ONE OF MY FIRST REPS...

[REPLICANT]

Bought this years ago ON EBAY. Can't remember how much I paid for it. My, how far quality has come.....

FIRE AWAY!!

You can use the crown to cut pizza! :mrgreen:

Hmmmmmm............... how to be polite? How to be polite?

 

[REPLICANT]

I can take it.....

At least you don't have to carry a wallet. The crown guard can function as a money clip with all that space.

 

[REPLICANT]

I remember that it came with the "fused links", very inflexible, metal bracelet. Had to switch it out with what you see in the pics...

 

[lan61t]

I bet you wore it proudly at that time,...that's what i did

 

[REPLICANT]

Sure did. Made me feel like a million bucks!

 

[watchace]

Nice attempt at a waffle dial ;-)

Cant begin to imagine how crappy the date mag/font is on that one, on the other hand being a noob back then, that was a nice choice for one of your first pam reps.

 

[REPLICANT]

Dare I even post pics of the Tag "Monaco" that I also purchased around the same time? :shock:

That's not even half as bad as some of the reps I've had. I used to live in New York so for me it was one of the infamous Chinatown reps. Seriously, after a few days your wrists would turn green and the hands would fall off. At least the one you have is still intact.

It does run very well and still keeps great time, but I can't bring myself to wear it anywhere. It just screams REPLICA!!

I'm quick to point out to people that I'm wearing a rep (when it's poorly made), and that the reason I wear it is cuz it keeps good time.
I've got two Panny knockoffs/homage watches that i still wear, and they're worth probably 50 bucks each. And guess what? They keep great time.

But......................as far as that watch is concerned, it does scream "FAKE!!!!!!!!".

Wear it, and punch anyone in the face who tries to bring you down cuz it's a rep.
