:mrgreen:

they're starting to trickle out...imo it looks great with the base and logo and pvd treatment, very catchy! although i've owned 5 different pams i'm not much of a 'risti so didn't even attempt to put my name down for one. i'm content being a fringe panerai owner.

good luck to anyone here with the hope of getting one!

Not I.. I doubt any of the guys elite enough to get one of those would not be hanging around here... we're a lowly bunch :cry:

I must admit that i did indeed submit my name but Im sure they already knew who they were giving them to. I've only chimed in about 3 times on that other site so of course I'm not a deserving member but it was worth a try. I must say I kinda enjoy this site for more different reasons, i just wish there was more activity

you and me akcoop...i know breitlingsource (the much more popular forum admin also runs) has alot of pam owners and admirers but for some reason or another they won't come or post here. such a shame.

and of course w/o sportback it's like the forum lost another horse.

We're a small bunch, but at least it seems like we are recurring small bunch :)

Breitling Source is so busy these days I can't keep up with everything on there! The message I get from a lot of guys on BS is that Paneraisource does not get enough traffic so they don't post here... its funny though, because a lot of guys on BS complain that ever since the forum has gotten bigger, there are more and more personalities that they don't like on it. Problem ultimately is you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Totally agree with the above comments about BS at the moment. I'm nearing 1000 post their now after 2 year. Its fairly grown in that time and it is difficult to keep up with all the posts there. It's a great forum tho with some really nice people that have been around way longer than me but lately there have been a few newbies who seem to want to enforce their opinion and generally don't like the fact that some of the more senior/knowledgable people there.

Cheers

Yup.. any time a forum gets bigger there will always be personalities :(

I like the 360, but not so much that I would go out of my way for one. If I got one, i'd probably flip it.

i think he still replies to pm...he just got busy and fell out of the habit of checking the forums. SB was a huge influence/help for me also.

i like the dialing layout of the 360...i wish the 000 would have luminor panerai on top and the logo on the bottom also. would've been perfect balance.

Yeah he pretty much got bored with the forum, though I think he probably posts elsewhere to cycle watches. He still collects PAM's, AFAIK.
