  1. Yes- just search for "chronograph" since 95% of all chronos use that configuration. The actual movement is a 7750 (and 7751) the ETA 2894 (and variants) also uses this config.
  2. Thanks, Drulee. I'll check it out.
  3. For you who know me, you know I have more than one watch. Also, I have more than one Panerai. Furthermore, I have more than one Ti Panerai. I recently bought a DSN Ti PAM from a friend and when I commented that it was heavier than my other Ti PAM's he suggested that they're probably Aluminum and not Ti. Well, I really bought the DSN PAM for the strap but recently started wearing the watch and sure enough, the metal feels very different than the other Ti PAM's I own. I own a few Ti gens and what I really love about the metal is that it feels rough and dry (if that makes any sense). I also have a rep Breitling that feels like Ti. Anyway, long story short, has anyone else thought about this? What are your experiences? Is there any kind of definitive test to know if it's actually Ti or actually Al?
  4. I'm going to go ahead and voice my opinion here for better or worse. Prestige showed himself to be a douchebag and those who defend him showed themselves to be douchebags. There's no excuse for his behavior and since the relationship between dealers and customers is already pretty touche and go, his decision to broadside By-Tor showed extremely poor judgment. Unlike Prestige, By-Tor has actually contributed significantly to this forum and to rep collecting in general. He has conducted himself diplomatically and tactfully and his reviews are informative and objective. I'm sure Prestige's rude comments were like water off of By-Tor's back but personally, I won't deal with Prestige. I don't need a dealer who likes to fight, argue, or make a point. I need a dealer who sells watches at a fair price and who's available if something goes wrong. I buy almost all of my watches from Josh for those reasons. In short, save your tantrums for romper room.
  5. It went for $810. Someone is in for a load of disappointment.
  6. You should start from 0 psi. Since you'll almost always start your "dive" at sea level. The 75psi you're measuring inside the bottle is actually 75 additional psi so it should be measured as indicated by the dial.
  7. I agree. It sucks to be Charlie Sheen. Also, he lost a watch.

  9. Ah yes... the classic Panerai design... illegible hands... Panerai blue (what you said?)... something tells me the designer/builder/manufacturer wasn't paying any attention at all on this one. That said, I want one.
  10. Not that I don't sympathize with you but keep in mind that this is not heaven and is not supposed to be perfect- quite the contrary. It's my belief that the point of life is not only to suffer but to overcome suffering. It's through this process that our souls grow and a soul without suffering is like a muscle without exercise- it needs the suffering to get or to stay fit. Nobody wants to see their child suffer (I have two and I swear it hurts me more than it hurts them when they suffer) but our goal should be to focus on the healing and not the pain. By doing this, we teach them how to deal with life's <i>real</i> pain when it inevitably enters their lives.
  11. I've been waiting patiently for this one. Anybody know if any of our treasured dealers have plans of releasing it?
  12. I do call it fake. I think calling it a replica is pretentious. Of course, the fakes we're seeing these days are pretty f'ing good so when I call them fakes I'm actually being facetious since they're so much better than that.
  13. I'm a fan of your watch too. Is it the army green version? It doesn't look so green in your photo and I like it that way.
  14. Thanks for the reply. I'm in a small watch phase so that doesn't sound like an issue to me.
  15. I'm dying to buy one but would love to hear opinions first. Anyone?
  16. That is actually "correct" for the bag. They use one piece of fabric for the main part of the bag therefore one side is right side up and the other is upside down. What's noteworthy though is that he'd post a pic of the bag with the upside down side showing.
  17. It has been my experience that people who sign off with "Thanks, xxxxx" are douchebags. I hope that particular douchebag comes to his senses without causing you much more trouble.

  19. I haven't seen (or heard of) Brooklyn's Finest. I thought Shutter Island was good if not a little formulaic. I think DiCaprio is a good actor and well cast but having seen too many movies in this genre, I was not as surprised as I would have liked to have been.
  20. So basically, it confirms that the sticker is authentic. So what?
  21. It's par for the course. Annoying as hell but not much that can be done about it. It doesn't affect his swift shipping or quality though so don't worry too much about it.
