the collector Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) Guys, i wanted to buy a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, but realised quickly by the help of good RWG members that the reps are not good. So now i need to find another watch to buy... the problem is that i do not know which one.... all i know is that is has to be a A+ class rep... Please guys advice me. (PS No Breitling, Omega or Franck Muller) BTW if you have a nice watch you want to sell, please PM me...

tobico Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 i recommend MBW AP Royal Oaks or Hublot Ceramic Both are nicely build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 i recommend MBW AP Royal Oaks or Hublot Ceramic Both are nicely build i agre with that... it depends how much you are willing to spend...if you want something different go with the new Chopard GT MM...or wait for a week and get the new IWC that is going to be released..

the collector Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Money is not a issue, quality is the most important factor. Where can i see pics of the MBW AP? how good is this rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Steelfish. Quality has to be seen to be believed. I hear the new Ferrari Panerais are good, but they're not my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerthat Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 If quality is more important than $$$ ; the Hublot Ceramic cannot be beat (Asian 7750 not most reliable movement) ; but I am assuming he is referring to quality build/look not longevity.

Richard Tracy Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 There you go.. Pamela also has some goodies worth squeezing.... Try the 196...my favorite pammy of all times,... or the gorgeous 212.. Can't miss with either of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kollektor Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm a noob, but from what I've read and seen... 1 Santos 100 Chrono XL with 7753 2 The PAM250 7753 3 PAM 111H or 212 4 Concur with Pugwash--Steelfish is awesome 5 IWC 3717 is pretty nice on a leather strap 6 The Scuderia is VERY accurate but unless you drive a Ferrari...

I fully agree with you about the Scuderia, it is a very nice watch, but i guess you have to drive a ferrari to wear it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the collector Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Alright, i have decided to go for a PAM as i do not have any Panerais in my collection... Now the questions still remains, which one? there are so many... Please, i need advice, I want the most accurate PAM rep, again price does not matter...

deltatahoe Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 personally, i would rank potential first PAMs in the following order.... i) 112h ii) 183h iii) 212 iv) 063 v) 217 or 127 vi) 187 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kollektor Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Caveat: I'm a relative noob. I'd say ONLY go with hand winds if you're going to have 1 watch. The 063 is a modified ETA, and I don't care for the lack of AR. My favorites are the 177H and 111H. Dependable movements, solid feel. You can get modded versions that address canon pin and L Swiss L placement, fonts, lume etc. They go with a wide range of bracelets--especially the 111. You can wear it with a SS polished/brushed bracelet, SS brushed bracelet, rubber or leather strap. With each strap it feels like a different watch. The sandwich dial is really quite neat, giving the watch face an unusual character. They can be passed off as sporty, casual and even business. The 177H is more sporty and has fewer strap options, so I'd point you towards a 111H. Only downside is no date. Still, these classics are my favorites. My own opinion, of course.

cypher Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Is the 036 still supposed to be the most accurate PAM rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kollektor Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 guys,,,? I repeat, 111H :-) If it's got to be just one watch, then I'd go hand wind. Dependable, classy, sporty, etc. Wide range of strap choices. VERY cool watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
