The Dive Watch Connection

I got a surprise this morning. Some previous days' pics: https://i.imgur.com/PUEBT1k.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BqXEZTx.jpg And here's today's pic. https://i.imgur.com/HZBrUoP.jpg I had to go back and double check, as I didn't recall an orange date wheel. Anyone know if this is a "Fortis thing"? If no...

It's an auction and $799 is the starting bid. I guess you could get lucky and be the only bidder.

If you see it in person post some pics and your impressions.

I see it's an online only model, so seeing it in person before purchase is not likely. But there's a 30 day return policy so not much risk there.

I'd have to see this one in person. I love the Radiomir case but I'm not sure I'm in love with the dial color, it might be a bit too light for my taste. Panerai themselves call it 'beige' not 'brown'. But the price for this watch is pretty attractive and it's limited to 300 units so it is an interes...

This thread inspired me to dig out some older photos of the PAMs I still own.





My wife also has a PAM512 which she loves. At 42mm I thought it would look ridiculous on her tiny wrist, but it actually works pretty well.

I have a PAM000, PAM190, and PAM372, all of which I've owned for many years, so there are some models that I consider long-term keepers. I'm not interested in any of the recent releases, however. I have to disagree with Ron's opinion of the 372 when compared to the 127 - I certainly don't think the ...

Congrats! I do my best to try and stay away from Topper, those visits can be expensive

That's beautiful, Mike.

I'm a big fan of GO and love the Sixties series and the color combo of this watch - including the fumé dial - but I'm not a fan of the dial texture.

Does anyone else find it a bit odd that some of the minute markers are missing from the bezel? For example, the markers at 19, 21, 29, 31, etc.? I assume that this was done for aesthetic reasons so as to not crowd the numerals, but that didn't seem to be a concern for the 9 and 11 markers. I guess ...

Very cool. Thank you! Going to have to make a trip to see this in the future.

Definitely worth the drive up from SoCal.

In case anyone is interested, here's the official announce of the ownership change.

Apparently every forum owned by VerticalScope (and there's a ton of them, including WUS) is dropping Tapatalk access. I'm not aware of any plans to do the same at DWC.

Really cool pictures. Did you have to get a pit pass to gain access to all those areas? Thanks. Tickets allowed for paddock access which let me get pretty close without the need for a special pass. I went to the Indy Car race in Monterey last week which also allowed paddock access, but many of the ...

I keep looking at this. It’s a beauty. I wish they posted a head on shot.

I’d still prefer they had offered these in the 358 case, or split the difference with a new 40mm model.

The 358 case would have been perfect.

This new Hanhart is beautiful. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230901/865ca7253de7b9563ca68b6e3f7d99a2.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230901/e5b8defba15574fd80b8f206f3721d15.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230901/f24f6dc2fe11afe160f2929fd112771c.jpg Yes, I would wear that watch 10...

All 38.5. Get the F out

At 40mm I might be a buyer. At 42mm for sure. But 38.5mm is a non-starter for me as well.

OK, I think I have my seasons right this time... https://www.watchbuys.com/store/pc/Sinn-Fall-2023-New-Releases-c145.htm A little small at 38.5mm, but I like it: https://www.watchbuys.com/store/pc/catalog/detail/SI-111.jpg Available with an acrylic or sapphire crystal. This is pretty cool too: https...

I believe we’re already seen those.

You're right, I knew I shouldn't have posted while I was half asleep...

I'll be back in 45 minutes...

I'd like to see something new, not another iteration of the U or EZM series. Those have been done to death at this point. Umm… we know what happened when Sinn thinks too far out of the box: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230831/8a1df562cf292225522e206804bc151b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.c...
