Tom3949 0 Posted December 16, 2010 Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I've just joined the forum and put in an order for my first replica - a pan 111 Luminor Marina from Robert at PWC. Can't wait to get my hands on it - for $99 hopefully I can't go wrong. I'm really glad I found this site as I was nearly drawn in by a 'review' site which recommended a couple of suppliers - PerfectWatches.net and SuperWatches.net I think they were called. From a quick root around here it appears that all these sites are probably linked and are scammers - so thanks RWG! I'm still a little confused on what to buy however - as there seems to be a lot of models of the same watch available at vastly different prices. I am considering a second purchase already, (well it's nearly Christmas!), so if anybody can recommend a good pan 183 Radiomir Black Seal, it would be appreciated. I've just had a quick peak at House of Souvenirs and they have 3 variants of this watch for $160, $200, and $330 and Robert at PWC has one for $99 - it's all very confusing! Hopefully I will get educated however. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 996 Posted December 17, 2010 Welcome, one of the Pam guys will no doubt be along shortly to set you straight on what's what with Black Seals. I could try but I'd only lead you astray I know someone (Mary, Robert?) had one recently that was very very good. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted December 17, 2010 Robert's $99 PAM183 is great for the money, but you can do better. Robert himself may well be able to supply a higher quality version - if he's still got them, this version is the one to buy... http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...ost&p=67568 A lot of the dealers are selling the $99 watch with a few simple upgrades and charging upwards of $150 for it, but I'd give that a miss. It really isn't worth it as there are too many other limitations - I'd either go for the $99 version and be happy, or spend over $200 and go for the one I linked - it's a much higher quality watch. Generally what you're paying for if you spend more is a better quality/more accurate case and dial, engraved bridges on the movement (instead of stickered) and, sometimes, better lume.

Tom3949 0 Posted December 18, 2010 Oh dear - I've just put an order in for a Marina Miliraire watch from Getat. I think I'm addicted ... And so it begins..... Just changed the order with Tat to a 47mm 1950s with superlume and the PVD mechanism option, but I think I still NEED the orignal Marina Militaire watch I was going to order from him, plus a couple of his 'no name' customs which are cool, plus one of his 46mm pilots, and at least one of those high end Panerais that Robert is selling at PWC, (ok - I admit it I'd like all of them). I think I've got problems! My name is Tom and I think I may be an addict ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demsey 9 Posted December 20, 2010 You ever visited here Dems? Only in my dreams. I have friends who had last Spring. They loved it and recommended it. Maybe I'll take a road trip next time over. I'm getting bored of Surrey and Aberdeenshire. I need to explore the bits in between. It would be Fab. Gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
