fijikid Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Got this sucker from DSN a little while back. It is one of my nicest watches, gen included and has been a great addition to the stable. The best part about the higher end Panerai replicas is that you get all the upside without laying out thousands of dollars. I gotta say, after seeing and learning about these watches here, I'd say you'd have to be a complete idiot to spend thousands on a genuine Panerai or any watch that uses an ETA movement. I've got no problem with a $350 dollar rep that gets not just the look but the feel of quality that a gen would have. After waiting for weeks for straps to show up, I decided to just make my own - which I'm wearing in this wrist shot. Leather straps are great - homemade leather straps are really satisfying to wear (especially when leather came from my late Grandfather who ran a leather tannery). To sum up: DSN PVD 111 worh every penny...so far. (fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eunomians Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Nice watch... A classic. You've reminded me to pull out the 009 out of my safe. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiesham Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Great looking watch Fijikid! I just became a fan of the PVD... Tell me, is the watch a 47mm? The case looks huge on your wrist . This is the exact look I'm going for but the 44mm on my wrist don't have the same effect. Best, Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW,those who spend thousands on gen watches are not idiots .Simply they have the money .Nothing more ,nothing less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
