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

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

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

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

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.

While not looking like a PAM, it does look an awful lot like an IWC Big Pilot. Which I am certain it was made to replicate.

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.

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

Sauer Grapes · 12-10-2009, 09:48 PM

Interesting... different strokes I guess.

s15driftking · 12-11-2009, 05:55 AM

I think Panerai tries to creat new versions out of old characteristics. blah

Sauer Grapes · 12-11-2009, 11:16 AM

It looks a lot like a getat 47mm auto pilots watch as well, which I assumed was a panerai homage but I could be wrong. Www.siswatch727.com

Sauer Grapes · 12-11-2009, 11:18 AM

Not a bad looking watch though.

My comparison was not at what you said, but what Thrak said. Sorry for the confusion.

I have two Rolex watches. I've posted pics of my prized possession here a few times.

My daily is a Black Sub Date. My most prized possession on earth (as I don't yet have children lol) is my early 70's 1655 Explorer II.

Sauer Grapes · 12-14-2009, 08:47 PM

My Getat arrived today (kind of). It's at the PO waiting to be picked up during business hours. I'll get it Thursday.

T.G · 12-14-2009, 09:20 PM

Even does alarms.

Got it for free too.

Actually, way more accurate than the pieces discussed in the thread.

Out of curiosity, do you ever have anything positive to say about anything that someone else has? Your act is tired bro. Have a Merry Christmas.
