dzelzcels Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hello all the wise men and women! First of all I want to say hi and that I'm very excited as I'm about to get my first rep panerai.This forum is awesome source of info! However I have couple of things I want to ask you to help with. I want to get a good quality pam104 or pam111. For now I'm looking for a nice watch I could wear at least for couple of years. Now my questions: 1) who is the best seller to get it from, 2) what is the best(reliable) movement for those models 3) what are the things I need to look out before buying the watch? I will really appreciate your comments and suggestions. Thanks, Aldis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobyPanFan Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Best 104 you can get without doing it all yourself... http://repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=112816 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzelzcels Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks, NoobyPanFan! That watch looks exactly what I'm after! Who sells it, harley07 or someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobyPanFan Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Ooops.. Sorry Bro! It is an Ultimate further modded by Vac. He will be the end seller. Known as Vac, Vaclume and Vaccum. He is a member/modder here and on the Geek! In my opinion this will be tough to beat, but will not come cheaply. You can email him as he dislikes the PM's. I think it shows the email in his area's.

You're the man! I'll give him a shout and will see what he can offer. So what's the estimated price? How about a regular ultimate? Is it any good? For now I'm just looking a nice reliable watch. It doesn't have to be perfect. Appreciate your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobyPanFan Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Not sure on price as I am a handwind dude... I think an Ultimate from the Cartel or Sead is about $450. But the dial needs to be relumed and the crown replaced. Work done on the CG and so on... From Vac it will depend on movement. Asian vs. Swiss. I can tell you from my last 2 years of rep experiences and having gone though at least 100 of them that unless you can confidently do all the modding yourself it is worth it to put the money into a nice one!!!!!!! Otherwise you will get a half a$$ed Rep and immediately jump to a decent Rep and sell it quickly for a highly modded Rep. In the long run you will save time and money spending a bit extra up front. Anyway you go about it, you know it's going to be a FUN ride! Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
