timetobuyawatch 0 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) EDIT: Watch is in house and im very pleased with the purchase. Service was excellent and i got the watch after 6 days with DHL express. Got it from Toro Bravos since there are so much ruckus around if you can post QC picutes or not, i will be a bit careful. i have accepted the watch and im not telling who im buying from but it was said to be the newest pam390 noob version. Admin edit: Posting of QC pics not permitted - name of dealer included or not. Please see here: http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=14317 i did a quick glance at these before approving. what i did notice is that the luminor panerai logoes seems a bit thin and light color. for the other parts i cannot see anything wrong. i accepted as i might get something that bothers me more on a second attempt. im getting the mustard strap for it which is on its way too i love the simplicity of the 390 and that its so close to gen. do you think ill be happy? :) i also ordered a panerai box to go with it best regards.

timetobuyawatch 0 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Should be nice. Rep boxes are fools gold. fools gold? i bought it just for kicks to test my cousin the self proclaimed AD/1337 watchexpert and he knows im looking for a gen these days hehe :P (he is a Breitling guy and not to good with panerais even though he has been hands on a few. He claims no replica can ever fool him so this will be exciting) ,,, Edited September 1, 2015 by timetobuyawatch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timetobuyawatch 0 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) yes i love it too, many people complaint its lacking this and that but the more i look at them the more i like that its not so busy. a window on the back would be nice but when it would just show a shitty rep movement its better not to have it :P @ admin, no problem. i asked the TD to send by 3-5 days dhl express (yes im very impatient when i have made up my mind with a purchase) so ill update this post with my own pics instead im on a business trip now, and there is a used gen 111 right down the street (priced about 5k $ roughly converted) with some scratches. im not sure i can resist.....

JCFans 0 Posted July 9, 2014 Question: where did you get the mustard strap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timetobuyawatch 0 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) the crown guard came loose and was lost on a fishing trip this weekend :/ i emailed toro, i hope he can help, or does anyone have any good tips if he cant get the part? the strap was from strap-works.com btw. do you think im crazy to buy another 390 to have as backup if i loose or break this one? i already ordered it lol . but next purchase will be the 111v3 with upgrades and everything. cant wait :) /dd99 Edited July 17, 2014 by dailydrifter99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwalt 0 Posted August 19, 2014 Picked up a 390 from Sead, I love it. I have mine on a Greg Stevens Crazy Horse strap. Enjoy yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timetobuyawatch 0 Posted August 26, 2014 i just came back from ibiza. i chose the 390 to be my travel mate. One of the nights we were in pretty "good shape" at 5 in the morning and decided to go swim. forgot to take the watch off and realized when i came back in. watch still running perfect and no moist inside glass i was so anxious that the first water test was in salt water rofl :P anyways. heres a pic with the mustard strap again from the island free uploader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
