mulder 0 Posted August 15, 2010 I didnt know Panerai made a Purdey watch until the other day whilst cruising around the web. I know a few reps exist but wouldnt opening the cover to see the time all the time drive you mad? Plus what is the durability of the catch that hold the cover closed like? Would make a nice display piece though. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted August 15, 2010 Just buy the cover for display. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted August 15, 2010 Yes, opening the cover would drive me nuts - which is why I've never bought one I believe the reps are pretty solidly made, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted January 3, 2011 They were all over the place. Dunno whether they're still available though - try Timesshop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted January 3, 2011 I bet WE has a hundred of them in every colour of the rainbow If I was getting one of those I'd get a Panerai Sealand instead. The official watch of my favourite principality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted January 3, 2011 I bet WE has a hundred of them in every colour of the rainbow Yup. Complete with spelling mistakes, broken hinges and made from old toilet seats.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AustinTech 0 Posted January 3, 2011 The gen is beautifully engraved. Not sure how they could replicate that with machines or children, but maybe? I always thought it was a women's watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertk 0 Posted January 4, 2011 I bought it a few years ago from a trusted dealer. Hardly ever wear it, but it is well engraved and I've had no issues with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mulder 0 Posted January 5, 2011 Can you show us the actual face of it? Not the watch, the cover. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnG 41 Posted January 6, 2011 I am sorry, but if you wear a watch called "Purdey", you cannot be 100% heterosexual. Which is fine of course, but just so you know, you fall somewhere in the middle on the male-female spectrum... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mulder 0 Posted January 6, 2011 I should have said the cover NOT the dial but thanks for that. Its the first clear shot of the dial I have seen. As for Purdey you do know it was made for the gun company, Purdey? The worlds finest shot guns? David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted January 6, 2011 if you dont, you're homophobic I don't wear one but I am not homophobic. Like I said, having an ambiguous sexual orientation is fine and I respect anyone who has that little cock-hunger once in a while. HOWEVER, I would rather not wear a Purdey and run the real risk that someone with that special appetite will confuse me with a like-minded individual and try to shove his wang up my ass. So, in summary, I don't want to get a meat injection - so I just say "no" to the Purdey - but that doesn't make me a homophobe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michelle 0 Posted January 6, 2011 you sure talk purdy, mister - you sure you dont want my meat? When I visit each time this place, you are all making ugly insinuations. I think you say meat but really you speak of the penis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aren 27 Posted January 6, 2011 you sure talk purdy, mister - you sure you dont want my meat? When I visit each time this place, you are all making ugly insinuations. I think you say meat but really you speak of the penis. Welcome, welcome Michelle, OMG...when they said "meat" did they really mean penis...??? If this is true ?...John..shame, shame on you. Michelle, these are a great group here at RWG. You found the right place. Lots of great information and wonderful people here. There are no finer people anywhere. I hope you will enjoy your time here. This is the best watch forum with the most terrific people. I told you there needed to be a "just girls" sub-forum here...for guy talk translations. I was confused about what is ugly...it must be the insinuations ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted January 6, 2011 Strongly against calling my meat, penis and/or ugly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted January 6, 2011 Strongly against calling my meat, penis and/or ugly I don't actually know you that personally wat44, but I agree with you ... I think. I am a vegetarian, and so I don't call meat anything, but especially not penis. I agree with you even if I don't consume meat or have a penis (biologically) I think it is a lost in translation issue...John's and/or Michelle's. No harm no foul. I think you meant to say you are strongly against calling your penis meat and/or ugly... but I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted January 6, 2011 ok - a lot hangs on your answer... why are you a vegetarian? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted January 6, 2011 ok - a lot hangs on your answer... why are you a vegetarian? I don't understand the question at the presupposition level. Wat hangs on my answer? I don't think your question is why am I a vegetarian. I think you are asking what I consume? Vegetables- Yes ! Meat- No ! Does meat=penis? The answer is No. Is this reply clear?

wat44 0 Posted January 6, 2011 is the reason you dont eat meat medical or philosophical or some other reason? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
