For the past six months I have been working on the Pam Guide. It was a dark, very tough, and long road.

For those who are unaware of this project. It is, in short, a website hooked to a massive database which contains every rep Panerai. On the website you can filter down by attributes to find a Panerai to your liking. Click on a Panerai for its details.

While doing this I neglected both my family and my job for this. But looking back it was worth it!

I want to thank Ale for letting me use his Excel sheet. Without this I would not have been able to accomplish this. And of course you guys, for the kind words that kept me going.

If you have any ideas or questions regarding the Pamguide, feel free to post them here. Feedback is appreciated.

Also consider a donation to keep this bad boy alive. Even it's just a dollar or two. It's running on a very expensive dedicated server...

Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby present THE PAMGUIDE!


Note:
The Pamguide is gets updated when Ale's Excel sheet gets updated. So it is possible that the Pamguide does not contain yesterday's released PAMs.

Dear friends


PAMGUIDE Web is a product created by Mark, spending hundreds of hours of hard work, with the help of my PAM GUIDE Excel (in agreement with me) to serve the PAM community, just like the Reference PAM GUIDE and other related threads.

I can assure you that there is absolutely no profiteering involved.


I know that the hosting part seems a bit strange, but Mark had to made decisions based on technical grounds as well as to protect intellectual property.


Just to clarify the situation

I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to Mark for this nice job

Congrats Mark
ALE

Yes, of course. You did a good job.
What I would change, is - I wouldn't post pictures from dealers website, plenty of great pics on Net, and I would add "Enlarge" feature, that people can see bigger pictures.

Did you
A) even read my post?
B) even viewed my website?

Great work, markiemark.
Unfortunately, there will be always bozos who are not able to appreciate the hard work of others.
Instead, the only thing they can, is 'critisize' others !
Keep on with the good work and thanks for sharing with the community.

Good work and design!

I have a question though, this is a rep–info site correct? because the photo looks pretty high end (gen) to me, do you want it to be a site provide detail info of replica watch of PAM? (in other words, like a rep version of paneraisti.com or paneraisource.com?)

I would suggest the following:
1. Take out the rep photo with watermarks, I think you can find plenty good rep photos around.

2. If you really want to have a consistent look, I will take out some of the white background because most photos have solid black background

3. Ask ALE if he is willing to share his sheet so you can copy + paste it (with better typographic treatment of course)

4. I will design a good logo for your "PAMGUIDE" for branding purpose. You already did a decent job in terms of the layout, why not design a logo?

5. sadly, not everyone will appreciate, but I really do think this is a very good start for a 1.0 version!!! Keep up the good work!

Thanks again, looking forward for your revision!

1. I used Ale's pictures and run a Photoshop script to cut the green/yellow background. It is a lot of work adding pic by pic.

2. The ones with a white background are indeed buggering me. But I couldnt find those with a black background.

3.???

4. I think the logo is good for now, but if you come up with somthing nice, sure!

5. This is indeed 1.0, to check how people like it. But I need to host this funded by me and you guys donations or there will be no 2.0....

Thank you

Your just mean and ungrateful at best and your post most of the time are laughable. But this one is just crap!
And as for "what you would change" you didn't put in this effort so you have nothing to change. Sometimes not giving your opinion could do a world of good.

EDIT: I was so bothered I forgot to say great effort. Thanks it's awesome

Sent from my iPad cause I'm to lazy to sit at a computer.
