Sorry for the dumb/repetitive questions, but I'm lost when it comes to panerai...

Found this at timeshops for $216. Is this a good rep? Anybody have one? Would you buy it? Is there something better, now or coming soon?

If you have something similar in CONUS you'd sell, I'm looking...

What are the issues with this one?

I've got the fever, I want a pam sub yesterday, but will try to hold off for something substantially better...

I have it. I love mine but the bezel steel markers are to big and not polished compared to gen. Also the date wheel I heard was a little wrong. Looks good to me.
I got mine from Trevor.

The bezel markers are to big, the second hand sub dial is the wrong size, crystal cyclops and date wheel are wrong. Few other things.. DSN makes great subs. There are issues as well just not as glaring.

I've got the 024D from DSN and it's been the only thing I've worn for the last 4 months. The only time I wore a different PAM was to get my 024 fixed.

Wait for the upcomming 243 and 305.

I already have the 243 (same that Snpr9696 ) and it's OK. NOt perfect but OK. So I'm going for the 305 for sure.

Hi mate, the DW seems to be wrong.
I'm also waiting for the new version, perhaps next month :)

I REALLY hope the new version 243 doesn't flop. I haven't seen much hub-bub about the 243 since Angus posted a couple threads on the RG about the 305.
