Hilarious. In the first link one of the persons who replied incredulously is someone whose login ID I recognise from another rep forum.

Sure, it's possible that there are two people in a gen and a rep forum with the exact same ID, but I don't think so. I especially love the way he sounds as if someone hit him in the gut about learning that Montana was wearing a rep.

Uh, hello, I wanted to say. Weren't you wearing one too, until recently? ;)

I will buy a gen PAM one day. But as God is my witness, I won't be a snob about it, and disown you all in rep forums. Might keep it a little on the d/l, though, but that's it! :)

Paneristi yell "Say it ain't so Joe!"

Joe joins RWIers and shows off his Pam REP

joe could probably buy 90% of those lame duck paneristi's. point is it's just a watch wear it in good health or keep it locked in a safe and live your life as an agoraphobic.

Yeah that was exactly what I said when I saw that thread over on Risti, big deal, who cares what a, retired, NFL player is wearing on his wrist, what a waste of time.

So what's the debate? He's rich and not buying gens so he's hurting the risti's feelings?

An odd remark. I frequent watchforums all over, and I always log in using the same name. I started coming here just a few months ago. I have owned alot of "real" watches including Panerai and Rolex, and I still own a few "real" ones.

If I had a few million dollars laying around, I would never even consider a replica. But since I don´t, and my appetite for watches is greater than my budget, I strayed to the dark side.


Take care,

Hell, I use the same ID on TimeZone and on many other forums not watch related. I keep my rep discussions strictly within RG/RWI. You will never see me post my rep Pams on any other forums other than rep forums and I will never try to sell my reps and pass them off as gens as many f*ckin scumbags do....

I think this was more of a fault to the wardrobe person. I doubt he owns the clothes in that picture, much less the accessories. They probably wanted to make the shot more manly so they got him a bigger watch. Actors and models do this all the time.

It's a prop, anyway....

No one outside of rep world/nerasti will recognize the watch.

Even if they do, they will never know if it's fake or real.

Interesting

I think the guy that said it was likely given to him by the stylist is right on. I definitely don't understand the people that came back and was like "he should have known the difference!". Have they ever SEEN rep pams? I have a few in-laws that have gens and they had no idea mine was a rep until I told them. This is after they handled it and checked out the back. You'd have to know what you were looking for to spot a rep and I'm pretty sure Joe (and 99.9999999999999999999% of the world) neither knows nor cares.

Makes me wonder if the PAM in the JCrew catalog is a rep as well... Anyone?

Bottom line: it's just a watch.

Like the design, don't want to pay big bucks: rep is fine. Like authenticity, want to pay the big price: enjoy your gen.

With watches, it all comes down to looks, so a rep collector and a Panerista whose 1950's are 99.99999% identical to each other have good taste. I don't believe that the PAM fanboys hate reps so much just because 'genuine Panerai watches are better'. They really aren't that much better physically, they just cost more. So I believe a part of their grudge is the fact that some people basically have the same thing as they do, but for a lot less money.

Just reading the posts on those network54 links makes me feel like I'm spending too much time here.

Big deal. It's just a prop from the photog's wardrobe crew; poor bastard didin't know the difference, or didn't care. Only true watch-nerds would raise such a shit storm over something so ridiculous.

Btw, the Lady Liberty pic out the window is just a prop too.

Thank God for the over-reacting losers who take this shit too seriously, to remind the rest of us how to not act like a complete social retard. :)
