Well the 233 is still away getting fixed, by all accounts it's still 2 months off being back with me

But as usual i couldn't stay angry at Panerai for long, so bought a nice new 177, after reading a few threads here i know it's just a lump of wood with a generic movement, but i like it

B. Doggy · 16 September 2009, 08:17 AM

LOVE it! I didn't know something went awry with the 233? Oh, and that "lump of wood" guy?!?! I will never understand why people make posts like that...unbelievable!

mfer · 16 September 2009, 10:03 AM

WHAT! You got a 177! I thought you were done! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, the dark side compels you!!!!!!

Looks great Ryan!

Psmith · 16 September 2009, 12:24 PM

Congrats Ryan

But does it look as good as this...?

Cheers

Nica64 · 16 September 2009, 12:27 PM

Very nice Ryan!! and welcome back

TswaneNguni · 16 September 2009, 01:08 PM

Welcome back and congrats on the new one !!

Love the manual winding PAMs !!

argee1977 · 16 September 2009, 05:56 PM

Yeah, i never really left, but just being without the 233 made me think about just stopping looking at stuff until it came back, but i didn't manage too long

Trurolexer · 16 September 2009, 08:23 PM

Huge Congrats Ryan!!!

JF23 · 16 September 2009, 10:01 PM

Nice piece Ryan...Hope all is well.

drtooth73 · 16 September 2009, 10:41 PM

TRF was not the same without you, RG!
Glad you are back with another watch.

argee1977 · 16 September 2009, 10:47 PM

To be honest i never left, i just couldn't get on here until yesterday, something about a DDOS strike and my IP being banned, it wasn't me, honest

Ear Pain · 16 September 2009, 11:05 PM

Lovely timepiece you have there Sir......

argee1977 · 17 September 2009, 04:08 AM

Well it looks great, there are a couple of things that i'm not too happy with, one is the winding, on a 233 it's simple and easy, on a 177 it's a bit more of a chore as you only seem to get a couple of clicks due to the crown guard. The other thing, well all my Panerai straps don't really fit well now, the difference between the 1950s and luminor case means i'm now between holes on all of the OP straps

Yeah, the first time I wound my 111, I was like WTH!!!!

You get used to it and it isn't hard. I use my index finger below to keep tension on the crown while I wind it. It doesn't kick back as much if that makes sense.

argee1977 · 17 September 2009, 07:37 AM

To be honest it might just be a stop gap until the 233 comes back, but it's got a couple of months to grow on me and i do love the plain look, i would say the dial is even better than the 233 for me, the way a PAM should look

GBJIV · 17 September 2009, 03:34 PM

177 is my first PAM... Great choice!

niels74 · 17 September 2009, 09:37 PM

nice , congrats ... back to saving up for the AP now huh ... :-)

WatchSnob · 17 September 2009, 10:34 PM

Got my 233 back finally the other day.
It had been gone since March!!!

It is now up for trade!!! I am looking for a J 243, 279 & Base model with logo.

Ryan your watch should be back soon! They finally got the parts they have been waiting and waiting for.

VazLube · 18 September 2009, 03:45 AM

Ryan, dude! Nice new addition to the collection!

argee1977 · 19 September 2010, 12:13 AM

Well, after a year away from Panerai it looks like i'm getting another one, and it also looks like i'm buying back the exact same 177

MikeJaye · 19 September 2010, 02:57 AM

Nice one! I'm doing the same as you...18months since my last pam and jumping back in with hopefully a 111, just a bit different to the two 112's I've had :)

argee1977 · 19 September 2010, 04:25 AM

This one's done the rounds for a year, there's been 3 owners inbetween me selling and buying it back, but it's coming home
