PeteM Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I guess for me I might wear that in the evening but I really dont like any gloss croc or gloss strap full stop... But mate its what you like... wear it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbiesrock Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I like it! I'm with Pete, full gloss is a bit much but you're GreekGod, so kudos my Aussie bro But why not complete the picture and install a base-finish Unitas 6497 slow-beat for $50. Then you can have a Gen 318 just like the boys on Paneristi!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekgod Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks Pete its just that I work in a very formal Hotel environment dressed in a suit all the time so its goes with it ....subbiesrock lol thanks for the comments mate.... mate I have been a bit quite on here for a little while and getting back into it now so I do want to install a new Unitas 6497..will make the watch a bit quieter as well, but not sure if its available in Sydney anywhere plus a watch-smith who would work on reps too??

StormTooper4 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I know you've been looking for that for a while and I reckon it looks well smart. You need a better buckle though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wat44 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 There is supposed to be a watchmaker in the eastern suburbs who works on reps... I've been trying to get the details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekgod Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I know you've been looking for that for a while and I reckon it looks well smart. You need a better buckle though . Ah I see you remember that .... sharp memory ... well I was just browsing around today and decided to buy it and it cost me $65. I just couldnt wait for 6 weeks for a strap from the top strap makers on the forum. Also the interesting thing is at the building right next to where i got the strap has the official panerai dealership its Richemont Australia so I decided to go there and check out the original glossy gator. Its $440 and thte deployment buckle was $550..So keeping those figues in mind I just decided to buy the strap and dint care to omuch about the buckle.. When I got home I changed the strap and I could managed to fit the buckle too but the buckle tongue was to think for the holes in the strap and I decided to put the new buckle back !!
