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

Clever, very clever!

Teaser

Manual wind FTW!!!!

Is that a Getat PAM homage? Jackson Tse?

s15driftking · 12-10-2009, 09:02 PM

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.

Sauer Grapes · 12-10-2009, 09:05 PM

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.

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

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!

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.
