Flavor, The black and white shot is great. Something about the Ingy works in B&W. Seems natural.
Also, are you going to do preventive maintenance on the bracelet after the several reports on it failing?

Bought a house in Ft. Worth. I will be in Paris till Summer and then moving back to States. Been in Paris almost 4 years and have loved every day - well maybe not the drizzelly winters.

Christmas is good for me this year. I have replaced my S3 pro 35mm Digital Camera that was stolen from me this Summer. I also bought the Nikon 12-24mm F4 Wide zoom for my travel and landscape photography I do and also a Nikon 70-200 zoom to round out what was stolen. It feels good to be back in business.
Also received 3 watches from members that look pretty good. I will have to wait to get back to Paris to take pics as all my closeup lenses are there. The PAM 212 looks sweet and the IWC chronograph (black face panda) with Hirsch strap is unbelievable. But the IWC Aquatimer is not what I thought it was. Faux subdials and bracelet is the pits. Probably look better on a strap anyway but I hate faux dials. Oh well, 2 out of 3 is not bad.
When I get home Neil will have sent me my new IWC GST SS from Scotland. Looking forward to that and maybe an after holiday GTG at Cafe Select.
Happy Holidays.

I wonder if it is a just major holiday internet week? Band width is being tapped by millions home for the holiday going on line resulting in some slow periods.

My first rep was a PAM 111h. I am wearing it now with a brand new BOB Marino Gator for Panerai Aubergine Brown 24/24 with a very nice BOB 24mm PV Buckle.
It is a classic, it looks better when you actually see it and it wears well with everything. Get it.

(PS - Pugwash - the 24mm Bob PV buckle is fantastic. Best I have ever seen.)
Secret society - hmm - isolated groups across the globe, everyone has an alias - operating in groups of 2 or 3 - secret meetings at specificed locations... Hmmmmm

Great story. I would suppose there is a good chance that we pass members when looking in watch stores. Never know. We should develope a secret handshake.

Richard, That is funny. I relate because I used to shovel snow when I was a kid for money then head to the drug store to buy SciFi books when I was in 5th grade. I had not thought of that in years.

Nice V. I have had a white faced PAM on my wish list all year but have not gotten one yet. I can not decide what model I like the best. The model you have here is simple and I think that it is now my favorite but of couse I am looking at a gen dial so I will probably be very disappointed. What to do - what to do.
Can you do a lum shot of the tritium for us?

I travel a lot in Europe and some in Asia. Frankly, I don't want to take the risk. I have seen multiple lanes for customs and some are being very strict and some don't even look at you. Why take the chance? I usually just travel with my PO. But that is just my opinion.
Usil
I got a new camera waiting for me in the US and I will take a decent picture of this as soon as possible so you guys can get a clear view of it. I hope it is not too bad a rep. I wll let you know.

Helium valve is fake - don't try to take it off.
Bracelet, can't remember and not near my PO to check. Someone here will help you.
And, welcome - nice purchase. Let's see the pictures.

The blending of watch to strap or bracelet is a highly personal choice. Each complements the other and when perfectly done creates something better than sum of the individual elements (in the mind of the owner). What I like may not be what you like.
I am not sure the point of this poll but then I don't get it when people ask 'which watch would you buy' to help them make a choice.

I used to fly planes by wire when I was younger. RC was way too expensive. Then these came along and it redefines the sport:
More Jets - WOW
Hugh RC Jet with cockpit camera
And more with spills ...

My last purchase surprised me. The Omega Railmaster XXL has been taking a lot of wrist time. I originally bought it to experience a 49mm watch and it has turned out to be a great purchase.
