gianton Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 With Swiss ETA Unitas 6497. It's a replica of the RWC 1938a. Wanted an unbranded case back and black hands but did not get them. Davidsen though offered to send them at no cost next week. First purchase from Davidsen and all went fine, will surely buy from him again (a 232 is next). A relume of the dial and hands is a mod I want. Just a quick shot will post more shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepshow Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 So is yours! Were you after black California style hands for your watch or "normal" black Panerai style hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianton Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks my friend, great strap indeed! But think I will pass for now as I have traded my Kaktus Drifter 24/24 to a Micah Ammo 26/26. Yes Yes Yees.

Cats Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Gianton, very nice watch. Wear it well. Yesterday evening i mounted a Savage 27/26 to my 232. Next coming days i'll shoot soempics and post them over here. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 With Swiss ETA Unitas 6497. It's a replica of the RWC 1938a. Gianton, this is great! But please explain to a newbie like me, the difference between a RWC1938a, and a PAM 249. I realise you got the Cali hands, it's not that. But how can that site legitimately sell the other watch for US$950 shipped by EMS courier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianton Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I was after the black Cali hands as DSN advised at first: But no worries as he offered to send them for free together with an unbranded case back, next week. Great service so far. So is yours! Were you after black California style hands for your watch or "normal" black Panerai style hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianton Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Congrats, waiting for the pics! Gianton, very nice watch. Wear it well. Yesterday evening i mounted a Savage 27/26 to my 232. Next coming days i'll shoot soempics and post them over here. Carpe Diem Cats Newbie! Hahaha!!! Well I think it's all taking the risks... they made 300 pcs times the profit they make, you can imagine the total $$$. Now if Panerai takes action against them, it's a different story. Gianton, this is great! But please explain to a newbie like me, the difference between a RWC1938a, and a PAM 249. I realise you got the Cali hands, it's not that.

peepshow Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Vic the RWC 1938 is 45mm, the PAM249 is 47mm. That and the price are the biggest differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I keep having a hankering after a cali dial but when i see one i cant bring myself to buy one, look great though!, nice case back V, i recon it would look great on a flip lid like the purdy style pams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I keep having a hankering after a cali dial but when i see one i cant bring myself to buy one, look great though!, nice case back V, i recon it would look great on a flip lid like the purdy style pams Andy I had the same opinion as you do. Didn't liked the cali from photos and got mine as a trade to check it out, but to be honest you have to have one and wear it to understand the beauty of it.
