Whatever123 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hi! I bought a very nice PAM111 rep some time ago. It does not have a sandwich dial and therefore I think it is supposed to be an F-series model. Unfortunately is has one flaw - on the caseback (glass bottom) it says model "H0035/2000" - this seems to be a standard rep H-series caseback... Does anyone have an idea where I can get a correct F-series (sapphire) caseback? I really want to make this one perfect... Thanks, Whatever123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 You can try Hont (RWI/RWG1.1). There are also a couple of dealers that sell the 111F with the right back, I'll see if I can locate which ones then update this post with their url.

Whatever123 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi! Thanks! If you do know a dealer that sells F-series 111 with correct casebacks, please get back to me. Cheers Whatever123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweattdogg Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 It maybe harder than you think. A Gen F series 111 has different PANERAI Font than most rep casebacks. If you do a search on my posts I took a picture of my case about a year ago as a reference. It was December 19th, 2008. On another note, if you have the larger brushed crownguard then your caseback should be for a G series. Either way I would not worry about the correctness of your caseback if you have anything but a gen movement. If you were to give your watch to a risti, there will most likely be other things that they would notice before the serial number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why people keep saying not to worry about the correctness of the back, unless you've got a gen movement. The reason most people want the correct back, is for themselves, just to get their rep as close as they can to a gen. The chances of you running into someone who knows what a gen movement is even supposed to look like, let alone the back, are extremely slim (next to none) - unless you run in certain circles in lower Cali.

Yep, that's it- I wouldn't worry much about the font on the caseback - but the serial number is an obvious flaw that i see every time I put the watch on... so it nags me...

I guess I didn't think about that. I'll change my reply. If you want a correct series caseback for yourself, because the incorrect case bothers you then go for it. Hopefully the pictures of my gen caseback help you in your seach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Has anyone checked with DSN ?? he's pretty good with case backs and parts.. he takes awhile to reply though AC/L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesd Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Angus over at puretimewatch has an "ultimate" 111F: You might be able to buy just teh caseback. http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=1103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever123 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I already asked Angus - he only sells the complete watch. And I'm afraid the member I bought the caseback from does not have a source - he simply had a spare caseback. I believe it's exacly the one on the puretime pic above.

Drulee Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Has anyone checked with DSN ?? he's pretty good with case backs and parts.. he takes awhile to reply though AC/L DSN only has "G" and some "E" series display backs, no "F" series. Angus over at puretimewatch has an "ultimate" 111F: You might be able to buy just teh caseback. Nope, he only occasionally sells parts to members who have been buying from him for a while, I haven't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_1 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) Hey Guys, I do have an F-Series caseback from an 005 (0018/1200) i purchased a couple of months ago from a member here. Not sure what the production number of the 111 is though. It might be inaccurate in that respects. However, it is going under a big facelift at the moment and i won't have the original parts shipped back to me for a few weeks. If you are happy to wait? Then you can take it off me by all means!

Danny_1 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Sorry i just realised it was a clear caseback (stupid). Take back what i said! Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
