Hi all

[Nottsman]

Hello from here in the UK.

I admit I stumbled across the rep community about 2 months ago almost by accident.

Read a lot on RWG initially........I'm not much of a poster.

My main likes are Omega, Pannys and Tags.
I've been considering IWC as well.

Own 3 reps (PAM048, PAM BlackSeal H, Omega Seamaster AT black)
I've had excellent transactions with Andrew, Josh and Homer thus far.

Waiting on delivery for my latest 2 :
- Omega SMP Chrono (Neil)
- TAG Link Auto blue (Josh)

Contenders for next purchase are: :roll:

- Speedy Broad Arrow blue/white
- TAG Link Chrono Blue
- Omega SMP blue (the one!)

Cheers

Welcome from Florida USA, where right now I have my A/C on to keep cool. Enjoy your stay

 

[takashi]

I thought it's winter time? Why do you need an A/C?

 

[Panerino]

It's about 78 outside and a little muggy

 

[takashi]

Ah... I see. I can live with that without A/C

 

[Nottsman]

Winter has hit here very suddenly..........

Last week it was about 13 Centigrade in the morning and 2 days ago........ minus 2!!

Good cash that could have been spent on reps now goes on heating

Anyway...something to look forward to :

spending xmas and new years in the Caribbean 8)

Nice! well that's good that you got a grade A quality rep for your first rep. My first rep is in a drawer somewhere

waiting for my mario paci straps from TCstraps! The 048 is a great size for me so i'm very happy with it. Anything else would be too too big.

the thing's got some heft to it too!

my only problem with it is i can't tell time. i bring my wrist up to check time, get distracted with the "oooo this watch looks nice on my wrist" - forget that i was supposed to check time, and continue on my merry way.

It's good to have you here. I've been eyeing a black seal lately... We love pics,
Care to share??

 

[Nottsman]

Black Seal is one of the more accurate reps of Panerai.

Very attractive simple design which I find very appealing.
It is also a slimmer watch than the Luminor series and so it doesn't seem as large on my 6.75 inch wrist even though it is 45mm diameter.

The newer 183h (or 183g) with the working Swan neck regulator in Swiss Unitas handwind movement would be the one to go for if youre aiming high.

The photo below shows the 183h displayback with the correct cote de geneve bridges as the gen.

My photo skills and digicam are unfortunately shite, so I am posting a couple of pics here from EL's photoalbum which do the watch more justice than I could.....

I don't think you would be disappointed at all with the look and quality of this rep


Display back of 183h rep......correct bridges

Front view of 183h......... note that 'Panerai' is on lower half of dial as compared to 183g which has 'Black Seal' in that position.

Cheers
