Ruby's new 36

[JOEJOEJOE]

So the sum of it is, it seems like Ruby's 36 is a good purchase, especially at 220 bucks, and that the only real obvious mod needed are reluming and better strap?

Do I have it right? :?

I'm assuming that Ruby's 36 NOT being real Ti case is just a rumor, right?

:shock:

It is a super good purchase for the price. You get nice thick TI crown with most of the detail right front and back & even the movement. Someone has mentioned that a few of the "L" dials were produced for 036 models, but I think it's still a flaw... There is a discussion regarding rep Pam 036 on paneristi.com... it's been called out... and it wasn't just because of the L dial, but later it was mentioned that L dial is their way of knowing for sure.

I really like Ruby's 036 and all the nice features it comes with it, but the reason I am not making the purchase is that there aren't many of these produced... only 300 I believe. Not as believable overall... to me anyway.
I couldn't pull off something like this (not that I am trying to fool people... I'd rather they don't question me though when they see it)

So, I'm thinking that it's one of the most accurate reps (-the T dial) out of the box? I'm not crazy about the superlume anyway, especially given that the gen is 9 years old now and will NOT have good lume by now.

What do you all think?

Assuming there is no "L" dial 036 produced- (well I haven't seen one at least) - the lume should be weak by now... I was told that Tritec should only last about 10 years. I actually think the most accurate TI Panerai is 061 - with the closed caseback - this rep, however, does not come with the thick crown.

036 should not have A/R, and should have "T" dial. CG pin looks a bit too small too... ok I am nitpicking now... but these are some of the flaws of the watch.

In my opinion, it's a great value - 100% TI, Thick crown, Reliable Swiss movement, correct caseback for low $200s- & great-looking watch. Not neccessarily the most accurate. It's up there though on the list though. Certainly the thick TI crown is probably the most attractive feature of this watch.

STRAPS FOR 36

Can someone post pics of their watches with straps? I'm on the verge of purchasing one, but with the tobacco dial, I'm not sure which type of strap would look best?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Scroll up and look at dvburns' pic. That's a GeF Bersagliere Brusciato on there. Great strap and it looks great with the brown dial, IMO.

Here's one from nred1:

Here's JOEJOEJOE's 061 on black gator (not an 036, but same color dial):

Navigater's 036 on the rep strap:

Taka's first gen 036 (darker brown dial), I really like how the MP XI tan ambra looks against the Ti case:

LumpyOne's Davidsen 036, not sure what strap it is, but I like it!

 

[turbogt]

Just what I needed!!! Definetly the last one and the one before are the best!

Thanks Hooli!

Cheers!
