them with this problem which meant crappy painti and or crapping application of the dial paint d. pretty crappy lume. His original dials had a very thinly applied SuperLume (or so he claimed) most everyone had these dials relumed. I believe he has used correct superlume for the past year or so e. Great GREAT GREAT!! Movement but tremendously unreliable. LH movvement's are thus far the closest made manual made rep pam movements. Excellent plates and especially excellent engraving on the original movements he made (He has eleminated the movement plate engraving and now uses aplied decals which is quite lame and cheap) Movements were wildly unreliable, some were great, some [censored] poor f. paper thin casebacks. H. very nice cases that were better served as PRE-V cases Know how I know all this? I was a dummy who [censored] $800 away on a LH movement and dial powered watch. Mine had the original terrific engraved movement. NOW: I have sat back and heard alot of poop back and forth from alot of self appointed experts on this watch and had a good laugh. Now I know some of these guys have actually owned gens like Wolf so he can say whatever the hell he wants, prob has a better eye for things than me. But there are a numer of the self appointed experts whom I'd wager have never even seen the gen in person and base their decries on Macro pics from Risti. You guys have my thanks for a good laugh!! This watch (aside from the movement) is far more accurate than any LH. The dial is superior, the caseshape appears superior, The crown, crownguard all superior to a LH and less than a third of the price From my own observations as someone who owns 4 gen pams and has recently owned a Gen 177H my bone to pick with this watch is the crown being too close to the case.This means the tube does not stick out far enough from the case or the crown is slightly fatter and thus covers more of the visible Crown tube and appears closer to the case. In either case it is a tough fix without swapping out the crown and crownguard. The movement doesn't bug me because the Plates (which have pretty nice finishing) can be removed and put on a better (hopefully swiss) movement or if my sources come through I plan to add a Gen movement So that's my two cents. Hope I helped the noobs. love them so much the little darlings!! I am excited for this watch. With in my eyes only one noticable flaw (aside from the movement) Hope you enjoy it for those who ordered like me!

Still love my new (well not new) Gen G series Bomba a week later as much as the day I first got it! Much more on my second favorite strap, a Mario Paci Querciabella in Camel. Have the same strap in 26mm on Franken Fiddy. Love the patina on the dial and it just shows how talented Vac, The Zigmeister and Flav are to be able to mimic that gen aged patina with their trememdous luming abilities The dark blue dial appears black most of the time except in bright light where it looks deep dark blue (like the dial on my gen Rollie TT Subby) Proj has already told me my bezel lunetes are turned in the wrong direction but the case condition is so perfect right now I will wait until it needs refinishing to have it addressed. On the OEM rubber (sorry guys I hate rubber straps)

perfect as always

If it uses the daylight crown it should be pretty good Most of the best rep springloaded crowns have had far too much spring built into them compared to gens. While it may be cool to see them bounce open when you flick the lever, it's not how the gen works The daylight opens with just a tough of pushback , just like gens

Mine is supposed to be here today!

LOL More pete hijinx! My boy always cracks me up

Holy crap Now I want a 251 as well Hope Vac has a lumed one in stock

LOL I pay enough in every paycheck to support he service unions, welfare sponges and all the other abusers and remoras that have destroyed this state's economy This state is F-ed up!

Bought this baby a couple months back from my AD in Chicago whom I still use for my Rolex purchases. No taxes and good customer deal versus California Socialist tax rates wins every time brothers! This is the second sub currently in my collection (I also own a gen TT Blue) and the third steel sub I have owned. At one time I had a Z series LV as well as a Z series black date sub This baby joins my gen TT blue and my Gen TT Ceramic GMT to round out my current gen Rollies Still miss my Gen Yachtie which I sold earlier this year and I may have to pick up another for my X-Mas present The dial is amazing on this baby. Much like the TT Blue dial, photos do not do it justice as it changes color in diff lighting and never appears to be the same color twice. In low light it looks black and in bright light it turns into the Hulk. Very very cool. Even the big photo on Wtachtime a few months back was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off. If you live near an AD and you have not seen this watch in person go see it (That is if he has one, chances are he will not) The clasp is a work of art. Best Clasp on any watch I have ever owned hands down The Green with envy sub

Well Truth be told I've already had problems with the chronograph It would run and die and then not reset Seems to be working ok now but there is definately a problem. Maybe with the power reserve, who knows

LOL Wearing mine right now relumed by Vac The original rep lume wasn't too bad really but I had a lume coupon with Vac I'm more curious to see how long it takes for these movements to crap out in mass Vac and I believe Zig both said they were pretty dirty out of the box

Wow Hope the one you are making for me looks so good!

Thank You Rob Interesting on a side note that the Crown clearly appears to be sprinloaded. I thought mine was but I didn't know for sure It may end up being that these superb case sets recive a number of genuine eta 7753 transplants

sigh,,, mine is sitting in the local post office cant get her till tomorrow

Looks beautiful !

$1.00

Beauts Ed Now go order the Pre-V Black Pav for my old 205A!!
