  1. Hi there everyone - a friend of mine (who lives in Australia) is in need of assistance ... His rep Panerai (from Josh) has stopped working and requires a service; can you please point me in the right direction of someone who can help him, down under(!). Cheers gents, all the best - Richard
  2. So, When I first started here, like everyone else, I was on a mission for the best Sub haha. I ended up getting the TC Sub v6 and I am super happy. Now, I am researching the best PAM and I am hearing it is Marlin's Mods on the Noob N V3. That is great, and that is what I am learning toward doing...But which is Reallllllyy better, The Noob N v3? or the H Factory Best sold by Andew http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=9396&zenid=1ee303b4375d886541dab3854ce523b9 . What are your thoughts? From pictures I have looked at both the Noob and the H factory best at that link and can not for certain say who is better. It seems the L Swiss Made L may be more proper on the H factory best? What do you all think? Which is the best PAM 111 ? The Noob N V3 or the H Factory best at the link above. Which is most Gen?
  3. Hello All, Can anyone recommend the most accurate PAM 111? From size, weight, shape, details, and glow. From my reading I hear a lot about Marlin, so I sent a message. If anyone could advise that would be great. Thanks in advance for all the help.
  4. Driving back home...

  9. So i finaly recieved my PAM 005 and my 390 from Toro. I hooked up the handmade straps i had waiting for them and went nuts with the camera! I'm also working on 2 wallpapers from this shoot for computer that i will post later in the Panerai part of the forum as soon as the editing is done So what do you think?
  10. Hi Guys- I recently purchased a PAM 504 kervarsit rep from someone on this forum and the crown has already fallen out! I know KW's is a TD and a good watch to buy, but I have very little mechanical knowledge of watches and am new to the forum along with buying this type of watch in general. Below are pictures of the watch and crown. All I am looking for is if anyone knows how to fix this issue or can explain to a noob what happened! Thanks
  11. Okay, so I stumbled upon two amazing 24mm straps at a reasonable price in a weak moment (at 5 am) so i went for it. The only "issue" is that i don't really have any watches to put them on yet. I have an Arktos thats out on repair but that one already have a donerix strap waiting for it once it gets home again. I'm considering a PAM 390 Noob but i am completly lost what to more to get. I really like the manual movements so i guess I'm "stuck" with Base and Marina 44mm. Any suggestions for a second watch that would fit with the type of strap i orderd is widely appriciated!
  12. I collected these long hours but now they are together
  13. Just in, this very nice Panerai 351M from Kuvarsit. (Great dealer) This watch is made with great craftmanship, and is my first rep that I don't have to regulate Mayby a review to follow ....
  14. Thx to Repwatch´s extraordinary post of his unique wonderful piece I started to admire this watch and got really into this but could neither afford the gen nor build a Franken. First I looked at the Marina Militare but than destiny struck and I found a solution, so after many sleepless nights and one month visiting the above post I happily present to You, in the most unconventional way, serious Purists beware (I love and I am into vintage, no seriousness intended here, this is a hommage), an addition to my fast-growing collection: the famous PAM203 (2005), originally with vintage Angelus movement, only available to some 150 selected few. Just look how the golden hands, specially the small second hand reflect the sun on the glass from the inside:) This 47 mm stainless steel case with a sandwich chocolate/grey dial is historically correct and simply magnificent! The gold hands, sub second hand and logo's " Luminor Panerai" and "8 Giorni Brevattato" 8 giorni means 8 days and brevettato means patented, referring to the original sixty year old and large sized, handwound Angelus SF calibre 240, 8 days power reserve, give this watch character that no other watch has... or ever will have again. Here is the famous and still ultra-secret Panerai-secret: “how to make modern USD out of old italian lire trick”: (Research from Dadog13: Mr. Ferretti sold them to Panerai in the 1996 - 190 pieces // each priced 110.000 lire italiane (about 60 usd each in 1996) http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/99316-nos-angelus-sf240-pam203pam267/ link with sublink). Et voilà: Today possibly worth 110.000 Usd. The patented device protecting and locking the crown tops this watch off. CG lever points upwards. Both versions were made, with downpointing CG also. Of course it has Reg. Tm. engraved in the crown guard. Dial: brown, with luminous hour markers and Arabic numerals. It consists of two superimposed discs: the top one is perforated with the numerals and hour markers while the lower one was covered with a thin layer of Super Luminova Small seconds at 9 o'clock on the left and the legendary 8 Giorni Brevettato symbol painted in white near the 3´position complete the balance. DIMENSIONS: 47mm x 13.5mm WEIGHT: 126 grams Vintage Mods (here is where the fun part really starts): Crystal: removed the original sapphire, made from corundum, 2 mm thick. Anti-reflective coating. Replaced with Plexiglas. the Plexy gives a superb look, very warm, to the whole watch, and especially the dial. The gold dials reflect on it. Tried to catch the fantastic domed shape and the reflecting edges of the huge Plexiglas in sunlight. Also close look onto the sandwich dial of this Vintage Panerai in the pics. The “Open Six” carries the DNA of the brand from the 1930s until today. Crown-lock: applied some vintage rust, than applied the gluegun trick to make it feel more hefty and solid; tried to replace the crown with a