Simpsan Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 So I chose my first couple of reps after reading the forum posts. Obviously a Panerai and my second was a Bell and Ross from the sale section. I knew I wanted a Panerai but which to choose? My main criteria was that I wanted something quite understated and classic. The other criteria was to get something in a 44mm diameter so as not to look as though I was wearing my Dads watch! So after a little pondering I settled on the PAM299. I chose the Noob 'O' version from Toro. Service was great with fast feedback from Toro, the only downside was delay in shipping due to Chinese holidays, but once shipped was in my hand 3 days later. Below are a couple of Photos, excuse the poor iPhone quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beau_bands Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 That's the one I'm lusting over at the moment. I ordered the 297 from trevor. But I wanted that one. After 2 weeks, what are your thoughts? I've heard it's good to soften the edges of the bracelet with a fine file, then wash and add graphite to make the bracelet move smoother.

Simpsan Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'm really happy with it, I haven't needed to file the bracelet, all I've done is remove the bracelet and ran some bicycle dry chain lube. I then polished it off and re assembled. Off the wrist, the watch is lasting around 36 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chango Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Noice!! I've been debating this one for a while. Is this just a 104 on a SS bracelet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chango Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Nevermind. Now that I looked at the big pics I can see that the case is different. Damn iPhone screen! GLWS! Imma have to get one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
