  1. Yes, it is a very dark gold color, my wife and I have lots of Thai gold which is 999 pure... Pure gold is very maleable and can break very easily. 18 and 22k gold is much stronger, but it loses the real gold color and is yellow in comparison.
  2. Here's one more: 187 Buckle
  3. What's the movement in the 222? That is beautiful!
  4. Well... My Europelli Baseball straps (in black/black and natural) are the softest I've tried ever, soft like butter. The natural has developed a beautiful patina in just a few weeks of wear. Thinking of getting a Black/copper for my fiddy coming soon, but have ordered an OEM Black/beige stitch to go on it first. I don't want to go crazy on Fiddy straps until I know that I'm comfortable with the size.
  5. I have a 18k white gold wedding band... big mistake, whish I got it in platinum. after getting it, I had to have it replated after 6 months, now it's about every year. Truly a PITA! I am thinking about getting it redone in platinum.
  6. Yeah! Grab the spice bottle LOL, what a maroon
  7. Just to let you know, the contrast between the Ti and SS is not as pronounced as in the photo. I have the gen PAM 091 and the Ti is MUCH lighter than that! The only natural metal I have seen in a Panerai is the Tantalium, which is quite dark.
  8. I would think that if you marked the center of the date window with a marker, on the outside of the crystal while it was installed, you'd have a pretty good idea of where to place the crystal... To do this properly, you would have to create a fixture with close tolerances. This would enable perfect placement of the cyclops every time.

    I really like the 192 and the vintage Panerai... The VC isn't bad either
  10. Yup, same watch again. This model doesn't even come with a spare strap OR screwdriver. Panerai actually discourage customers to put straps on their bracelet models. When I bought this, I was really wondering how I was going to match straps with the grey anthracite dial, I usually wore the bracelet.... After a short time, I bought a nice Europelli shell cord for it and it was just beautiful... more and more straps followed, all different colours and sizes. Now, I hardly wear the bracelet at all. It's funny, the light grey straps I bought to match the grey dial suit the watch the least, where the straps with contrast to the dial seem to go very well. Here's to color coordination
  11. Thanks to Estaban I put this little beauty back on my wrist
  12. He said unwanted erections Reminds me of when I was eleven or twelve and I saw my first nude sunbathers... walked right up to them to ask what time it was Had a pup tent in my bathing suit like you read about and the thing didn't go down for what seemed like hours, very embarrassing, but funny as hell when I thinink about it
  13. Yeah, scary stuff... A friend of mine has used it and says it's great but it gives him a headache. I think I'll take a pass Heard too much bad stuff about it.... Plus, I have visions of my poor wife being pulverized into the mattress and her head popping off
  14. I know it's a funny question, but how does it smell? One thing I've noticed about the more expensive straps (Europelli,Dirk,MPs) vs the less expensive straps (BOB, TC etc) is the smell... The more expensive straps have a very strong and beautiful leather smell to them. The less expensive straps just don't smell like leather, more like cardboard with a slight hint of leather. The Mettas are a completely different smell again... mmmmm Metta
  15. Get the gen... then you can save money on the watchwinder More is better
  16. I was in Burma a few weeks ago... People chase you up and down the street trying to sell you Viagra and Levitra, 100TBH for 10!!! That's $US2.65!!! Holograms and all... They gotta be baking soda, or something much worse!
  17. Nice vintage strap... but that combo just doesn't do it for me. I think the 212 goes best with a more refined strap:
  18. I have been wearing Panerais for a while now and it's very hard for me to go back... my gen SMP pro sits in the watch box for those unfortunate 'mercy wearings'... I tried a Seadweller, but it was sold after not too long as it was too small for my liking... and I'm not a big guy. Got a perfect Fiddy coming this week... I hope it doesn't ruin it for my 44s!
  19. Great strap Tutima! I'm inquiring for one for myself now!!
  20. Nice bike For me, I prefer this one:
  21. I didn't want to see that one either
