Regards Richard Hi Richard great watch - I would have thought after all of those years of collecting replicas you might have retired, glad to see that you are still at it...I remember the day when you were the only one having a PAM48, way before any Automatic Panerai's with date became available. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovepanerai Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Why is the white "5-10-15" aligned to the 6 o'clock position instead of the 12 o'clock? because he turned the rotating bezel The inner bezel has a mechanism operated by the crown at 4 o'clock that allows you to rotate it in 1 minute increments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxuan Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I've been waiting to see who will be the first to get the SWISS. The day-date looks perfect. You've got a gem there. Congratulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Exactly on both counts. The day/date on the Swiss movement will line up correctly and it is good to see the rotating inner bezel mechanism works. Looks great. Wear it well.

Pix Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Is the rotating bezel not too loose ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pix Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I obviously asked the bad way I have a Tag SLR with an inside rotating bezel (as the IWC actually has - see my signature) The problem is that when you set it at a certain position (with the pusher at 9), any small touch to the same pusher will immediately end in the bezel moving. So my question could be : how hard/loose does the bezel rotate and stay in place ? Lovepanerai, can you answer that for me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my question could be : how hard/loose does the bezel rotate and stay in place ? Lovepanerai, can you answer that for me ? now I get it it actually requires some effort to turn the crown at 4 o'clock and than it clicks for every minute you rotate the bezel, so accidentally moving it is something that is very unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yeah ! That's the answer I was waiting for ! So, the Cousteau Diver seems to be flawless (except these date alignment thingies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
