kasper618 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 I decided to drop the 200 dollars on this out of sheer curiosity. I snapped a few pics of the watch in different lighting so everyone could see what it really looks like. It's not just your normal yellow gold plating, it has it's own flare to it. It surpassed my expectations and I'm surprised. The strap is HUGE though, needs a new hole punched in it.
StormTooper4 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 That looks pretty good Wonder if it will age/patina/tarnish nicely Thanks for posting & wear it well
buffedupboy Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Is there any interest in an actual CuSn8 caseset? Lovely watch btw.
Jkay Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I can safely say the answer to that question is "YES" ... and ST4 .. it's gold plated, so it will not "patinate" Edited January 24, 2013 by Jkay
jcagara08 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 why not try to "Patinate" this baby, I am sure it will be worth it, damn nice watch mate
Legend Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 the first submersible I am taking a fancy to! Awaiting the bronze version.
Mike on a bike Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Nice, though not a fan of gold anything. The strap is to long Ha ! I doubt it. (but that is just me) Wear in good health.
chris5264 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 its not like bronze is expensive.....perhaps they used actual bronze or brass?
Legend Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 its not like bronze is expensive.....perhaps they used actual bronze or brass? i heard the real bronze case is coming soon?
philwongnz Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Nice work! I am always curious what the rep will be like. Altho I find the watch hellishly ugly, my mate loves it! May I ask which TD u got this from?
BigDD Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Very interesting. cant wait for the real bronze version.

May I ask which TD u got this from? This came from Trusty Time, took 6 days from order date to be in my hands, conus!!! Impressive!
Watchmeister Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 My fingers are crossed for a bronze case. It is a great looking watch but having owned bronze statues in the past the patination is critical. In truth if you don't like patination you would n't buy the gen. Bronze darkens without any form of preventative coating and it seems Panerai has done that on purpose. They want it smudged.
