erickarl Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 This was pinned in the apprentice collectors forum, but has anybody done business with Peter? http://www.ReplicaWatch88.com/index.php?pr...icture_id=43182 I'm looking to buy my first PAM 127 but I'm willing to wait to find a good one. I'm also willing to pay a premium if the watch and the person selling are top quality. Cheers, Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepshow Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 What do you mean by "...is this legit?" Oh, and his website shows that watch as out of stock, FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickarl Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 What do you mean by "...is this legit?" I mean is this a reputable dealer? Have people received what they ordered and are they good quality? I'm assuming that since there is a pinned forum topic, that they have passed some minimal screening by RWG. However I would prefer to hear it from some actual members. It scares me that one of the last posts in that topic is from a newbie and is their first post.

Sweattdogg Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 We have a whole section of trusted collectors. You should be able to get a 127 from any of them. I have no experience with who you have listed, but please let us know your feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The problem with PAM127 reps these days is that they're gone backwards finish and quality wise. Also, many dealers use old rep photos in their advertisements. The pictures on that link show old-school "EddieLee" type Fiddy from the late '05 - early '06. These are not available anymore. Both the dial (correct dial txt font and color) and xtal (correct shape, dome, and dome 'break-point') you see on those pics are now long gone and out of production. Be careful...and keep an eye on rep forums sale sections from time to time. There were few very nice 127s that exchanged hands in recent few months here and other forums. Hope this helps, babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickarl Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hope this helps, babola That is super-helpful. That's exactly the feedback I was looking for. Cheers Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannou Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 This dealer is the partner of Angus (Puretime) and is known as Wathstation on RWI /RG..so he is a trusted dealer...I don't speak about the pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannou Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 To be clearer.. Here are the pics of the exact same watch I bought from Angus/Peter with full mods (saphire crystal with AR, superlumed dial and hands + cannon pinion fix) at 318$ + shipping Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Two very different dials. All the recent Fiddy dials come with brown-ish dial txt, are painted in dark charcoal instead of black, and an overhang in numeral 1 in 12 o'clock is slightly wrong. Otherwise not bad watch altogether. BTW, Xtal isn't bad at all on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
