Daylight Pics Request

[bruce79]

I've been seriously tempted to invest in a Daylight but it'd be nice to see some of your pics for reference. I searched thread after thread last night for pics but I was left wanting more. I know you've got 'em...now it's time to show 'em. Please add comments if you wish. Thanks

188 - Asian 775X Based

[Stephane]

I will post mine soon...it's coming back with a Kruzer gen crown next week

[bruce79]

It'd be interesting to know which are 7750 and which are 7753...is there much of a difference besides the movement and the price? Beautiful pics by the way.

7750 is a misnomer when it comes to PAM Daylight Chronos. 7750 mov't comes with subdials @ 6, 9, 12 o'clock position (also known as Tag Heuer chrono-style), in 7753 they're positioned @ 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, just like Pam 40 and 44mm chrono watches use.

188/196/250/251 reps come in two mov't flavors, Swiss ETA 7753 (Valjoux 7753), or Asian 7753 clone.

If you can source a nice 188 or 196 with old factory case and Swiss ETA 7753 - go for it by all means, they're worth every penny.

Here ya go...

[bruce79]

fishgodeep, very nice my friend, nice detailed pics. The crown has obviously been modded. Looks like a possible lume job too? Am I right in saying the sub dials are more recessed on the asian models than the ETA models? If so, how much of a noticeable flaw is this?

[Estaban]

Here ya go...

Unbeliveable watch you have there. I had a 196 with the old case. I miss it. You've obviously done a lume and new crown on that watch. The datewheel looks amazing. Tell us more!

[bruce79]

At pbe & dluddy, beautiful straps...

Thanks Bruce...!!

Watch is as it came - with exception of re-lume by Ziggy......

Dial is cosmetically more correct on the Asian - i had one also - but decide to stick with my 7753 as this engine rules - but they both have their flaws

Fit and finish is excellent on this (think it's out of the same factory as the "Ruby/Josh 036".

Bracelet is such a good fit to the case and with the single deployment - it stays despite strap temptations.

Believe you can still source from Angus/Andrew/Joshua/King and probably other respected sellers.

Due a Lello 7753 datewheel and then just waiting and hoping for a new upgrade 7753 dial .....or maybe even a gen if the replica gods are in favour:-

PS - now found the signature I always wanted -

This very post from 'lovepanerai' over at RWI sometime ago, made me pull a trigger on mine...

Well mine is just back from the master so your timing is impeccable. IMHO, fully modded - single-sided AR, relume, hand swap, Lello datewheel and gen crown.

[bruce79]

Just referenced a pic of a gen 250 and it's sub dials seem to be a bit recessed. Am I imagining this in my head or is there a difference in sub dial depth between the ETA & Asian movements? @ kruzer, very nice my friend. Am I right in assuming the stock daylight reps do not come with ar, I've looked around and haven't found any descriptions that state otherwise.

[Watchmeister]

No, that crystal has Chief's single sided AR. As I look at everyone's pictures I see everyone else's watches are pristeen. Mine are all nicked and scratched. Do people ever wear their watches?

FGD-

That 236 looks awesome.

KRUZ

[dluddy]

I know I wear mine It's all in the photography

Agree with Kruz. Nice 236 FGD

[skjalg]

I believe daylight to be one of the best panerai replicas around, or am I wrong?

Here is a pic of mine:

Will all the glare in my pic go away once I have had it AR`ed? Should perhaps superlume it as well, does chieftang do both? Does chieftang AR both sides?

Your wish is granted friend- enjoy-

Awesome pieces guys, FGD that 188 with recessed subdials is simply outstanding!

Is that Homer crown with bevel added on inside the teeth?

BTW, I have decided on more traditional approach and got myself a 196, like Kruzer

250 is a stunner for sure, as well.

cheers,

Muchos Gracias.....say the 188 as it is now enjoying a warmer climate and a second language,,,,,:-)

That's exactly as it came out the box - the latest top end 7753 version from Joshua - fat CG and crown and oh that dial is the best yet by far....

Sadly it had to go to make room in my box for 196 .....work in progress...:-)

Best