vintage Rolex seadweller crown but it did not fit with the CG-mechanism so had to remove it again. Rolex actually made all vintage Panerai watches, from 1936 through 1956 (Jake Ehrlich). Movement: first removed the vintage 8 days Angelus SF 240 movement (cost of just 60 USD back in the nineties) because it had only 15 rubis and was very lowbeat at only 18.000 bhp; the Angelus powered divers where used by Panerai in the 50´s and 60´s but I wanted to go more to the Rolex-made Style of the 30´s and 40´s. So because of the Rolex connection I replaced it with a more gen-like Rolex Cal. 618 / Type 1 with some dust in it. Both where antique and HANDWOUND, so finally decided to put a more modern automatic movement in: MOVEMENT: Asian 21j automatic, keeps perfect time now! Greatest power reserve I have in a 21j also! Just don´t look at it. Solid case back: After changing the movement couldn´t stand the looks of the 21j, so the see-through sapphire glass had to go and was replaced with a nice, solid SS caseback (not yet engraved with a pig-torpedo and “Kampfschwimmer” – lettering and dating of probably 1944 which I will do with a Dremel, but already well-brushed with steel wool) Water resistance: after modding: tested to 0,00 metres (originally 100 metres); waterproofing to at least 200 ATM intended Lume: the original Superluminova applied to the sandwich dial looked too bright for the look of a 73 year old watch. Different to the “Luminor” substance used in later produced watches and instruments, “Radiomir” , patented 1915 by Guido Panerai (he did not know then it was a million more times radioative than uranium and that it has a half-life of 1602 years, neither did Marie Curie) does not react instantly under the impact of light anymore in 2013, here is a vintage sample of a "Kampfschwimmer" - combat diver: oh, this didn´t work.... so the Superluminova was scratched off this pam PAM 203 to give it a more vintage look. Once the human eye has been in total darkness for a couple of hours, the remaining glow of the simulated “Radiomir” substance now becomes visible. Strap: Ordered an original vintage 8 Giorni Brevettato symbol, authentic hand made WWII Ammo strap made from 65 year old army leather pouches and José Maria over in Spain promised it would be ready for me this week, making this package complete and spectacular! Time is what prevents everything from happening at once . ~ John Archibald Wheeler Thx to Torobravos this time: Got this original “as is” in a perfect service from him, it’s a fun watch more than expected and got that nice strap on it until the vintage arrives: Enjoy the pics! Finally some lume-shots as requested of my hefty PAM 193 Tuna-Can (on the left) also Hope You had as much fun reading as I had writing for the Forum. A big thanks to You all and RWG and what I´ve learned just browsing around here. Any addition and comment Welcome:)

  17. My little collection. Do not judge strictly...
  18. This is a Homage 2533 I've spent quite a while building, the latest re-do was the hands as they started to rust badly. I've been looking a box to present the watch in for ages, I've found a few options in the past but nothing that really did it for me. Then I stumbled on this in a local craft shop and I think it will do the job LOT'S OF PICS..................... River 3646 case set. shaped and softened, crown tube and wire lugs soldered by me. Crown and movement ring aged Binbin hands, sized, blued (many times), and lumed by me (cornholio lume) Cort 616 (NW engraved) cousins plexi front and back. Amazing Daytona dial, painted, resin filled and lumed by me. Strap made from old postal bag by me and fitted with an Elias knife edge brass buckle. Box....aged by me
  19. Hey all I ordered a PAM 441 from Perfect Clones recently and its on backorder. Depending on which site you look at, the strap is either very light or very dark. Its supposedly an Asso strap but from what I can tell theres a ton of variation out there. Should it be dark brown and weathered looking?
  20. I am looking to acquire an automatic GMT, with stainless bracelet. I'm interested in the "scalability" of the piece as much as the aesthetics. Meaning, I want to get something that looks and works great right "out of the box" (I like the Planet Ocean GMT, and the PAM North Pole especially), functions accurately AND is compatible with the maximum of GEN parts for hybridizing. For instance, the Omega that seems to accept (with some retooling) a GEN HEV, crown/stem, dial/hands. I am especially fond of the "tool diver" look. I'd appreciate any and all feedback on this topic.
  21. Hello too all, I just posted this on RepGeek, thought it would help to post here too I have recently acquired more reps then I expected and recently lost connections with my watchmaker. I am looking to see if anyone can refer me a watch-maker they know in New York, preferably in Long Island. I alive in Long Island, New York. I need a trusted watchmaker that will take a replica watch task and complete it without hesitation. Some other people i have contacted recently told me that they don't want have any business with replicas. Anyway, I am looking to do some modding to a Panerai Luminor that is coming in soon, as well as some Lume work on a Ulysse Nardin Hammer-Head watch & Rolex Explorer II that I have. All submissions are appreciated. THANKS - PayHomage - RWG Addict
  22. Ive been a part of this forum for a while now, and it seems like the vast majority of members here are Panerai fans and own some model of PAM or another. But for some reason, apart from a full black Radiomir I saw one day, Panerai has never caught my eye or made me want to own one!! Now I know I will probably be alone here, but I dont want to continue feeling so lonely in my indifference towards Pams. Please, someone... tell me Im not the only one. Or someone else, please tell me what exactly it was that made you a Panerai person. Maybe I can be converted.
