panerai153 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Saw a brief write up about this watch on another forum and was impressed. I remembered that my wife mentioned that she didn't have a Gold watch except for a gen Omega dress watch which is tiny and not practical for everyday wear. This looked like something to fit the bill. Sweated it out through almost 5 days in US customs, got here on Friday and she loves it!! Didn't take it off all weekend. Looks like her gen Tag AquaRacer is going to be spending more time in her watch box. I'm not sure how close to the gen this watch is, but if anyone can pull this watch off, it's her.

Tinitonsi Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Very nice, mate I bought the SS version with bracelet to my wife too. In the beginning, she was perplexed since she 'liked' the 'big watches'. But, after she got many compliments from her friends, it's now more than 3 months that she has only the Lady AP on the wrist. PS: The gen Sub she ever wore, now in the box
droptopman Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Very nice. That dial and bezel combo looks great. Like how the screws break up the stones on the bezel. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.
Legend Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 My lady has the same! This is an accurate and gorgeous model. The "diamonds" are surprisingly good I must say!
panerai153 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Posted March 24, 2015 Legend, you are correct, I was impressed by the CZ's. Don't have any idea as to how they will hold up over the long haul, but they sure look good now. She really likes it, and that's what's important. As has been said many times before" Happy wife, happy life"!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1

Sent from my iP**** using Tapatalk Bro, that sounded a little too wrong.. a trifle too excited, just because a few of us bought and own the watch. It doesn't help that you and I ordered the watches in the same batch from the same dealer hahaha.. But yes, it is a lovely watch. Ironically, one of the most accurate AP reps to be produced.
swdivad Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 I'm thinking of getting the steel version with no diamonds just to keep it a bit low-key for her... Is the crown push-in or screw down?

mbjoer Posted April 4, 2015 Report Posted April 4, 2015 Am considering the blue dial steel version for my daughter. How diamond-like are the diamonds? And did you have the diamonds re-set? I am concerned about one falling out.
panerai153 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Posted April 4, 2015 The CZ's are very good. Can't tell that they are not diamonds without a diamond tester. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
folex Posted April 6, 2015 Report Posted April 6, 2015 Agreed, I went to a boutique to check the gen out and it is indeed undetectable by eye. The CZ's are very good. Can't tell that they are not diamonds without a diamond tester. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This rep is so good, that the only actual way to tell its a rep on a wrist is by saying "Noob factory" in the presence of the wearer and the spouse and see if you get a reaction.

Tinitonsi Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) My wife says hi The watch finished the 'spa' treatment (WD40, baby oil, re-polish and re-brush) Edited April 7, 2015 by Tinitonsi 1
Legend Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 My wife says hi The watch finished the 'spa' treatment (WD40, baby oil, re-polish and re-brush) Honestly that looks very gen, if it is not?
Tinitonsi Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 Honestly that looks very gen, if it is not? Lol, it's not indeed. I just worked on it during the Easter holidays (very bad weather in Italy). It's amazing how many things you can learn in the forums. If I remember that 2 years ago I couldn't remove a link from a bracelet. Now I dessemble then reassemble a whole watch or movt. I change DW or remove crown & pushers from a ROO... WOW! Thx everybody around here
