  4. California Dreaming...

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted

    It's no secret that I've never been a stickler for 100% accuracy in builds, but just thought I'd solicit people's thoughts on an issue. I've recently acquired a fixed lug Radiomir case (originally a repair job, which the owner has since very graciously gifted to me [many thanks again, J :drinks: ]) and I'm thinking of taking it down the California homage route, but this has got me considering hand options. I'd always thought Cali dials were traditionally accompanied by blued hands, and I then wondered how regular black Luminor-style hands might look, so I hit up google, but I have to admit, I'm not liking how the black hands look. However, I am considering a set of gold 1950-style hands instead... Do folks think this might be a step too far away from the traditional blue, or an acceptable look? TIA :drinks:

  9. This one is a little disappointing.

    I'm not normally one to advocate sending a watch back for the more niggling flaws, but this sounds like it has enough niggling flaws to render it unwearable, so it is definitely in need of sending back. My Heritage has a quartz movement, at it's time keeping is near +/-0 per day. Same goes for the movement of my plastic submariner, which cost me £15, and was probably not even worth £5, but the thing still keeps bang-on time, so while I understand that quartz isn't for everyone (I've even had my own rants about quartz in the past) I must say now, that in all honesty, a quartz movement can be perfectly acceptable (depending on user requirements) and for it to lose time like that, well, that's just unacceptable IMHO :pardon:

    I would definitely suggest the Tudor Heritage, it has both a stopwatch function and a rotating bezel for other timing operations :) Not exactly 'cheap' (depending on your budget) If you want really cheap, I would suggest a plastic submariner homage :) Cheap as chips, modable with a branded dial if you fancy a chuckle, probably water resistant, and pretty much disposable should it malfunction :good:

  14. travelling with a rep

    When I travel I always bring my MBW 1665. It's loads of fun to mess with people's minds. You know those little plastic trays you have to put your stuff in for the xray? If you "forget" and wear a watch into the scanner and it beeps, then you get to take your watch off and throw it into the tray from where you're standing. And if you miss and it clatters and bounces all over the place and falls on the ground? Even better. Take that, you miserable overpriced piece of stainless steel! :tu: Jaws will drop. Trust me.

    Can't wait to give that a try :lol::thumbsupsmileyanim:
