This is a project sponsored by Puretime? Am I wrong? Anyway I use only Ale's guide with links to different dealers and most important comments about quality.

Initially it was not a project sponsored by Puretime. I emailed all big TD's if they were interested. Eventually some did not respond, some were not interested, and two tried to BS me and offered me to only add them for a very nice price. It was tempting, but I declined. Now only Puretime is left, he is covering a generous amount of my costs.

The WEB version of the PAMGUIDE does not replace Ale's guide. It is a step you could take prior reading his guide. For example: you're looking for a 44mm panerai with an open caseback and a sandwhich dial. You have no idea what models meet those requirements. So you use the web guide to find it and then Ale's guide to check out the details.

This speeds up your searching process and makes it alot easier. Long story short: instead of scrolling through a couple hundred PAMs, my web version shows the ones that you're looking for.

PAMGUIDE WEB is not a replacement of ALE's PAMGUIDE, and it will never be!

I agree with Mark

Totally complementary

This is the point and the way to follow

Obviously PAMGUIDE Web replaces the Excel PAM GUIDE with a huge advantage

This is awesome! Suggestion: filter by super reps only.

This would be my only request. I think this also should be added to the Excel spreadsheet. I usually check the spreadsheet to see what I want, then off to the PAM guide by ALE to only notice that its not a super rep :( Sad times :p

Just a little suggestion :)

I think the webpage is great! Thanks for contributing to the community!

ALE will add rep classification to the PAMGUIDE Excel sheet. Meanwhile I will develop the functionality, and when ALE is done I will activate the functionality to filter by rep status/classification.

Ive got bug for you though.. (sorry I dont want to seem like Im picking, I really an trying to help you fine tune)

every time I select "add to compare" I lose my filter options back to the full list again... anyway you can rejig to stop this from happening?

As always, great work - keep it up!

No problem ;)

You mean, you select several options and then click on add-to compare underneath a model?

(Im not having this problem...)

Hey Markie,

I promise Im not trying to pick or bug you but your page only loads about 20% of the time for me. I mostly get the white page with a bunch of text that starts with "SQLSTATE[08004] [1040] Too many connections"

If it does load I try to do as much looking as I can in one hit, cause who knows if I'll be able to get back in :p

No worries mate, I know about the problem. I will move hosting when my plan ends. I paid for 1 year, because it was cheqper than per month...
