Greg was right but I want this on a croc strap

I've got the automatic version of that one the PAM104 came with a nice black crocodile strap and have since bought a few more straps through this web site http://www.watchobsession.co.uk The only problem with it is the case appears to scratch quite easily.

Is it a polished or brushed case? My Marina is brushed with brown croc strap. It came with the rubber strap for diving but I haven't used it.

I believe Ian was mentioning about a magic cloth which takes scratches out of watch cases.

I have the Pam 025
Comes with the Pear Wood Box
Rubber Strap
Panerai Branded Nato Divers Strap
Screwdriver

I have various straps including the ludicrously expensive stainless steel at £2000 :shock:

Hamilton and Inches in Edinburgh are the local dealers
Ask for Stephen Paterson (Dir) , mention my name and you might get a festive discount.

The CAPE COD Polishing cloths for getting rid of swirlies and light scratches are available on ebay /sites such as the one below:-

Agreed.
Most of them cost more than a four bedroom detached in Comiston

A friend of mine was round to dinner last night wearing an AP Royal Oak Diver...........suggested it was more valuable than his 2004 SL55 AMG :damnfunny

It's called "Flipping" in the trade.
Genuine new stainless models from AD's find their way into the market place.......and you can guess the rest!

Which marketplace is that? All of the usual internet suspects are still selling their brand new, boxed, all seals intact jobs for less than £7k .. so I'm stunned that anyone would pay £9k.

Maybe there's no internet in this marketplace of which you speak :)
