kinneyrhs said:So since I caught eye of the 036 I have been doing a little more research into it and saw the T/L SWISS issue. What is the correct lettering? I checked out http://www.panerai.com and although I can not say for sure, it looks like L SWISS L, but if you go to http://www.essential-watches.com (sorry no direct link, flash site) you can see that it says T SWISS T and I am just a little confused. Its a SP EDITION 1998, so i thought it should be L, but I don't know..... Any thoughts? :?

takashi said:@Navi... Unfortunately the so called ultimate 111h with high canon pin will set you back at least 350-400USD. Furthermore the movement with correct dagger is a hybrid movement Chinise-Swiss with potential problems. If you're looking for a decent PAM rep that won't set you back so much, I would recommend the PAM036 from Ruby. It has Reintitan case with no short pin problems. Thick crown like the genuine too (you don't have to upgrade the crown). Possible mod is of course reluming or dial and hands change (you may get this from Davidsen after he sorts out the lume issue). When you add up... you still have an excellent rep for under 300USD. Do consider this option.

@max: If you want sandwich dial and good, get the Davidsen's PVD any model with sandwich dial or his upgraded 177h. Yes you have to paid double for this one ~400USD (vs ~200USD on cheap and good 036).
