kolchak 17 Posted March 29, 2011 I purchased this stinking turd ~ 5 years ago & was so frightened / ashamed it was immediately hidden in the darkest corner of my basement and forgotten. It was unearthed yesterday, like a rotting corpse in a vacant New Jersy lot, during some spring cleaning. Can't remembered the scammer that sold it, but as you can see it's just terrible. The date window is beyond bad & almost impossible to see from any angle. Dial is faded and numbers are cut off at the top/side by bezel from certain angles, case is pitted, and the plastic "strap" is horrible even by rep standards. Does RWG have a rep "hall of shame" it can be donated to? If not, I'll ship this POS to anyone free of charge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted March 29, 2011 That's pretty bad, but I've seen worse. Seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted March 29, 2011 Just to prove it: Check that pizza cutter crown. Wow! If that's not bad enough, I can find worse... trust me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kolchak 17 Posted March 29, 2011 holy shit that's bad Greg! Has RWG ever had a worst rep contest or rep hall of shame because I'd like to see some other peaches? If not, I've already received a PM and will be giving my sweet Pam05 to one lucky forum member. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted March 29, 2011 No we haven't - might have to do that one of these days Meantime, good old Ufanta has probably THE worst rep I have ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solkryssare 109 Posted March 29, 2011 Crown and crown spacing looks awesome on that 05! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kolchak 17 Posted March 29, 2011 I just dry heaved & threw up a little in my mouth. It's like driving by scene of an accident....you don't want to look but you have to... Is Ufantazone still in biz? Good thing they TM'ed those pictures so no other scammer copies them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted March 29, 2011 So, wat's wrong with it. Looks fine to me. It's about 98% the same as every other Pam I've seen on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kolchak 17 Posted March 29, 2011 That 1st panerai 104 looks like a Jimmy Fu case from the Honpo factory wait till RG is back up and you may have a valuable piece of kit there this is a joke, right? Not knowing much about rep history it's over my head, but assume Jimmy Fu & Honpo made some real crapola. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balad1 0 Posted March 29, 2011 I will take the watch if it has a genuine Swiss movement and you pay for the shipping via EMS. PS: Also include any expensive straps that you own that will fit it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sublimize23 0 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) I seriously will take it, if you're offering lol. I bought one that can compete with that one off craigslist earlier today for $15 actually, mainly to have a movement to practice on once it goes! Help me start my Pam collection!
