Postman Just Delivered My 177L- Pics Included

- Start date
The 177L is going to be my first rep (if it ever arrives). I ordered it from Lay as well on the 19th and have only gotten runarounds regarding status. He doesn't reply to my emails, but sometimes I can catch him on his Live Chat. But again, all he tells me is "tomorrow". It's now been 10 days... All I want is an honest status update so I can stop thinking that I got screwed by Lay -> "I got Laid".
Sorry to hear that... I am sure that you will eventually get the watch and when you do, you will be very happy with it. Some experienced pam afficionados are calling it the most accurate titanium pam rep of all time (coming from a gen 177H owner, who also had purchased some LH models over the years). Whether that is accurate or not, I cannot personally say as I have never owned a gen pam, or an LH model, but after reading many comments on several rep blog sites, the consensus among the hard-core pam rep fans is that this 177L is off the charts in terms of value. So, you picked one hell of a good rep for your first purchase.
I unfortunately had a similar experience with Lay on a Rolex Pro Hunter Submariner. Ordered it, no updates forever (and I am the patient, relaxed type so I did not bother him about it). After a month, I finally emailed nicely just saying "hey, just curious about the status". Lay said the watch was no longer available. That information would have been nice to know within the first two weeks of ordering it. If I would not have emailed him to inquire I suspect I would still be waiting for the watch. On the plus side, Lay did a paypal refund to me the same day I requested it, so Lay is very honest. I know many have had great experiences with Lay and perhaps I was just unlucky. But, I have not ordered from him since that experience.
ugoderosa, thanks for the reply.
I did quite a bit of reading before deciding to go with the 177. I wanted my first rep to be the "best" quality so that I come back for more and more reps! I actually ordered 2 watches from Lay (as my first order), and already have 3 more watches picked for my next order. It's too bad Lay is dropping the ball... I really like his website/YouTube videos, etc. but I just don't like being given the runaround - I just want the truth.
When I chatted with Lay yesterday, he promised 10 times that he would have an email to me within 24 hours regarding status - it has since passed that... I'll give him another couple days, and if nothing, I will cancel the order and go with Josh.

Got my QC pics today :aneki: I guess I'll be getting my 177 after all! I think the biggest problem with reps is that it is just too exciting....
Ordered mine on the 14th and it arrived today, the 30th.
This is the best watch I have ever had without mods. I was surprised by the quality and feel of the watch. The lume is kick-ass.
Here some pics to show crown, and dial. Comparison shot is between a wm9LV and the 177L

have ordered a couple of watches from josh (5 to be exact) and haven't had any problems whatsoever. =)
Dont worry Lay will keep to his word, I have ordered a PAM 177 too and Lay has taken his time on this one, I can only imagine that he has been inundated with orders for this stunning rep which is why he hasn't responded as he usally does. It may be a case of demand out stripping supply hence the delay.

Received my 177L today from Lay at Replicamake, absolutely fantastic watch and great service from Lay, this is the first time I have used him and honestly can't fault him.
EMS shipping took nearly 3 times longer than normal, but that's to be expected this time of year.

Guys does anyone know what's the lug size of the buckle which comes with this 177 ...
Is it 22 mm ?? I ordered one from Lay and I'm looking for a replacement strap but want to use the buckle which comes with it.

Thanks, maybe I wasn't very clear, sorry about that, ...
I know that it's 24mm, but what I meant is , is the strap tapered to 22mm at buckle end ?
