Im sure it is but the watch itself doesn't change, how many times do we need to see it?

What does the airport in Warwick, RI have to do with your watch?

Is that a Getat PAM homage? Jackson Tse?

s15driftking 12-10-2009 09:02 PM

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
Robert Uhren, very similar to a lot of the U-boats out there. A skosh different in styling. almost an homage.


BTW i am repulsed by Panerai watches, i wouldn't be caught dead wearing one.

Cool. Why don't you like the marina militare homages?

are you referrring to the panerai styled ones? I just cannot stand Panerais design elements. Simply terrible.

Interesting... different strokes I guess.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
I think Panerai tries to creat new versions out of old characteristics. blah

Seriously? That Uhren has some Panerai Radiomir design cues... :confused:



WorldOfWatches has the Orange and Black Monsters for $139 shipped. :D

Will also get a watchadoo bracelet for it, which looks awesome!

Why does Robert Uhren use an Asian 6497??

And Panerai's are not everyone's cup of tea. I for one love em. They are classic beauty's. I am not a big fan of the past 2 years, but most everything else I am.

Maybe just the crown, other than that I would say there is zero likeness, just my honest opinion.

The crystal, the casing, the "style" and color schemes/fonts are completely different in my eyes, not to mention the fact that i am completely redoing to band.

I could not disagree more! I mean, other than the winding knob, the backglass, the casing, the face, the hands, the movement and the strap, there is absolutely NO resemblance to any PAM homage I have ever seen. :r
