J!m 289 Posted May 8, 2014 Never cared for them, but may go for a 3646 just because I seem to like rare, obsolete, outdated watches. I do wish it had a seconds hand however... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lefty83g 0 Posted May 9, 2014 IM DROOLING OVER THAT GRIFFEY STRAP WHO DID THAT FOR YOU PLEASEEEE TELL ME Which one? Griff is my favorite modern era player. I played baseball myself for 28 years. The 127 homage and the 52mm EGI both have Griffey straps on them. I got them both from a guy in Los Angeles named Johnny Torrez. http://www.johnnystraps.com/ 52mm EGI: Actually have a pig buckle on this now: And the PAM 127 Homage: This one had the pig buckle installed already at photo time: ive been talking to jonny and now im trying to figure out which baseball glove and scotty cameron headcover im going to ship him to use ....damn you lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dango1960 0 Posted May 10, 2014 Johnny's the best. I'm a huge baseball fan. Found two gloves on eBay, a 1930's horsehide Earl Averill and a 1950´s Al Rosen, both for $30, and sent em to Johnny. He checked em out and made me a couple of the coolest watch straps you could ever imagine. The leathers are beautifully aged, have a wonderful patina and have just enough glove markings to give a hint of what they're really all about. Really. I haven't seen better leather on a watch strap anywhere. Johnny does beautiful work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marper 0 Posted May 12, 2014 Never heard of Pam until I came here. I was wanting a Tag or Omega rep but fell in love with the simple non pretentious design of the Pam ' and now I have 3 reps all Pams! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgreg 0 Posted May 13, 2014 Like many others I had never heard of Panerai before I got into reps. Took me a few months to even consider them, but you read so much about how well made they are on these forums your interest gens peeked. Got a 076 on a xmas special but it was just ok....then I got the 372 and I thought it was too big for my 7" wrist. But it was gorgeous, it just popped when I wore it, and I was hooked. Got a 026, and a 092, then a 111 and a 390 also a 114 and a 243. It is a very subtle, under stated watch, but they are excellent reps. I havent bought one on a while, sold half of what I had waiting for a good m2m on the 127 or 372 super clone. Added some pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
latimorejr 0 Posted May 13, 2014 Wow...that's a beautiful watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwt 11 Posted May 13, 2014 I didn't like Panerai's then I got into them and had a couple of reps and now I got off them again. I think their designs are boring and the 44mm size doesn't work for me. Their dials are boring as well.....all this is controversial I know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag69 0 Posted May 13, 2014 I picked up a Pam 196 with an a7753 movement from M2M. I didn't realize what a beautiful watch they were until I received it and had it in my hand. Pictures really don't really provide the actual beauty of these watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaymelia 1 Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) honestly, i used to think PAM's were ugly and thought i would never wear one.... but after being here for a few months, they have started to grow on me. I bought my first PAM the other month and love it! They really are one of the top rep watches you can buy now! I have the same opinion about AP watches... just dont really like the look of them, but they are starting to grow on me now... thinking of buying my first one here soon lol. I hate this hobby.... its expensive as fuck! Same Ive been frequenting the forum for a few months now... Beforehand i barely knew what Panerai's were.... Bough my first on on m2m (388 from ShadyManc) which arrived on Monday, its not been off my wrist since! I can see me heading down the same rabbit hole as a lot of you... But the next in line for me is a black dialled AP 15400 (probably from toro) Edited May 13, 2014 by Jaymelia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ccrsvo 0 Posted May 14, 2014 I was never much of a watch wearer until I found this forum. I thought Tags were the best...lol, guess that's what you get for living in the middle of nowhere. My first watch from the forum was of course a Tag, but then I got a PAM253I and an AP ROO 3.5. I love the 253 and the AP, but the AP will have to go to get the 346. I read what everyone thought of the AP and don't get me wrong, it's a really nice watch, but just doesn't feel right on me. So for now 3 watches keep me happy, Tag, being a quartz model for work, 253 for sport and 346 for those special nights out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hauspro 0 Posted May 18, 2014 started here just to get the moonwatch then I was going to be done... Now I have 3 on the way, a full watch box, and the Pam I originally thought was so boring is looking better and better as lucky number 13....uhoh.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
