UPDATE

  • Perfect Clones & Trusty Time removed as dealer, because they are not a TD on every forum. Puretime is now added as dealer.
  • Angus (Puretime) is making a list for me with PAMs that are missing. When it is finished I will add the missing PAMs. Everytime a new PAM comes out, Angus will notify me and I will add.
  • I added a compare functionality, so now you are able to compare PAMs!

That's all folks! Please let me know if you have any ideas/improvements :)

This is awesome! Suggestion: filter by super reps only. I can see having price comparison being very useful too, but that's just pushing it.

Filtering by super, or classification should be possible. Filtering by price not, since all dealers have different prices...

This sounds interesting, but for whatever reason I cannot seem to get access to it.

Is the server down?

Thanks,
Cee

Hmmmm, seems like a conflict in interests to have TDs sponsor this site. Just my 2 cents besides it seems to be down.....

Sometimes it is very slow. Usually when you visit it for the first time. It is because there's a lot of data.

I'm still working on it!

SERVER IS DOWN!

F#cking amateurs. I will try to move to another server with faster servers (SSD, more bandwith) and buy CDN...

Sorry guys!

It turned out that I accidentally did over 4.000 requests to the database, that killed it. Rebooting the SQL server did the trick.
I also split up all the PAMs into several pages to increase overall speed.

I understand your point regarding TD's. Not every TD was interested and some did not even reply to my emails...

Does DSN have a website? Does anyone has his email address?

Thank you for your understanding...

David has a website and he is also a TD here, you can get his email in his section here or any of the flora. In the event you can't find it here it is: [email protected]

BTW tried the site again and got the same results " The requested document was not found on this server. ". If I may make a suggestion to you, this coming from a guy with no vested interest in anything but the love of the hobby. Earlier in the thread the Boss made you a very gratuitous offer, and you declined it. I really think you might want to reconsider this, I think it would do you, RWI and the community a great deal of good. I'd like to think that I am pretty well respected in the PAM rep community and if you as around you'll be told I am honest to a fault and willing to help anyone in need and on many occasions I do work at no charge for the sake of helping others and not for the money. That said my watches can only be purchased directly from me on one forum and that is RWI. I pay for the opportunity to sell my watches here like every other SV, but what drew me to this forum even though it was the last rep forum I joined only a few years ago, and being a member of other rep flora since 2006 was it's staff. Not all forums are the same even though on the surface they may seem to be, with the same identical threads by the same members on all of them. The difference is it's staff members the people that make the forum what it is behind the scenes. The people here are good honest lovers of the hobby, no ego maniacs here! When the Boss tell you none of your hard work will be jeopardized you can bet on the fact that it won't. Seems you need the bandwidth and you've been offered it. Take some time, think about it with an open and calm mind, contact the Boss and talk about it with him, these guys are listeners not guys out to screw anyone over. Remember TD have a vested interest and a stake in the game, of course if your TD sponsors besides supplying you with bandwidth are also paying you for your hard work and service and you did this to reap a profit then you have that choice to choose and plug those who pay you the most. However, if you did it for the satisfaction, recognition and self worth of improving the knowledge of the community then it is best to go where there is only the best intentions of the hobby at heart and no profiteering involved.

I am usually a man of few words and my cup runneth over on this post, but it is just my honest take on the whole thing. I've seen what you did and it took a lot of passion, many many hours and tons of hard work understood and appreciated, but to get it out to the masses your going to need more than what you have now.

I wish you all the best and let me take the time to thank you and ALE, for his contribution, on putting out a great resource for the betterment of the community!

I think I've said enough.... Best of luck in your endever.......

Respectfully Marlin

Hey guys, try reloading it with cache refreshed. Ctrl+f5 for Internet Explorer and cmd+shift+R on the Mac.

I am doing this because I am a Panerai fan and because I want to serve the community. No profereering involved.
I apologize but I cannot host elsewhere, because of the used code (programmers will understand this). Also because of the special needs for my platform.

I got things pretty much covered now, so no worries fellas!

Thanks!

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

Thank you ALE for the clarification and kind words.

For those who received an error, that is fixed now. It was because it used the old RWI url-redirect to the Pamguide website. Thanks for reporting!
