Hi guys! First, I'd like to say Merry Christmas to you, and hope you and Yours have a (much) Happy New Year! I've recently acquired a few Noob and HF Panerai (026, 056, 177, 390) models... Two of them have pretty crappy center pin polish jobs on them, mostly a rough conical shape as opposed to the properly done slightly domed and highly polished center pin. To fix this, I thought to initially send one to my watchmaker to dome and polish... He's come back saying that the pins seem to be chrome plated over some red (possibly brass) metal. Has anyone experienced this, or even better, do any of you have a solution to these poorly manufactured center pins?

This is growing on me....

By-Tor you old snowdog! You're still here!

PAM 056 on Metta Katharina

still in love!

New watch alert!... No time to die is right 🙂 My new favorite watch:

Since I received the NTTD, I've been seriously contemplating getting the gen... only thing holding me back is the high price, with not a lot of discount being offered... Anyway, got a DiModell Chronissimo strap in brown for it, and it suits this watch perfectly IMO

... BUT, while I wait for the titanium mesh to be released for the NTTD, I figured the SS mesh would go well on my Bond Seamaster, and it isn't so bad at all:

I didn't think I'd like the mesh bracelet on this, but I do... a lot!

Got a new velcro RubberB strap!

This middle-agi-sish thing...

Thanks... it's growing on me... Got a RubberB strap coming soon! Excellent wife! Nice watch! Very lucky guy!
