Best Panerai Homage? (Part 2)

[TicTocTach]

Chinese New Year is nearly upon us (starts Feb. 3), and I bet Getat and a bunch of others have shut down for the duration. I believe the duration is the time from the new moon to the full moon, or about 15 days.

It being Chinese New Years wouldn't really be enough to justify taking the site offline IMHO. Perhaps a notice on the site regarding a delay in orders, but regardless the site seems to be back up for me (as of 01/30/11 3:38pm EST).

Now I must wait for my red envelopes

Is it me or Getat's site seems to be down (as of 01/30/11 11:31am EST)?
I was finally ready to place my order and now this happens......

That tends to happen every now and then. No idea why. By the way, don't expect your order to ship for a while. CNY is a huge thing over there.

If anyone knows how to make the PAM sandwich dials, can you please PM me, thanks.

Thanks Clair! I completely understand the platform thing - have you seen the guides and tutorials on HF about getting these movements to work in a 6497 case? The only way I was ever going to own a watch like this was by having someone else build it - waaay too much DIY skill needed for me. I already find 6497s to be horrid little things and those are drop-in I can't wear 47mm so I need the mini-fiddy case. In fact I'm really hoping that the fiddy case form doesn't change how it sits on the wrist from a regular 44mm luminor, as that one is just on the edge for me. If it looks bigger, i'm screwed and the watch will have to go right back into sale :')

Lovely watch GuySie, I'm sure you will love it. Imo the mini fiddy case do appear a bit bigger than the luminor, however this is just very very minor. And most likely a illusion do to it wears a bit flatter than the lumi. I'm sure it will fit and the case is a lot different from the standard lumi, looks much more elegant.

And believe me it's not close being as big as the 47mm, it is huge in comparision Still I thought the 47mm was very comfortable on my 6 1/4inch wrist (picture under), I might have to order another one



Don't forget to put some pics up when you get ut

The guys over at homage forum have got all kinds of DIY and tutorials up on that. Just google them, you can't link to them from here.

Hoping for the best! and the elegance is exactly what I'm shooting for with the minifiddy case versus the luminor I have.

Looking for some opinions on the best available pvd 44 luminor cased homage. I've read here that joa and davidsen are better quality, but I don't know if they work with pvd cases. Also prefer matt pvd, not polished like some of the ones by jackson. Also, can anyone confirm the contact info for davidsen/dsn?

Some of my review is that it has been very hard to obtain information about the watch size, body size, and the wrist wrist shot pictures. This is good or not for me. Some watches really beautiful and good looking. They are simple but fantastic.
