  2. Hmmm wonder if they fixed the movement problems, ohhhhh look at that flying pig
  3. It was a PPK later but started out in Dr No with a Bereta he did not want to give up, I have just the assesory here for a pic when we get this one. Just look at the condition of this one, please dont make this look too vintage.
  4. A nice thin case on the 5508, will go nice with a tux, and bereta!
  5. It looks very good with the dial that close to the front, still panerai ish but different. I appeciate the work gone into this and i like it.
  6. I agree with this totaly however I dont know if you are trying to be funny but Rolli - Are you reading this stuff? Showering and swimming in "shallow" water at 165ft? Swimming and snorkeling at 330ft? That guide must be for superman. I don't know about you, but being a mere mortal and all, I consider "shallow' water around 3ft and when I swim, along with most of the people I know, we rarely snorkel to depths of 330ft. Itdoes not mean that you can swim down to 165 ft it means that a watch tested to 165ft would be sutable to swim in. If you had read Grans post you may have realised this.
  7. that would be a lot of brocken seconds at 6 daytona's, with that many he might get lucky and get one that works. But is it me or are most of them all the same model?
  8. You may also want to read how COSC check chronometres for certification. Have a look here.
  9. Hi gigatron, if you look areound you will find some posts by ziggy, the resident expert, they are realy worth reading. Firstly you should not need to wind a 2836 or any auto for that matter, the wrist movement alown should wind it just fine, winding may damage the ratchet that allows the rotor to wind the watch. Secondly an error of 10 sec a day is not to bad realy, Do you ware the watch all the time or just here and there, the running of the watch depends on what you do when wearing it, active or not. Also the possition that it sitas in when not being worn, it may gain if laid dial up and loose if laid dial down or vice versa also crown up/down ect. I keep my autos on a winder when i am not wearing them so that they are always at just about the right time and fully wound. try wearing you watch for a full week, set the time first by an atomic clock from the internet and then see if you gain or loose over a week of normal wearing, then you might want to adjust it accoring to that. Atomic time I would just give it gentle rocking movement with my wrist to get it going and then wear it.
  10. Never heard of that movement, hard to find ? is it soo tall that you had to shave out the inner bezel? looks great by the way.

  18. After the English Business Class that started about four months ago, I wanted to find a way to improve my English besides getting the course done as a precondition to fulfil the claims for my business-law-study. So it was very helpful to me that we (as the whole group) got the advice to speak as often as possible in English
