There's two ways you could've dealt with it..

You could've lost your shit & sent snotty emails which you know gets you no further forward
Or you could've been cool & the gang & got on with it which sounds like what you did fella

At least it's 2 good things to look forward to I suppose

Yeah that's right, I chose the second. You have to keep a good relationship with your TD especially if you are planning on buying more. Being funny with them will only delay the situation even more.

I've lost 2reps in my younger days either pissed up or scrapping in town with idiots that cause shit with anybody. Glad they were just reps. I'd be devastated if I lost my gen omega seamaster!

@Sparky28 have you found the offer on the KW Pam promotion from toro yet? It's in the panerai section in the search function.

Can I ask, is V6F widely considered to make the best Panerai reps?

Wait, I'm confused. Is VSF different from V6F ? I think I meant to ask about VSF.

VSF is one of the latest factories but along with XF, they are just extensions of what was previously known as V6F and before that KW factory. They are makers of some good Panerai reps. Best would depend on what model we are talking about.

IMG_3412.JPG I find the factory unique in that it builds what one might call "VSF in house movements"! It's an interesting step, and maybe this is a glimpse of the future, I don't know....... time will tell just how well the movements hold up. I'd like to see them push further on R&D and make power reserves actually function, have crown functions replicate original movements etc..... I think they've made huge steps, pretty gutsy, but I'd still like to see them push things further....
And for the response to the OP, love my 441, beautiful.....

SF and JF have already released reps that use a movement which copies the gen P.9000 functions.

They have, but the P.9000 doesn't have power reserve or GMT function, does it??
Click to expand...

Yes, there is no working power reserve gauge function nor a 12-hour GMT (at least be accurate, there is already an existing 24-hour GMT function in the current P.9001 movement). But these recent incremental improvements give me hope. :)

Absolutely!!!! I couldn't agree more, the future is looking bright, great to see the factories making bolder moves than ever before....

Thanks for your comments guys. I'm not dying ever closer to my PAM purchase as I gather more info.
