Let me just start by saying thank you to Andrew. Despite being halfway around the world he always responded to my emails in a matter of hours (sometimes minutes) and went above and beyond the normal call to duty to ensure that I was happy with the watch I purchased from him. I could not be more impressed with the service - all that hard work to please a customer who only purchased 1 medium-priced watch - WOW.

There was a small complication with the first PAM 212 that I received from him, so he told me to send it back immediately and he would replace it - no questions asked. I was so impressed with his concern for the customers' satisfaction. About 6 business days later, I received a package from him and adrenaline flooded my body because I knew the watch I was about to adorn would quickly become my favorite. He was even kind enough to upgrade the strap and include a deployant clasp for no additional charge.

The PAM 212 with Saphire AR coating and new Asian 7750 movement is by my standards perfect. The face, the dial, the crystal, the transparent back and pendulum, and especially the crown gaurd (fits perfectly with the body and buttons) - all first rate. I could not be happier with this purchase and I haven't taken the watch off my wrist for longer than 5 minutes since I received it (only to take the pictures)

I think I got most angles, but feel free to PM me if you want some more detailed pictures . Sorry the watch is a little dirty, anything that looks like a scratch is just dirt or oil from my hands - although I am sure it is only a matter of time until this gets scratched because I know it is going to have a lot of wrist time

Great first post. You picked a great seller and a beautiful watch. Andrew has helped me with a problem watch in the past too. I recommend him whenever I can. Wear it proud.

thank you, I have a number of reps (pams/B&R/breitling) and this one really stands above the rest in my eyes.

I too will definitely recommend Andrew whenever possible. I just wish dealers in all walks of business were as kind and caring as those I've encountered so far in the replica watch trade.

I have always been amazed at the level of service found in the dealers on this site. I hope I don't offend anybody, but if you think about it, with the goods they are selling they really don't have to be as helpful as they are. I mean, if they're not, who are you going to complain to?

Andrew has provided me great service too. Small clasp issue which he was quick to rectify.

Cheers!

One side of the band is mounted backwards (inside out).......you are not seeing things. Love the watch too. It is one of my favs in my collection. Thanks for the pics :D

Very nice watch.

It does have the 253 caseback on it by the way. But the current rep 212 caseback isn't that accurate to the gen either so it's a toss up.

Yea I thought that was an easy one. But you do have ALOT of panerai models to keep up to date on! :twisted:

Too bad they don't have automatic and serials engraved on the current 212 caseback.

haha, normally i am very detail oriented but I am so happy to finally receive my flyback that I guess I overlooked the band issue. I must admit, though, I was curious why it only said panerai on one side while the other was blank . . . then I got to thinking about my friend's gen 111H rubber band, which I belive only says panerai on one side and nothing on the other - I am probably wrong though.

Alas, thanks for pointing that out, I flipped the band and now all is well.
