Thanks, I'm in Denver. Thats the west view off my balcony. Heres the north view from the same spot: For SIZE comparison, here's a 45mm Rad on me: And lastly a 47mm Marina Mitare Destro:

Very nice, what strap is that?

Same thing I had on all weekend, the new gen 3 Arktos:

The Arktos is probably the most massive of the 44mm Pannies, but it's still do-able. I have small wrists and it's not ridiculous on me (unlike the 47mm 217, but I wear that one too). Here's a pic of the Arktos from Neil on me, and another of a regular luminor: Both look fine on me, especially in real life (as opposed to pictures), the 44mm size is perfectly fine.

Tossed them in individually, so the whole case flooded. Made sure to dry it really well and let it sit out for a while to remove all moisture before re-assembly.

Added some more pics in the fist post with the 092 on different straps.

Weelll, OK. The pic above is of the exact product I used. There's no ingredients spelled out on the label. The only thing mentioned anywhere is in the "Precuations" area, where is says the product contains "Sodium Percarbonate and Sodium Carbonate". Not sure if that helps or not. If you get your watch tested for waterproof and it is, then the whole tachymetre issue can be avoided by just sticking the whole watch into the oxiclean bath. Formula - I took one scoop, mixed it with 2 cups of water and heated it in a steel pot on the lowest setting on my stove "1". I let it warm up and mixed everything really well. One note of caution, this stuff will bubble up very quickly, so keep a cup around to scoop out the excessive suds for the first 5 minutes or so. After that, drop in the watch and metal band and leave it in there for 20 minutes, "stirring" every 5 minutes or so. Take it out and let it sit for half an hour. You will notice the strong blue highlighting I talked about. Wash it thoroughly with hand soap and water in a sink, using a soft brush (I use an old soft toothbrush) to get all the chemical residue off. This washing will not remove or alter the blue-ish tint in any way. If you like it that way then do nothing further, you are done. If you don't want the blue-ish tint, simply take a cape cod cloth and wipe off the titanium parts. Use VERY little pressure, just barely enough to do a very light wiping. Wipe off the whole watch. Afterwards, re-wash it under the sink with hand soap and soft brush again. Voila, dark grey ti with bright shiny SS.

Here's a pic of the date (I changed it to the 6th for the pic), and a few other shots, including pics of the inside of the watch:

Sooo, I decided to do a little experiment with my Ti/SS 192 rep. I had read about how mixing oxiclean and hot water and throwing a Ti watch in will oxidize the TI and give it a dark grey with blue look. I wasn't sure about the water resistance of the 192, and how it would handle being submerged in a chemical bath, so I opened it up, and removed the Venus movement and dial from the case. I put some oxiclean in one of my pots, stirred in some water, heated it on my stove on low heat, and tossed in the case and bracelet from the 192. When it came out I really didn't like the blue-ish tint on the Ti parts of the watch, so very lightly wiped it down with a cape cod polishing cloth (barely touching it up), and the blue went away. Lucky for me the Ti stayed a much darker grey than it originally was, creating a very strong contrast between the Ti and the SS parts of the watch, VERY COOL. Oh yeah, there's one other thing that happened, see if you can spot it. Here's the watch as it is now, re-assembled: Yes, as you can see the tachymetre markings around the inner bezel came off. I didn't realize they were part of the case and not part of the dial, so when I put it in the chemical bath, the oxiclean stripped it right off. Now it's less accurate to the original, but the funny thing is that I like the new look much better, cleaner and less busy. I think the new overall look is pretty badass.

Yes, definitely the 7750 in there, the sweep of the 2nd hand is great. And I'm pretty sure it's sapphire as the glass is cooler to the touch than my other Pannies that have synthetic mineral crystal, but I could be wrong....

Also, the lume is pretty good on this watch. Slightly better than my 212. Up till now the 212 had the best lume out of all my Pannie reps.

Same as all the others, 1.5x mag at most. I never was a Pannie Sub guy before, but after strapping this one on I ordered the newest 024A from Eddie Lee.

Got this bad boy today, the latest 092 from Neil: Here it is in some new clothes. This watch is amazing - almost any strap looks good on it: Europelli Black Cordovan with matching stitch: Europelli Oxblood Cordovan with matching stitching: KWH black Sharkskin with gold stitch: Black Gator with matching stitch: DON Black wax with white stitch: Molina Honey Tan Gator with White stitch: Molina Medium Brown Gator with white stitch: Europelli Black Cordovan with blue stitching: Wojtecki Tan with matching stitch: Black Carbon Fiber from my 212: Europelli Cordovan Black with white stitch:

Got my new Arktos from Neil today, switched to it and love it:
