DannyBoy818 0 Posted October 24, 2012 My Girlfriend went to Dubai and her co worker took her to a market where they sell rep purses and watches. She purchased a Pam 171 without my knowledge. I tried to do some research and found almost nothing about reps on the panerai pam 171. I looked at the chart that members gave me and still nothing. Does anyone here have any info on this rep? She wont be back until Saturday so I'm just doing some research to see if she did a good job or not. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 82 Posted October 24, 2012 The 171 is a standard 44mm power reserve model. Some are better than others - to be honest, it could go either way, but street market reps are often pretty iffy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 82 Posted October 24, 2012 To give you some idea of the sort of thing that people pick up on street markets, you should take a look at this thread: http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=36765 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DannyBoy818 0 Posted October 25, 2012 Thanks Greg. She learned a thing or two picking out good reps from me. We shall see how well she did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kwt 11 Posted October 25, 2012 Sorry to crash your thread but are there any trusted dealers that can get a PAM 171? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,509 Posted October 25, 2012 Sorry to crash your thread but are there any trusted dealers that can get a PAM 171? Thanks. You'd be better to ask them direct - send an email and photo to your preferred TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwt 11 Posted October 25, 2012 Cheers Del. The main grip that I am sure a lot of people who have a Panerai leather strap clasp model s that the clasp is fiddly and the leather strap was designed for a small child. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DannyBoy818 0 Posted October 26, 2012 I asked a couple of our TD's and they said they are able to get the pam 171 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALE7575 24 Posted October 27, 2012 This is a very special watch with polished SS and brushed Ti and with a very special movement. There are no known good (or even medium grade) replicas of this watch. Therefore you could receive at best a beautiful wtach but completely inaccurate.

Therefore you could receive at best a beautiful wtach but completely inaccurate. ALE ALE I figured that much. From what i saw through via skype. There was a display backing which is wrong according to the gen. But from what I seen through the webcam. It looks ok. I wont be able to tell until tomorrow when she gets back. Fingers crossed. I just hope she didnt get ripped off. I dont mind if its inaccurate as long as it looks good and well put together. Since its a rep it cant be 100 percent perfect. But if anything at least i have a SS bracelet for my pam 312. I'll keep everyone updated. and post pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DannyBoy818 0 Posted November 2, 2012 Here are the pics. It wasnt a good rep. The dial was wrong for the Pam 171. But the movement looks good. Bless her heart, she tried. I Love Her for thinking about me when on her business trip to think of me and my love for watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
