    What was your first rep purchase?

    Canal Street in the eighties, a Movado museum rep, so bad, the "crystal" was held to the case using 4 pieces of double sided tape! On the same trip I got my wife a Gucci rep with the red/green dial, quartz movement that is actually still working today. A couple of years later a friend mailed me...

    Doctors in the house?

    Hey gang. As my user id goes so go I. I've been an ER doc for 10 years. My thought on this is, why spend thousands for something sooo close and in most cases, a wonderfully accurate time keeper, which in the end, is the purpose it was designed for. I have gens and reps and frankly love my...

    A visit to Canal Street in New York City

    I was there last summer and had a similar experience. My $30 sub is still running BTW. I asked for Rolex and she calls on her cell phone. I see a guy across the street who is sitting on a cooler get up, open it and rummage around. The vendor then swung her fanny pack around to her back and...

    How to spot a replica Panerai???

    The biggest tell for me is the recessed cannon pin. This is the pin that comes out of the dial and the hands attach to. Most reps offered by our dealers here have a recessed cannon pin and the gen is flush with the hands. It's the first thing I look at and the quickest tell of a rep for me...

    newbie question

    Definitely check with Davidsen, I have 2 of his Ti watches and the crown guards are nice and thick. Neither of them fit the case very well and had to be modded. There are several threads around here on doing that mod if you do a search.

    Is this 111h good?

    The one you are looking at has several obvious "tells" that it is a replica. As dadog13 pointed out, the most obvious one is the cannon pin fix. If you hang around here long enough and look at enough PAM reps, it becomes the most obvious clue that the watch is a rep. If you simply don't care...

    automatic watches vs watch winders

    Do a search, this has been discussed here several times before. Bottom line is that you will get various opinions on this.

    Asian 21J and Date setting?

    I have the opposite problem. When the crown is in position 1 for winding, the date wheel wants to change with every wind and often does. In position 2 the date quick-set works great. Can the stem be adjusted in and out? Maybe there is a "middle ground".

    Making A Sinn

    Damn, I just realized that this post is in the gen area :oops: I have been here a while but still learning. I had a U1 and sold it. Regret it every day. For $600 I'd pick this up in a heartbeat. Where or how can you order one?
