Forged Carbon Addiction...
I think the title says it all.......anyone has the same disease? After getting the trulli and bee, carbon became an obsession. The lightweight and the comfort! Like nothing I've tried. Leaves me thinking, should I get the grand prix to complete the carbon fever? Any GP goodness is welcomed! In fact, enabling is requested
Gray market vs AD and future servicing
To all the fellow Paneristi - long time lurker. I just experienced something that not sure has been well covered. For my first Pam 422, I purchased this through an AD, no issues, friendly service but got ripped off on price - I did get two free straps, a T-shirt and a key chain. But I overpaid by a good $2000 USD.Now for my newest addition Pam 590, I decided I would go gray market and save a ton of money. So I did and I thought there were no issues and did save a lot of money.Fast forward, it turns out that my 590 crown has problems in not being able to wind fully. Something is a-miss. I sent it back and it was fixed by the gray market seller - actually really fast. Same issue again, so this time I took it to a connection at the AD who had his expert take a peek as a favor. It turns out the 590 has had original Panerai parts substituted with generic servicing parts. My AD said this will be much more common as the MFGs take all of the movements made in house, limit parts distri
Comparing Sub, GMT, SD4K Lugs
Just posted this in another thread but maybe it warrants a new one? Thought I'd see if I could cobble together a reasonably accurate picture comparing the lugs of the SubC, GMT-II Pepsi, and SD4K. It's not perfect but I used several reference points as guides. I do see the difference between the Sub and the GMT, subtle though it is – I think this obsessional, comparative view makes the new, slight taper (more) evident. Seems reasonable to think a Sub update would inherit the new GMT case. Who knows? What's really clear is why the SD4K suits my small wrist so much better than the others. Very apparent difference.Anyway, as a relative newbie, wanted to try to give back to the forum!
Would you sell an AP 26300 ROC white for a RG YM 116655?
As the title states... I'm seriously considering this.... Thanks
