totalwise Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I saw this watch worn by cougaree, pm'd him where he got his watch from he gave me the source but it was a MM gen, costing around $1000 Slightly above my price bracket. But I really like that watch, in fact the watch is better looking than most of the PAM (if not all) I've seen. I think what sets this watch apart from the others is the bulky looking construction and the raised glass window I was wondering do you know which PAM is replicated by this, and also is it possible to get this in an automatic movement?

Corp. Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 To be true: the MM from Ken Trading / Japan was the first 47mm on the market and it was so successfull, that Panerai started t he fiddy / PAM 127 after "eliminating" the MM from RXW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brunof Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 G'day totalwise, Here's my hommage to the RXW, it has a russian movement inside. Originally acquired from River in 2006. Nice solid piece.

marinamm20 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 that one do not look like a RXW MM20 to me. CG is wrong, this one got gold hands, and the "Marina Militare" looks printed. on the RXW MM" the CG have a sligt "V" shape inside, it have Silver hands, and the "Marina Militare" is lasercut into the faceplate. but ofcourse he could have modified the MM20 here is the MM20 i bought from Ken traiding I saw this watch worn by cougaree, pm'd him where he got his watch from he gave me the source but it was a MM gen, costing around $1000 Slightly above my price bracket.

cougaree Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 You are right. This one is not my RXW. My RXW is this one below. The picture posted above is my flat case vintage MM with all DSN parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stukov Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Hi! I am planning to order a nice 44mm Pam homage from Marina Militare (jacksontse.com), or from GetatWatch (www.siswatch727.com). Can someone show me a wristshot about a PAM with rubber strap? I have only seen submersible style watch with rubber strap. Do U have any experience withe leather strap from these dealers? I'am afraid of the so called genuine leather strap comes with the watch is actually genuine plastic. So a black rubber strap would be a better choose, and later a real leather from a third party dealer. thx Edited June 11, 2009 by Stukov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanya Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I owned two Genuine Ken's Trading RXW MM 20's . One with a Plastic crystal and one with Sapphire. I still get sick about selling the Sapphire RXW to one of our very own brothers here. All these RXW knockoffs are about as close to the genuine RXW as most of the Fiddy's are to a genuine Panerai 1950. (Not Very) All the Reps, even the nicest one from Josh, has an incorrect CG and Crown. Also if the crystal is sapphire on these reps it is also all wrong. The genuine RXW sapphire was prettier than a Panerai Sapphire (Domed in the middle and Flat on the outside) with nice real AR (Not crappy blue film) The Connoly Strap may be the nicest 26mm hide ever mass produced for a watch. Connoly was the leather maker for the British Royal Family and regarded as the finest leather maker in all of England. There is NO mistaking the Connolly leather strap. Not even the Mario Paci's I own come close to the suppleness and construction of the strap. The Wooden box was a Ford Fame Box, one of the most ellegant jewelry box makers in the world. Every bit as nice if not nicer than the Genuine Pam Pearwood Boxes. and it also came with a nice set of Bergeron screwdrivers as well All in all a first class presentation and worth every bit of the $1200-2000.00 they went for when available There are alot of fakes on ebay. From time to time members here or on RG will send me a link to check an "RXW"'s authenticity. For those with Sapphire crystals on a supposed Connoly Strap it is easy. For the Mineral Crystal versions on the other black waterproof strap that came with the original RXW's it is a bit harder Here's a pic of my old Mineral Crystal Gen RXW on a Bob Strap (the Connolly is on the side, the black waterproof calf in the front) Sorry deleted most of my RXW pics when I sold the watches. Point is buyer beware. I have not seen a genuine Ken's Trading RXW for sale in almost a year a watch worth $1500 or more! Most are $200.00 (at Most) marina Militare's. Some are very nice and very moddable watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Diddy Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Is Marina Militaire a Genuine brand? I had assumed it was a 'made up name' after all these Marina Militaire watches are being sold openly by Jackson and GetaWatch company, as homage watches to Panerai. Anyone elaborate on all this? Hi! I am planning to order a nice 44mm Pam homage from Marina Militare (jacksontse.com), or from GetatWatch (www.siswatch727.com). Can someone show me a wristshot about a PAM with rubber strap? I have only seen submersible style watch with rubber strap. Do U have any experience withe leather strap from these dealers?
