sgtguk Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Not a Pam expert but looks great and nice strap too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Looks great. Love this watch. I've heard Mary is very good but might be worthwhile to asked for a shot or two with the chrono reset. Just to see if everything is aligned nicely. Otherwise, enjoy!

Likewise i heard mary was really reliable and trustworthy so i gave her a try (: She was really nice, she even shot me 2 videos on how the chronograph functions etc.. but the watch is on the way to my place. Ill be sure to make a review as soon as i get it! Not a Pam expert but looks great and nice strap too Thanks! haha im not a watch expert at all im new to the hobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabler Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Looks ok, almost perfect. Maybe it would have been a good idea to have some closer pics, but I see is too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Looks ok, almost perfect. Maybe it would have been a good idea to have some closer pics, but I see is too late. could you please educate me where it is not perfect? Like i said, new to the scene, would be nice to pick up a few things from the more experienced Edited January 24, 2012 by RobT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabler Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Need to see bigger pics to say it´s perfect, looks really, really good, BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pynchon Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 An expert could chime in, but seeing as pam makes their own movements, the see thru caseback is likely the biggest tell - of course on your wrist noone will see it. I just compared to some gen photos - there are a few differences in the movement, but still a good job overall and 99.99% of people will not know what the gen regatta movement looks like.

plaifender Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 An expert could chime in, but seeing as pam makes their own movements, the see thru caseback is likely the biggest tell - of course on your wrist noone will see it. I just compared to some gen photos - there are a few differences in the movement, but still a good job overall and 99.99% of people will not know what the gen regatta movement looks like. The movement in the 286/213 and 253/212 (for that matter) are not completely panerai's "own" movements. Unlike some of the more impressive power reserve models etc that panerai makes the OPXVIII series is still based on a Valjoux 7750 movement with a few extra parts for the flyback or rattrapante function. Nothing particularly special though. But yes.. the movement is a give away if you're familiar with panerai and its 7750 variants. More than anything the fit and finish of the movement is probably the biggest tell, but not even then is it that much of a tell unles you've got someone looking VERY closely at your watch. Let's not forget that most of our movements are not much larger than the diameter of a quarter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prospex44 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 This one looks great. The strap seems a perfect match too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikellem Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't know what you guys expect from a QC Pics, but this is as good as it gets... Don't pick it apart! Remember, these are reps and they are not perfect.. Watch looks great, ship it! MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
