Great looking combo. Thanks for sharing.

If I can get myself one of these then I can sell off one of my smaller strap cases. I've only seen these FS a few times in the past and they go very quickly, so you have to act fast when you see one.

I didn't know Panerai was making a rectangular version.

Me likes!

Lemme know.

That looks great. It reminds me of my Anonimo Polluce. Any chance on getting some 22mm buckles done in that finish? I would be interested on getting a few of those.

I wonder what they use for lubricants...... They are lucky that customs didn't catch that or they would be doing DNA testing on 1 billion people to find that one worker.

Congrats! Great to see the "old man" is still kicking around. It's where I first got scolded by TTK and it's been the same ever since.

A lot depends on your taste, what is your taste? If you like "tool" watches I would recommend these brands: Enzo Bathys Ocean 7 Oris Glycine Ball Tissot You can get new watches for the price you are looking for. If you want a genuine, but 2nd hand, check out all these watch forums: Time Zone Watch U Seek They have a great selection of 2nd hand watches in the price range you are looking at. What I might buy for that price and what you may buy are different things or they could be the same thing.

I think #'s 7 & 9 have been discussed recently in the admin section, especially #9.

I reported the guy on TZ, it looks like this guy has a whole 1 post there, so it just screams scam.

Here's a PT offer for a HBB ceramic bezel: PT's HBB Bezel Here's one one Time Zone FS: TX Offer for HBB Bezel Now, does anyone see anything familiar about these offers. I can give you a hint it's not the $500 difference in price. So, this dude on TZ, does he need busted?

This must be the new upscale prices they are offering after the HBB ceramic line, I guess it's all about profits. Yes, if you can afford to pay ~$900K for a rep, then $30 shipping would be a drop in the bucket (or bathtub).

Great watches and pictures! Thanks for sharing.

All day long when I wear them. I find myself playing with my manual wind watches a lot when I wear them and wind them a lot too. As mentioned earlier, there's nothing like manually winding a watch, it's a great feeling.

Wow, nice to see someone support the forum this way! I also wanted to thank TT for such a great gesture and offering up his nice watches.

So, were you tempted to bid her a nice day and walk out wearing the watch? I'm willing to bet there were cameras all over you and maybe a sniper too. Great story, too bad you didn't have a camera to document this moment.

~$4000

I got the same message. I guess I'm a little too late. On a side note I live about 2 hours from Vancouver, so I guess I could make a trip and see this watch is person, what was the price?

You are a better watch smith than I am, when I try to put those stupid movement brackets back in I need a pair of tweezers, magnet and a glass of water (keeps my mouth moist while I cuss a lot). Nice work and it's great your screwdrivers came in handy.

Now that looks like a vintage "tool" watch. Nice work, hopefully you don't cut yourself on some of those ragged edges.

My collection is mostly divers, but I do have a few aviation models mixed in too. I'm not sure where the Panerai fit in because they are of dive heritage, but don't really meet the criteria that most think a diver needs, so I will just call them a socialite group. Here's my current collection in no real order: PAM090 PAM111 Rolex GMT II Omega PO (biggin') Omega X-33 (2nd gen) Oris Carlos Coste Sinn U2 CX Swiss Military 12,000' Bathys Benthic (S-B-R) Bathys 100 Fathoms (black) Breitling Aerospace Casio Pro Trek (PRG80L) (high end stuff) Citizen Ti EcoZilla Aninimo Polluce (black & bronze)

Welcome and thank you for sharing your collection with us. Read around and I'm sure you will soon find your collection growing and your knowledge as well.

Nice copy of a find. It was a cool video though, thanks for sharing.

The dial looks good, nice work. You need to beat up the case a little bit now or were you going for the NOS look?
