Even though being a big fan of the (classic) Safari, the Panda certainly is one of the best looking AP ROOs ever. And yes, if you want to have the "real thing" you indeed need the moddings, especially the case thinning is of utmost importancy to get it feel right. Good luck!

Transocean Chrono and the deployment PITA
Variatio Delectat replied to Variatio Delectat's topic in The Breitling Area
That would be an option indeed, however I like the gator strap much better - and as I now have the perfect solution for me I'm pretty happy with it.- 12 replies

Even better: You can even use the rep logo plate on the BOB deployant. Just perfect!- 12 replies

Update: I got me the aftermarket deployants from BOB, and they are indeed even better than the OEM ones. Perfectly satisfied now.- 12 replies

4 (Four!) Spitfire 3878 as of yet - so what now?
Variatio Delectat replied to Variatio Delectat's topic in The IWC Area
The watch smith fixed it, everything ok now. -
The quartz Speedys with two subdials and microstepper would probably be a good choice to start with. Since they don't have a small sec no one will even notice it's a quartz, and no subdial issue too.

Not the best rep in terms of accuracy, however one of the best looking ones IMO.- 12 replies

No problem, this is permanently mixed up, I personally prefer deployant too - however this time I decided to use "deployment".- 12 replies

Automatic, pretty decent dress watches indeed. Sure, pin buckle would be an alternative, especially since the rep crap strap has to be replaced anyway. Just that I usually prefer deployments for... well, comfort. Most other brands are able to build sufficient deployments though (B&M, TAG, Omega, IWC...) so obviously no magic dust needed.- 12 replies

My first Breitlings ever, two Transoceans just arrived, and even though I wanted to see them IRL to decide which one I should keep I now love them both so they are keepers all together. Well, at least for the time being... But, and this is a big but (with one t, guys... ), the deployment is a real PITA. WTF did they think to make that piece of metal (see pic) on the inside so that it always is supposed to hurt by design? I'd just love if anyone would have a solution. Any and all ideas are welcome and very well appreciated.

So did I, just arrived. Unfortunately the rotor does not work properly so it already went to the watch smith. -
[part 1+2 and final thought] full tear down IWC A5001
Variatio Delectat replied to Rolexman's topic in The IWC Area
Great work, thanks! Mine, howeve, was DOA - rotor stuck. Looking forward to meeting the watch smith once again. -

Yes, after watching some close-up videos I consider ZF as the best in terms of accuracy.
