Nice watch. Only thing slightly glaring to my eyes is the pearl. I noticed that the Ruby PO (think it's the so-called "Ultimate") has a smaller font for "PROFESSIONAL" than yours. Not sure if this should be the case or not. Wear it well--very nice.

Do a search for winders. Wrote a quick review on an Amazon cheapo that works very well. Double watch winder with auto timer. Costs under $40.

Thanks--good thread. I look forward to seeing where this one goes.

Neil, if you wanna play hardball, then it should technically be Aharon, since that's how it's spelled in Hebrew it is. So to be completely obnoxious you would call him Ah ha ron, not to be confused, of course with Acha ron (which means "last") Just call the bloke Air-run and all should be cool...

I for one like it. Go team!

yeah, tie is a disasterpiece.

I have you to blame for wanting one of these now. Thanks for the great review!

+1. I'd also be interested for my 177H...

Nice Flav!

For this particular model I'd say go to your local non AD jeweler. It was NOT easy removing those pins; I broke 3 different (Indian) tools trying. Fortunately, I fixed the tools and adjusted the bracelet but there was elbow grease involved...

Read some bad reviews of the stuff. I think it's a bust. Nice idea though...

LOL. Looks like some sort of horror movie. Hope those weren't items that belonged to others who were just "wandering" through the woods...

I think there's a commerce statute of sorts that no online company selling PRODUCTS (not services) is supposed to charge your card until the product is shipped--otherwise they are in breach of terms of their merchant accounts. Not sure about this, but seem to recall it being so...

Nah, I wouldn't waste the money on Swiss stuff. My cheapo Indian tools have lasted me dozens of adjustments. The 3717 bracelet is very easy to adjust. Just follow the rules above... Helpful hint: Apart from one of those twist screw link pin removers I'd also get a jeweler's hammer with plastic head pins for tapping and a wooden bracelet holder. Super cheap. Kits on the Bay with all of this stuff for under $20. I'd spend the money on some good screw drivers. Last thing: expect hell on earth when you adjust your PO bracelet...

Wow - that would be the product of the year indeed. I wonder how one would guaranty an even layer of this stuff... Okay, who's going to be the first to try this: hxxp://www.amazon.com/Glare-Buster-Anti-Glare-Reflective-Coating/dp/B0006FYKSW hxxp://www.visionclearusa.com/ They make it for TV screens, picture glass, etc. Seems like picture glass would be closest to watch crystal? I get a sinking feeling about this one...

Good choice Pug. My 3717 gets almost zero wrist time. I think the black PO is sharp as it gets.

LOL.

Zig, I've heard the same thing which has been what kept me away from them, tempting as they may be. Thanks for the interesting post.

Glad these help. I think wrist shots are vital. I have New and Improved Osteopath to thank for his wrist shots of the Sant chrono--which made me pull the trigger. I was worried that it would wear too large and his pictures put me at ease. These things really need context. The wife thought the Panny looked horrid on her, but I actually like the look. Then again, she gasps in pain when I wear my RO Jumbo so we really have to wear these things for ourselves. Looking forward to your wrist shots within the next few days. I love Pug's white SF on leather; may not look so bad on you...

Great thread, Stephane. Keep it coming. Have a 1665 GW on the way! Can't wait. To clarify, acetone and Q-tips for the ink on the caseback and a sewing needle? Just want to make sure I understand correctly. I can see the need for a dremel to round things out and create some wear and tear. She'll be sitting out in the sun for a few days too. Great suggestion.

VBarret - for your reference. Hope these help. Even the SD looks quite large. Me, I love that look. Won't be winning any photo awards, I know...

"No pain, no gain and no watches"? That has to be the cheesiest tagline I've read to date. Let's randomly take a popular saying in English and then add a non-sequitur. "Don't believe the hype... and watches" "It's the pot calling the kettle black... and watches" "It's my way or the highway... and watches"

Sorry to thread jack but I saw the name "Carl Bucherer." I love these watches!!!!
