Pugwash Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 I'm glad Kostas got a 112 as the logo is only, in my opinion, supposed to be painted on the back of a parka or on the side of a chromed-up Vespa with 8 wing mirrors.
Maikel Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 Definitely 112 h love the simple & clean look of it.
Chronus Posted November 24, 2006 Report Posted November 24, 2006 Of the BASEs I prefer the 176, but it's the 112 in a titanium case.. and I like titanium I'd like to see it in a tantalium case too!
joelmassee Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 How can you pick a fav out of 4 terrific and excellent first PAMS? If you are anything like most of the members, you will be happy with anyone of them. Choose wisely grasshopper...
flavor flav Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 i would say the most popular would be the 111H. but i'd do the 177h titanium.

It would also hade been wise for you to read all the thread and see that I got the 112 Just kidding.. I have the watch for 6 months its my daily beater and I am very happy with it.
Watchmeister Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 But isn't it time for a second one.
V Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Posted January 21, 2007 To be honest I consider and treat my franken 003 like a genuine.. plus my other franken destro is making a good variety I tried in Greece some other models but didn't liked any that much to get the genuine

I've always thought the 177H would be my first, but the manual movement might bother me day in and day out. Recently the 86 has caught my eye - automatic, anthracite dial, but a somewhat awkward looking silver sub dial (which I've learned to like).

Recently the 86 has caught my eye - automatic, anthracite dial, but a somewhat awkward looking silver sub dial (which I've learned to like). I was like you and prefered automatic movements.. After some time though i started to like more the manual wind.. You wind it the morning and then it lasts for 2 days.. The automatic needs a watchwinder or be active throughout the day to power it. You can wind it as well but it is not recommended for automatic watches to wind them often.
Pugwash Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 You can wind it as well but it is not recommended for automatic watches to wind them often. Eh?
jonthebhoy Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Eh? methinks he refers to the wind jump starts
Pugwash Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 methinks he refers to the wind jump starts But Automatics are safe to wind daily if they're not worn, no?
V Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Posted January 22, 2007 Eh? Is this not right? I think I ve seen it on the Paneristi.. a guy was saying that the Panerai service suggested him not to wind frequently his automatic Pam... I think The Zigmeister said something about it in a topic somewhere between his reviews...
Pugwash Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 I think The Zigmeister said something about it in a topic somewhere between his reviews... If this is indeed the case, I will sit corrected. I wasn't aware of any issues with winding automatics, especially as this is unavoidable on some of them when screwing the crown back in.
Pugwash Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Ok, here is the word from The Zigmeister: Automatic movements. There are two basic types of automatic watches, those that wind in both directions, and those that wind in one direction. Uni-directional winding movements all Asian models are unidirectional (at least the ones I have seen). Included in this is the Asian or ETA 7750, it’s a unidirectional model. You can safely wind uni-directional models with the crown, because the automatic winding clutch is a click spring ratchet wheel, and is not prone to damage from hand winding. Bi-directional models ETA’s and most Swiss models, 2824-2, 2836-2, 2892-2, etc… You can hand wind a bi-directional model, as long as you do so slowly, these models have automatic winding clutch wheels with click levers that will be damaged by fast or repeated windings. There is no such thing as “Over-winding a watch” so forget that notion.
V Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Posted January 22, 2007 Ok, here is the word from The Zigmeister: Ok.. so i was right.. i was quite sure i read it on psti and since the genuine panerais are bi-directional models it is true that winding daily may damage them in the future.
