Blackwind Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I have researching for several month now the best option on rep or homage watches patterned after Panerai Marine Diver watches, both base model and sandwich versions. My primary interest has been to find the very best PVD case and Swiss ETA movement I can find. In searching for that, this site came up ...so I joined. Hopefully in my quest to find the perfect marriage of parts and movements, I can buy the watch I'm looking for. Several key factors for what I'm seeking..... -PVD case and buckle -AR sapphire crystal -Swiss ETA movement, prefer Swiss Unitas 6497 -unbranded (rep is acceptable but just have not found the BEST of breed yet) -SuperLuminova In my search I have received guidance to: * find the best pam111h available along with the movement I want (I have been looking for a gen) * Find the best PVD coating service I can locate (believe I have located a great service for $270) * Locate a creditable and capable watchmaker/builder in the US (Believe I have found a Few Good Men so to speak) I humbly accept guidance and assistance in my quest! And that ladies and gentlemen...is my intro. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 It sounds like you have found what you are looking for already. Seems like you want a gen and going to paneristi, they offer 111H gens there all the time. Having a gen coated with PVD is maybe a little unusual, but go for it. Otherwise you can get a very fine 111 rep with a decent 6497 from Davidsen and it is even a PVD, saving you the run around. Good luck either way.
