lovepanerai Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 just received this monster today from a fellow member - this is the rare Watchhonpo version with AR crystal, screwed in bezel markers and better/deeper engraving on the back...I am in love and yes it is HUGE The Back - my birthday is on a 13th so the serial is absolutely for me The Wristshots - I have a small wrist so it will take some getting used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Enjoy it. It is a really nice watch. As the owner of one who has learned the hard way let me pass on one piece of advice - do not over polish those bezel markers. They are copper with a thin coating of chrome. I learned the hard way.

I learned the hard way. thanks M8 I have read that in numerous posts do you by any chance know if the bezel can be re-aligned/taken off? that's the only thing that bugs me since it is off by half a tick - thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 If you're ever in need of parking your cross-channel ferry, it's good to know you're carrying a spare anchor on your wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I had no idea the PO is that heavy - or is the 187 that light?? 200 grammes is a lot for a watch. The 45mm PO is the heaviest watch I can comfortably wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 The gen weighs about the same and it has white gold markers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureTime Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Really nice watch Rupert, but the quality of the rubber strap is not that good from the pics, you will need my ultimate carbon strap :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Angus- I suspect that when the buckle finally comes out in the engraved version you will have quite a few takers. It is a must have for any 187 or 194 owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Awesome 187 you have there! Is the movement 7750v1 or v2? If v1, any plans to make it swiss7750? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
