Hey guys,

My brother in law is a long-time admirer but can't afford a gen right now, so i'm gonna surprise him with a high-quality rep!

He's mentioned the Marina recently so thought I'd ask here for recommendations.

Guidance appreciated, and if you have experience of TDs that have the latest and greatest, please advise.

Thanks!

You are a good brother-in-law, Dude.

Here are some option that will hopefully help guide your search. There is a lot of knowledge on this site, so search is your friend.

  1. There is a sweet Belkin12 blue dial in m2m sales right now: https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/belkin12-pam-build-blue-sunburst-dial-conus.10983270/
  2. The PAM 1085 HWF was ranked on this site as one of the best PAM reps in 2021. There are probable some still around. Hont has one listed and he seem to have a reputation of "the guy who can source anything out there." Maybe that is just legend. https://www.hontwatch.online/index.php﹖main_page=product_info&cPath=372&products_id=13810.html
  3. InTime has a PAM 1114 that is listed in their ready-to-ship section (but, that is never a guarantee): https://www.intime06.co/panerai/921...-on-blue-leather-strap-p9010-super-clone.html
  4. Toto has a 1663: https://torobravo.watch/product/pam1663-lumminor-marina-fibratech-vulcano-blu-44mm/

Again, want to stress that just because a TD has it listed on their site, it doesn't mean it is in stock and sometimes it can take a while (https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...-before-you-freak-out.10983549/#post-11812742)

Thanks for heads-up and links!
He's been on about the PAM for a couple of decades now, but then resorted to a Tag Kirium and accepted his fate ;)
I'll see what works and check with the TD's in terms of delivery time and availability.
Cheers!

I concur the two new Luna Rossa are blue and new, so they should be easy to source from any TD. Especially the 1319 seems well made, as often with VSF subs


Also look into the 1529


As for the 1085, as much I love the manual wound in Bettarini case, you should be aware that the thickness is off.
