Some pics of the Arktos I received from TWP. Out of the box, best Pam rep I have seen next to Davids.
Double Ar, & correct mag is certainly a welcome fix from the factory. After a thorough polish, it now sits on a TC Gef in cognac.
Is there a better strap...
And to finish, TWP`s sales & service was superb.

Looking for a nice all black shark for it.
Wish Kwong still had those antique shark straps again. :(

That's a great sub...the best so far.
I too think a shark strap on this will be a killer too.

my ultimate Arktos is on its way back from Ziggy :D luckily I still had a Jimmy crown guard and Palpatine crown - I will post pictures once it is in my hands again.

I had him take care of the annoying crownguard that bugged me right from the get go - I can't understand why the makers spend so much time on all the other details and screw up the crown guard beyond believe.

Come on, you know why...
It`s a rep. :lol:
I agree, can be better but it`s 1 nice out of the box Pam.
Now you got me taking my JimFu guard off my 63.

Did you get it relumed or leave it?

I had it totally reworked including the lume - granted out of the box the lume is not bad, but still nowhere near SL

I'm holding out for a rep of the 186 :?
Gotta have that GMT hand if I'm gonna buy another Arktos...

My current 186 is a freakin' horrible rep, but I do love it so. :oops:

looks and feels like the one from the early cheap Panerai replicas, the worst part is the lever that has the wrong shape at the end..
