mariotakeyama Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I just received my new pam 187G today from Andrew, your Trusty Time. I also got pam 029 noob another day from him too. Andrew is always very responsive and amazing service. I am very happy with product and most of all, his great service. Thank you Andrew, I highly recommend his site! MT
poretl Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Guys, why are you doing this to us? Why are you even saying anything without showing us pictures. You know we need pictures and you also know very well that if you don't have a camera you need one. Need be, return one of the 2 watches back to Andy and get a camera.
seeaye Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 yeah. else this should go in his review section, not here..
pizzanooo Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Mariotakeyama is just letting us know he got a couple of new watches in he`s proud of, and one of you wants him to return one to buy a camera to take pics and the other says yeah. Come on man, he`s letting us know he`s happy with a few new pieces. Of course pics are nice, do so when you can for all to see. Congrats on the new pieces! 1
poretl Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 yeah. else this should go in his review section, not here.. this does not even qualify for the review section. Why would we believe him here or in the review section? We need proof aka pictures.
mikellem Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 this does not even qualify for the review section. Why would we believe him here or in the review section? We need proof aka pictures. Hey poreti, Cool it and take a chill pill...When is ready and capable of taking pics he will.. We don't you bashing him! Maybe you should go help him take the pics? Be nice my friend.. Just like Pizzanoo... Thank You poreti.

I'm sorry but I'm quite fed up with you. You add nothing to these threads and you always find a very rude way to treat everybody. Why don't you take a hint and leave? @mariotakeyama Congrats on your purchases. The 29 and the 187 are very good reps. Enjoy them.
mariotakeyama Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 Thank you for kind comment @tx collector. sorry I did not have camera with me now. BTW i am phoragrapher:) I will take some good pic tomorrow. I will post some. Sorry I am very new to this forum. More then i am proud of, I just want to leave good word for Andrew. Your kind understanding will be appreciated.
txcollector Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Looking forward to see your pics. I have both and I love them (although I'm finding the 187 a tad heavy). Welcome to RWG. I hope you like here.

I'm just curious to know the results when you have them.
pizzanooo Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Always looking forward to pics of actual watches received from the dealers. Those bad ass`es still can`t seem to take a decent photo of a non-moving object if their life depended on it. Morons...

Morons... maybe there's a reason they 'cannot' take decent pictures...but then again the pictures from people here show some good watches
mariotakeyama Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 I just took some quick picture. I was planning to take some pics better tomorrow. but it seems speed is key. So here we go! MT 1
seeaye Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Sexy love the 029. You should get a brown strap too, they look awesome with it.. (I like the black better tho)
StormTooper4 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Most Excellent pair . That 187 looks fantastic & that last picture is great. Wear them well
mariotakeyama Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 Thank you all. I also have mustard color croco strap. I like it, but my wife like black better:) MT
poretl Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I like your 187 a lot. Did it come waterproof tested and how do you like the quality of the rubber strap? Edited January 11, 2012 by poretl
mariotakeyama Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 supposed to be up to 3-5 ATM (30m-50m). But dry test only. I will not take a risk at this point. Rubber strap is ok and buckle seems good. however, OP logo seems a little bit not clear. please see attached pic. (shot by my iphone so not clear but...) MT
poretl Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 this 187 watch is fr ing awesome! The strap doesn't collect dust or anything, does it? There are some very nasty rubber straps out there. Like if you get a bath tissue and rub it against it does it leave anything behind? As far as waterproof, what's the difference between dry test and test in the water. I mean they are 2 totally diffent things but isn't dry test performed to see it the watch can be put in the water? I thought this is how manufacturers test their watches before they sell them as waterproof. No? Unless there is the gen way of dry testing (which means something) and the testing in the rep world which means nothing.
mariotakeyama Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 It seems no collecting dust at all. I heard that rep manufacturer was waterproofing with basic dry test machine, and we asked and paid for it, they have more intentive vacuum test or something. As I saw Panerai Factory Video, Gen is doing dry method and intensive wet test to ensure 300mm - 1000m proof. I am not professional or expert but this is what I know. MT
poretl Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I'm wondering if all manufactures are doing a wet test. But that's a good point. The fact that PAnerai are doing it, after a watch has successfully passed the dry test, it means that there is still a possibility that when put in the water it will not be as waterproof as the dry test suggests. So you are right to have your reservations to throw it in the water even if they told you it's waterproof. At least not yet. Maybe you should enjoy it for a week or so before you get waters involved. This way, if it gets drowned you'll say "well, it's not waterproof after all but at least I thought it was waterproof for a week". Edited January 11, 2012 by poretl
txcollector Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 the case construction on those are very good. It's hard to find a place to test 10 ATM but 5 ATM is feasible. You don't need much more than that even for 100 ft dives (which are deep).
greekgod Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 SO guys I have 6.5" wrists and have fallen in love with 187 and 234 I like the nice little circular pearls and steel lining on 243 and like the busy dial of 187 !!!
