bluerex Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi fellas. Thought I would chime in and offer some advice for replica newbies like myself. I have been lurking around collecting all the info I could get my hands on and digesting it all before committing to making my first purchase. As I was getting my bearings, Fish (Bernd) has been able to point me in all the right directions and I am thankful for all his advice. Now maybe I can repay the favour and speed up the learning curve for those who are thinking of getting their first PAM replica 1. Do not pay over $300 for an unmodded replica. There are countless sites on the net, who offer A+++ grade replicas for $580 - $1200. The make it sound like their replicas are the only way to go and many people believe them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

professor_yaffle1 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Great post! You've certainly researched your topic fully; distilling and sharing that knowledge with the forum is a very generous gesture PS, I'm still a relative newcomer when it comes to Breitlings, so if you feel like penning a similar guide.......

bluerex Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thanks for the kind words, guys I did do a bit of reading and Fish held my hand throughout the way. My 177H from Joshua is stunning - it has a few imperfections on the case and the crown is SS but overall it looks real nice. I don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Prof. I actually bought a Navitimer from Joshua along with the PAM. There doesnt seem to be whole lot left to be researched about Breitlings as there are 2 or 3 really good guides already pinned in the Breitling section. The Navi (42mm) that I bought turned out to be way too small for my wrist so I am returning it and getting a Navi World instead. Navi World is not the best replica out there but I can live with its imperfections. Looking forward to receiving this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
