  1. talk about a turn off for a watch I wonder if some companies could pay certain people NOT to wear their products hahah
  2. agree on the model but who's Peter North???
  3. it's all a question of personal preference but functionally if you have a chrono you need the large hand so you can time things. Who actually check seconds when you look at your watch? Only when you are timing things. If you have a chrono that's how you do it.
  4. removing the caseback and carefully putting inside the jar with the desiccant should help. Make sure you don't get the powder inside the watch.
  5. I'm not sure I fully understood your question. Yes you can run seconds on the center post of a 7750 but that gear is actually the chrono seconds. What kind of setup are you looking for? If you want the seconds running on center post, where would the chrono seconds run? The date wheel is totally independent from the chrono so that's not an issue.
  6. I don't think the 360 has even been released yet. It's sold out but I think it will take some time for OP to ship them with personalization etc.
  7. AP ROO (vac lumed) Gen PO Franken PO 005 (vac lume) 111 (LH) 156 (vac lumed) 186 (vac lumed) 232 (DSN) 243 (standard rep)
  8. nothing to add. I did not notice the post was old.
  9. I carry my reps with me all the time while traveling thru Europe. Once a security guy asked about my watches and wanted to see them. I showed them, he said OK, and then I went. If you are carrying a varied selection they won't mind either (just don't carry 5 of the same watch). Like the other said, on your wrist, nobody will bother you. Besides some of our reps are hard to spot even with a lupe. How would a security person at the airport know any better?
  10. I love that "JJ Irani" was one of the first to compliment the rep I can't stand that guy. Big expert he is.
  11. Mickey, how close to the gen this one is? Is the AR suppose to be this blue?
  12. The closest Panerai model would be the PAM115 but the movement would be incorrect, the dial is incorrect, the bracelet (should be a leather strap) is incorrect, the crown guard is incorrect. Plus when you actually see it in person they look cheap (the AR being the worst part). Like I said, these kind of watches feel/look like Canal St. stuff. As for the movement, the 6497 is a workhorse. Easy to replace if necessary as well. I know nothing about Zeniths so I can't comment. I don't get quartz models but that's just a personal opinion.
  13. Yep, DSN should be the way to start of the cartel auto ultimates. All these <$350 PAMs look like Canal St. junk. I'd stay away from it (CG, AR, crystal, canon pin, crown, dial, lume, bracelet - all bad).
  14. Somehow I'm getting my fair share of double posts today
