We need an ALE7575 guide for AP reps.

Basically, AP rep collectors are a bunch of decadent dilettantes. We have nobody, besides the noble semi-attempt of Dr. Theo on RG, to step up and document every little micro-difference between the different generations of AP reps like ALE7575 has done for the entire catalogue of Panerai reps in his infamous and voluminous "PAM Guide." What is lacking here? Willpower? Know-how? Time? OK, we have a semi-completist guide to the Diver series. But who can really author the complete and detailed guide to all AP reps? We really need a genius with a lot of time to step up or put our minds together for the benefit of future generations, documenting every little defect of each ROO/RO/DIVER, etc. etc. with exacting macro shots of every little nook and cranny of every AP rep available or non-available. Why has this not happened?

Semi completist guide, hmm, true yes it is incomplete! I do plan to finish at some stage but we all have real life to deal with in the back ground, family, work ect ect!!

I take my hat off to Ale for his Pam guide, and I couldn't even compete, not do I have the time to even start.
If it bothers you that much that we don't have one, then get stuck in yourself and I'll help in anyway I can

Sharrkey, you know you are one of the 5 people in the world that could probably do this guide. Now the other 4 have to testify. Me, I bow to the powers and intelligences greater than me and await their appearance.

They know who they are. They will appear here one after another at some point. One of them is a TD, and the others are well-known.

I'd be willing to help out

It would be a lot easier than the PAM guide, many fewer models and mostly common flaws among many of them.

Are you sure it will be easier? Look at the SS Diver, for instance.

Being knowledgeable and being a modder are two different things. The guys I listed can tell you the details of each model down to the smallest ones.

Those are the members that helped me when I first became an AP fan. We may not always agree on everything , but their knowledge is plentiful .
