markiemark Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 As I don't have funds to support the community, I would like to do this in an other way. How about if I would build a platform where you can search for your Panerai. The Panerai that has your requirements and all. I'm not talking about a simple search bar, no I'm talking about a website (hooked to a database) where you can filter by attribute. For example: you're looking for a Panerai that is all brushed, and it needs to have a chronograph. You select those attributes, and voila all Panerais meeting your needs will show up. Here's a list of filterable attributes I made this morning on the train: Type Luminor Radiomir Submersible Size 44mm 46mm 47mm Dial Sandwich Sausage California Case Brushed Polished Titanium PVD Bezel Brushed Polished Titanium PVD Crown(guard) Brushed Polished Titanium PVD Movement 7750 6497 ST19 28xx Other(asian) Functions (including faux) Chronograph Power reserve Date Magnified date None GMT Sub-seconds Rattrapante The point of having this is that we quickly can find the rep we want! What do you guys think? Would this be helpful? Any ideas/tips or other attributes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CokeSmurf Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 That would indeed be very helpful, and maybe it can be done with APs, Rollies and Hub? I wouldn't mind at all helping with this project, although i know nothing of programming websites... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have seen it, but see it as an online shop where you can filter a pair of jeans you're looking for: width, length, color, material etc... But then for watches I designed this (product filter for headphones) last week for a customer, so something like this: Edited May 1, 2013 by markiemark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I for one think it's a great idea but would be a lot of work wouldn't it to keep it updated? Apologies I'm not that up to speed with tech stuff would be great for Pam noobs like me searching for a specific type! That example looks easy to use too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies I'm not that up to speed with tech stuff would be great for Pam noobs like me searching for a specific type! That example looks easy to use too Keeping it up to date won't be a problem. It's not like there are 12 new pams coming out every day! I think I'll only add the newest version of every watch, it's up to the buyer to figure out wether he wants a v1 or a v3... And yes this is very easy to use! I'll start with panerai first as a test pilot (if there is enough people who are excited enough who want it. I'm not gonna spend months on something nobody wants). Then if it's a great success I'll add more brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo L Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 would be cool if the database also had links to reviews of the watch (gen and rep reviews) - if you included a breakdown of the different rep versions you could also have a classification of the grade of replica that it is (ie: low grade, high grade, super rep) -- so if someone just wants to see super-reps they can use the tool to narrow it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemark Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 thats about the right ammount of engagement -- build it and maybe they will come? Building and adding all the panerais will take at least a couple hundred hours. (Multiply that by €125, thats what Im willing to give to the community) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same frustration The Zigmeister used to have....... But a brilliant idea! I understand what you mean....spending all those hours for the consumption of a few! Only a hobbyist could do it......koz enjoyment of doing it gives them the high...and pleasure is an added bonus if it benefits just a few!

markiemark Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 One more question guys: Who's Panerais should I use for the database? All the ones listed on Puretime? Or from another TD? All TD's have all available rep panerais listed right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Problem is that dealer websites are not up to date. There are also models on there that are no longer made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Problem is that dealer websites are not up to date. There are also models on there that are no longer made. So what do you suggest? Maybe I'll make a list in Excel, publish it here and then have it reviewed, and then update it ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptTripps Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yeah, that list is updated weekly...if not daily. It's the first place I look when I'm considering what to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 UPDATE: I started renting a private server and moved my domain there. So now I have started developing as of today. This renting will cost me roughly €700 a year (12x €60). So I hope you guys like whats coming ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
