PAM 253 price differences question

[ihalatch]

Hi Guys,
Sorry, I'm probably a bit ignorant but what's the difference between Jay's http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1697 and Andrew's http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?m ... cts_id=982 except the price a US$98 difference. I'm looking for Panerai PAM 253. Who's offering the best replica. Thank you.
Cheers

Andrew's watch has a sapphire crystal instead of Jay's mineral crystal. Also, Andrew's watch has the more correct, fatter hour markers. So, that's what you get for the ~$100 difference in price -- better dial and better crystal.

Try emailing Andrew and asking if he has it available. He only had the mineral when I asked about a month ago.
