projectologist Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Well first of all, the lighting SUCKED!!! The Boutique is only approxiamately 15'x20' with ceiling spots as the only light source. Very little daylight filtered in from the window on the street. Contrast city. So most pics were taken at around a 1/10th-1/20th hand-held. I gave up on trying to improve them in post-processing. The case is definitely modeled after the 6154 (shouldn't have a cg, but that didn't stop OP from adding one). The thin sandwich dial was just O K but the LP engraving was a plus. yep the hour hand appears a little short but is the same length I believe as the 203. It's almost as if OP is paying homage to about a half-dozen different watches from their past. Pics... Movement is a little plain looking with so much of the innards covered up, but in-person seemed balanced with the rest of the watch. I was tempted to remove the sticker, but hadn't had enough wine at that point. Life on the road must get pretty rough sometimes... wtf happened to the cg??? Tried getting close enough to see the depth of the engraving and the cutouts... After awhile the hour hand length was a non-issue, seemed to look more balanced in-person. The watch sits fairly tall on the wrist and the plexi is sure to get scratched up. The area between the lugs and the bezel is typical 6154, I wished it had been more like a 6152/1. Buckle and strap were very cool. The strap isn't quite as red in-person. It's a big improvement over OP's previous attempt at a vintage strap and has a nice patina right out of the package. A couple of POVs... Set mine down next to it to compare ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Sheesh... How many guys have fumbled that 372 and dropped it? And they still left the sticker on after it's been 'vintagized' like that? Still a beautiful watch, regardless, and a much more balanced design than the 127. Congratulations to everyone in line for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 B- Great pics. thanks so much. Although I love the look I think I am sticking with the Fiddy. Did they use the 8 day or 3 day movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they use the 8 day or 3 day movement? Thanks! It's the Panerai P.3000 calibre, 3-day movement. Too bad we can't see a little more of what's under the plates.
