markiemark Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 OMG! I just picked up my modded 111 from Marlin at the post office! I simply love it. Usually when a watch comes in I just like it a lot and I will end up selling it after a couple months. But this baby is a definite keeper! After coming home I took off the rep strap and put on a gen strap. That turned it into a even more beauty! I think I feel comfortable wearing this in front of gen owners or in any AD. Ofcourse I will not wear it in an AD, Im just trying to explain how happy I am with her good looks. I was too excited so I only took a quick wristie in the back-yard in front of my plants as I just watered them wearing my beloved one. More pics will be done this weekend! Thank you Marlin! Thank you Asian rep goddess Faki Watshi! More pics as promised: Mods done: Y-Incabloc Polished ratchet wheel bevel Polished crown wheel bevel Brushed and gold plated gear train Long micrometric screw Reshaped swan-neck ETA markings on the main plate Polished and flattened canon pinion And of course, cleaned, oiled & regulated 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 He's the best as far as I'm concerned. He really knows his stuff, she's a beauty enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Great choise. I love the 111 too! Marlin makes some great specimens Enjoy! BTW... If that strap is OEM I do not like it. Stitching seems really sloppy and the leather dull. Here it is compared to mine hand stitched strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Rolexman, It is indeed an OEM strap. At least, I hope so. It's the Gold Calf Cashmere and got it from Paneristi. I ordered an XS from an AD, and then I'll know for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys have any ideas how to contact him?? much appreciate Hi tommylynn, You are a little to new to the forum and had no posts when you PMed me. I've had a couple of PMs from brand new members with zero posts to their names, I only work with members who have an established history on the forums and have at least 20 posts under their belt. This gives the member a little time to do their homework and research before they go off and buy their first watch. I hope you understand.... For those who are interested, check out his section here: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/forumdisplay.php/marlins-watch-garage-368.html Hey M, Thanks for the PR it is greatly appreciated, enjoy your watch and wear it in good health.... BTW great pictures for a cheap compact ;-) Very Nice ! now im really looking forward to my watches from Marlin .. have a few coming from him in the next few weeks ..He has a few pics of my 3646 up here somewhere his work is unreal ! makes it hard for me to spend 6k on a gen anymore lol ..

Im quite new here, I know, I am a member also in RWI and I have already purchased PAM390 from Toro as my first rep. This got me PAM disease and now Im learning about PAM by reading all forum posts every day whenever Im free period . And now I have decided PAM111 is what I would purchase next. As Panerai will stop making these, this make me want more of this PAM. So if you could give me an information, will be much appreciated. Thanks heaps again for your concerned.

Jkay Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 who is marlin? does he has a link or email? thx, btw the watch looks amazing Marlin is a member here who creates extremely work-intensive PAM replicas. Micro-machining, plating in precious metals .. etc .. etc. A true watch maker .. not just a modder. Marlin is not his full user name. I forget the rest of it.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Thanks, look closer, look at 4:47 and see if you can see the hand burn on the dial, That's what happens to a dial when the hands haven't moved in a long time.

markiemark Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have new watches occasionally, but no one seems to bother at my work. But yesterday everybody was like "WOW Mark is that a Panerai?!", "Holy sh*t! That is a nice watch!", and "Can I please try it on? Only if thats okay with you..."

altesporsche Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Ok now I'm really on edge lol I think I'm going to need my 3646 sent just to settle myself down .. That dial for my 6154 looks fantastic !! You truly are a master watchmaker and artist ! I'm blown away by the work put into my 3646 and by the looks of it my 6154 will be just as nice ! Ohh my the way I have another moly 3602 movement I can send your way if you need more parts movements. Markie it's truly an amazing watch ! I've decided it's pointless to but gens now lol I have a few gens ill keep but these watches and the detail joe puts into them is truly amazing. Actually have a gen 112 that I'm giving to my old Man as a gift and keeping my marlin built 112 when it arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Wow! I timed how long the power reserve does. It does a stunning 56 hour and 26 minutes!!! Isnt the gen supposed to have 48 hour reserve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
