slay0r 0 Posted December 26, 2011 hey there.. i'm new to the whole rep watch scene and find it very interesting and intriguing how well made these reps really are! Some are even 1:1 and weigh the exact same correct? I know it's not nearly as well made or built with the best parts, but they still look and function the same way... I was close to dropping $10k on a real panerai this month but I'm starting to think about maybe just getting a few REALLY well made reps... you guys seem to have a tight knit community here with a lot of educated people who know where to get the best stuff.. I live in NYC and don't mind waiting for the shipping... can u guys shed some light on which models are repped the BEST and nicest (cosmetically and physically, weight etc) cuz those are the ones I'd obviously like to get.. my price range is very large and i'm open to buying a few in bulk if they really are as nice as people make them out to be! Thanks and happy holidays to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slay0r 0 Posted December 26, 2011 haha I have been, it's just a bit overwhelming guys.. ive been reading every thread in the general/panerai forums, i'm not a complete internet noob so i soak info up really quick and kind of figure things out fast... I just figured you guys would help me out and point me to the right people/vendors/direction to get myself some nice reps!! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted December 26, 2011 Between them, all the Trusted Dealers can source all the reps on the market. As above, look around for what you like and drop the TD of your choice an email to see if it's available. Check out the wristie / wristcheck threads for pics and an idea of what's currently hot. Keep reading is the best advice - give it a month or so and you'll be up to speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slay0r 0 Posted December 26, 2011 im alrdy half way up to speed, i just want to know what TD i should go with for a really nice panerai, also H or Noob ? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solkryssare 109 Posted December 26, 2011 N factory seems to be what the kids wants these days. So any of those should make you happy. The latest 111 seems real nice to me. I'm getting a 219 as soon as my body has recovered from the shock of wanting another Pam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slay0r 0 Posted December 26, 2011 Thank you so much buddy i appreciate it ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted December 27, 2011 N-factory 005 or 318 are probably as good as it gets right now. 111m and 177 (plus base equivalents) are not far behind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slay0r 0 Posted December 27, 2011 Greg and from which TD would you recommend for these above ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted December 27, 2011 most should be able to supply. Try MReplica or Watchinternational Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slay0r 0 Posted December 28, 2011 I have a 7 inch wrist, is a 44mm panerai gonna look too cheesy? I don't want it to be huge and overly obnoxious, but they are so nice... :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slay0r 0 Posted December 28, 2011 just ordered a 111 from puretime will let u kno how it looks whne it gets here Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kolchak 17 Posted December 28, 2011 just ordered a 111 from puretime will let u kno how it looks whne it gets here Thanks! Now you've gone and done it. Pams are like potatoe chips so Might as well open another credit card and order a 177, 360, and a sub now to spare yourself the agonizing wait because you're going to buy more I also suggest get a head start on selecting suitable straps by spending a few days in the TD strap forums.
