mike00 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 First of all... gotta say thanx to Andrew (www.yourtrustytime.com) I buy from him since the very fresh start and he never ever let me down. Always rocket fast replies and a true man of his word. Perfect QC and the movement is spot on accurate. Not one dealer gives me this smooth communication and this is what we want. After paying some serious cash we want some confirming replies and the feeling it wil be the quality which we may expect. Link to watch: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=PN088&x=0&y=0 I am no PAM guy but the 088 and the 029 obsessed me since the beginning collecting watches. I truly find these 2 versions the most beautifull PAM's outhere but he... that is just my opinion. I must say this is very very close to GEN. The AR is amazing and indeed exact as per GEN as subscribed. This was one of the dealbreakers in the past. The other issue as usual the subdial... to grey to dark etc etc. I think it mostly depend of the lightening surround you. IMO it looks good. I choose the handmade calf leather strap. No regrets at all. The strap is made perfect and I will keep this monted for sure. The whole polished case looks and feels like GEN. The crownguard is well made and I am no expert but it seems perfect. The lume rocks on my piece!! Believe me, when wearing this it really really feels like wearing the GEN. On to the pics shall we...

maxman Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 This Is on my must have list...If I wouldnt have known...I would have thought It a gen. Congratuations. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraExtra Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Wow that looks impressive. The strap is thick! Not like the previous straps. One question, i noticed, more so on the last pic...should the mag cyclops have AR or not? It looks like it does not in contrast to the surrounding crystal.

mike00 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 This is for the freaks aka PAMheads. I have compared it with the GEN offered in the sales section and I think it's perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Good mate for sure... but perfect ?! Its a great out the box rep but I was hoping the subdial would be better and CP etc but I am just anal Plus I have the gen so its more obvious to me I guess Great pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike00 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 It is never good enough, because it is a REP. Neverless.... In real life, i doubt if you will see the difference. Saw several gens but hell it's scary close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw several gens but hell it's scary close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Indeed It is scary close. Im very impressed how far the rep straps have come. It wasnt to long ago when the rep straps went straight into the garbage bin. The rep strap on yours looks very nice. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poretl Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Great pictures and definitely a great watch, mike00! From all the watches you bought from Trusty so far would you say this is the best quality and closest to the real thing so far? Also is there any wobble when you extend the crown holder?

mike00 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Best rep... Difficult question . I do collect only reps which are very close to gen. I think this in defenitely in my top 3! About the wobble... I guess it wobbles a little, nothing to worry about IMO.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thanks, that's why I asked. So I suppose you have many reps. Which one is your favorite with regards to how close you think it is to the gen?
