You gotta love those Bruno straps!

Yes, no AR on the outside.

Forgot to add, Cape cod + elbow grease will remove the outside AR, be sure to mask off the bezel though, unless it is SS polished that is.

My gen 177k has AR coating on the inside only if that helps.

Check THIS one out........

Holy crap on a stick, thats an f-ing stunning strap - I am now sending you mind controlling thoughts to send that beauty to me......go on.

The blades or hands of the closest wind turbine...........

The watch is fake?

Its the 177 for me

These three straps are just so.........I want. 3) HKTAN/V Metta Catharina strap. Made by HKTAN with a piece of hide I provided him. I adore about everything on this strap(colour smell craftmanship...). It has a sewn-in MX Logo buckle as well. 4) Mario Paci PAV99 hide with sewn-in MX logo buckle. Amazing strap as well full of Panerai history and it has now developed a very nice patina. The darker it gets the better. 5) Mario Paci PAV91 hide with sewn-in MX logo buckle. Very unique hide pattern with a wonderful burgundy colour. Love it.

I think the 6497 movement in general is a noisy ticker - I own a genuine 177k and a Marina Militare with an asian 6497, they are both the noisiest watches I own, although the asian movement is marginally louder. My other watches are all solid case backs with anti-magnetic shields - I guess this absorbs the movement noise whereas the case on the 177 is open backed with no magnetic sheilding. I actually like the ticking, reminds me I have a stunning mechanical watch on my wrist.

Time for Project No.2 and sell that beauty to me....

Hi, try contacting Military Time - www.jacksontse.com They sell cases and crown/crown guards so chances are they will sell you the CG screws, I have found the communication very good. Good luck.

right you are, me bad.

Thats not a 177, its a destro model. I agree that the 177 is a beaut - Heres mine -
