Jibuti 958 Posted May 30, 2020 Nice thread, MS. My 1st rep is F A Jones from 2003, gotten from Replicahaus.com in 2002. Still working... Basically A6497 with decorated bridges. Robert was one of a kind... In very good way. Of course, if you were an idiot he never forgot to kick you in the face... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted June 2, 2020 Thanks, great post. Also been a long time member, going back to older version about 2007. I have a bunch of reps from back then, still running strong. Many at that time did have Gen ETA movements. I had bought a few from the scam sites, like Best Swiss. Still have some of those. TWB YM from Ideal SOSF from PC PAM 089 from DSN SOSF from Robert atPWC IWC from TT One of first, 1995 bought in South America, still runs! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted June 4, 2020 Thanks @NFleischer Noel, my SOSF came from Robert at PWC as well. It was the first one I bought and it would be 10 years old this month. The names of the Breitlings used to fascinate me back then- it was like they were designed by an alpha male marketing team.

Proctor 5 Posted June 4, 2020 I bought this one from Toro back a while ago. It has been on my wrist nearly everyday for 6 years now. I have serviced it once a year, changed and lubed gaskets (I swim with it on) and replaced the stem once. Couldn’t be happier 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted June 12, 2020 This from @dave47 in the wrist check... Happy Pamsday, Group!! Today, in its honor, another gem pulled from the watch boxes: this PAM RADIOMIR BLACK SEAL automatic, the first Panerai I ever purchased more than ten years ago. After wearing it for a while, this gem still works very well, with the date flipping over at midnight as expected. Only problem I ever had: one of the extended strap bars fell off; some 'tough stuff' gop was used to fasten it in place. (please my limited vocab here for the sealer; I sometimes have memory problems and don't remember stuff, bad cases of non compus mentis that makes doing stuff frustrating. The BLACK SEAL was purchased from the now defunct website g-watch. com. dave: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegolfman 38 Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Really helpful post...would definitely appreciate more "long term reviews". Particularly when they exceed (or not) the initial, enthusiastic early days...regrets, expectations exceeded, etc...
