General Panerai questions


P_Diddy

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am slowly warming to the Panerai brand after visiting an AD over the weekend and was impressed particularly with PAM244 GMT and PAM241 and are there any reviews of these two rep models?

Both rep model come with either leather or rubber strap and I can't wear leather straps due to 'sweating' on wrists.

My questions are:

1) Are the rep rubber straps an accurate clone of the gen rubber strap, in terms of feel and durability? How much do the good rep rubber straps cost?

2) Is the stainless bracelet available with some PAM models, an accurate clone of the gen stainless steel bracelet?

3) Panerai watches seem 'simpler' when compared to other brands, particularly for dial and bezel, is there much difference between Panerai reps supplied by different rep dealers.

Thanks for your opinions...

1) Not all rep rubber straps are of good quality, you need to ask for "ultimate rubber strap";

2) No. The gen is 24/22, reps are all 24/24, nobody yet made an accurate SS bracelet;

3) Yes, there are few dealers that carry special models/quality (e.g. DSN, LH), but standard models are usually available from most dealers on this board.
