I've been reading posts on this forum for a couple months now. There are some very knowledgable people here and I have learned a great deal. Just joined up and wanted to start contributing a little. I bought my first rep about a month ago from Silix. It was a cheap omega, but I have really enjoyed it! I really am amazed at the quality and seamless transaction. I just ordered a Pam177 N Noob and a Tag from Lucy at TrueTime. She has been excellent to deal with. A very helpful dealer for my first "real" purchase. I had never heard of Panerai before coming here, but I must say that I can see many more coming my way! Well, just wanted to say thanks for all the great information here...especially from Ale. What a great source of information regarding Pams!
