MAHLER Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 My twenty-seventh reps and my third Panerai is on my wrist. The service offered by Joshua was impeccable, as always. Each word can not describe the quality of this rep, in person is absolutely beautiful so I leave you browse my pics. Thanks again to the forum and to Joshua for his outstanding service!

Wolf Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 The 380 seems to be the best out of the box rep yet to date...no CG problems because there is no CG! Wear it well!

OceanView Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Very nice, how do you like the strap? Looks decent in the photos but quality needs to be felt and worn.
MAHLER Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Posted April 18, 2012 Very nice, how do you like the strap? Looks decent in the photos but quality needs to be felt and worn. Rep strap (after two hours of immersion in nivea cleansing milk...) is decent and soft... but I'm waiting for this beauty (with size of 135/85 for my wrist) : Uploaded with ImageShack.us
spooky driver Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 what's you next 3....just to make it to 30
pizzanooo Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 Great pictures of it, placed a order yesterday for one. Even my grouchy old dealer likes this one. I know the 210 & 183 are due out sometime soon but the closed caseback seals the deal for me. Pizz

Mills Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 Great combo. Where did you get the strap, it's excellent. I've just ordered the 380 as well and aim to put a somber black strap on it but you might have just changed my mind.

KingEdward Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) a stunning rep complemented by the superb macro shots ? Edited May 3, 2012 by KingEdward
chad Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 Change straps any more than one, and the screws will fall out of the back without loctite I have gone through two of them now. Tell us more about the strap treatment.
Inertiadrifter Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 390!! 360!!! And now... 380!! This hobby is killing me!!! Another on my "to get" lust... I mean list.
MAHLER Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Posted May 5, 2012 I asked a strap for the 380 with a light color. So Jose did this for me. I can not say more than I like this strap and this color: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us
MJC Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 AMAZING piece and straps... I want this piece badly, just worried about the screw/lug bar issues and heard about the crowns falling out
MAHLER Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Posted May 6, 2012 @MJC where did you hear that the crown falls? The problem of the length of the tube appears to be inconsistent, on RG is a debate around a gen with long tube (see the discussion here: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=174956 ) For the screw/lug this is the solution: 1) anaerobic threadlocker from Bostik (which I prefer) or from Loctite 2) set from http://www.panatime....tforrawaba.html or http://www.watchobse...-Screw-Tube-Set
MJC Posted May 7, 2012 Report Posted May 7, 2012 Cool info thanks.. As for the crown issue, i've read of 2 cases on this forum!
Mills Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 My new 380 is hopefully waiting for me at my office tomorrow. Hope it's as good as your because that is a beautiful piece. Purchased from Andrew and it only took 7 days from China to the UK which is bloody quick.
TheBattler Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 I thought this was a navy blue strap for a second! Looks great I might have to get this combo for myself, or mount it on a green canvas strap to match the lime colored numerals. Nice strap options we get with the 27mm lugs on the Rads. For makers its a pretty untapped market in comparison with the 24mm straps. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
