Cucumber_Jones Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Enzo is selling one of his Angelus projects. I would buy this if I did not already have one. http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25668 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I wonder if it comes with a 150-page manual of how to set the time, how to buckle the strap, in which social situations to wear and NOT wear the watch, and a daily diary of the blood, sweat and tears that went into modifying the movement to fit?

archibald Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I'm a little ambivalent about vintage PAMS since nobody who knows what they are would believe I would ever own one, and everyone else would think I paid $15 bucks for a flea market beater, but one thing is certain: that watch is a marvel of ingenuity, craftsmanship, and hard work. Everyone here should at the very least go over and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I understand Archie's POV - but still, they are gorgeous pieces to behold. I passed on the opportunity to pick one up last year - some regret there definitely but lessened by the fact it eventally went to a good home and a very nice gent to boot (reelamore). Not all vintage collectors have 'issues' Here's some pics almost identical (bar destro config.) to what Enzo is selling - hope you don't mind Gil, I may take that baby off you some day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Enzo's watch is a work of art. Way out of my price bracket, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 nice work and looks great but this movement has nothing to do with PANERAI. So i don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Beautiful work. IMHO, you buy this work for the craftsmanship and movement. It would be silly to pretend this is a gen vintage Panerai. As Arch says there might be 5 guys who would wear it (including Ralph of course). And most likely none of us are one - at least I'm not. And in truth other than a Paneristi convention no one is going to care what it is. You buy this for what it is - a beautiful homage piece with a very cool movement.

eunomians Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Work of art it is. Very impressive. In fact, I really like it! 2 drawbacks: It's a "Panerai". It is only partially a genuine watch. For me personally, that kind of money is best spent upon a genuine vintage watch with actual provenance. Like a JLC MKII, Breitling Navitimer 806, Heuer Tri-Compax Autavia, Sinn EZM-1, Benrus Type II, Longines Czech WWII Aviator, Tutima Luftwaffe Flieger, etc...
