Watches - another OCD problem
-
I got my Panerai from The Watch Gallery on Fulham Road in London.
When I was being 'introduced' to my new watch the salesman, very much like yours, bought me other watches to try on, and like you the Big Pilots blew me away. It was the 18ct white gold one, about £16000.00
Desire is important !

Dexter- I definitely like the new version better- cleaner dial, better hands and it always bugs me when the date window doesn't match the face color. True about the diamond crown. It's a hefty thing with sharp edges. I'd put an onion crown on it, personally. But then I'm not a designer for IWC, am I?
Great first real watch, too. The Valjoux 7750 based movements are always fun. I had a Hamilton that visibly wobbled as the rotor spun when I moved my wrist the right way. I used to do it in meetings just to keep from dozing off.
Triple- yeah, the white gold is really nice. It has such a beautiful luster to it. But, oh, the price tag…
Hectic- C'mon and join us over here on the dark side. You know you want to.
Balls are really nice, I always liked the Trainmaster Cannonball. I'm a sucker for a white face and blued hands.

I've got pretty decent sized forearms and wrists so I've never been a real big fan of small watched so that pretty much counts out any vintage watches for me. Thankfully there are a ton of brands now that make much larger faced watches. My current daily timepiece is the TSOVET SVT-AT76
I'm a huge fan of this watch. Probably looking to pick up a U-boat watch next. -
Maybe they're going for that whole perfection in the imperfection thing, haha.
-
Hectic- I suppose you could get a tiny screwdriver and fix it. I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, but now it bothers me, too.
T&L- I expect you're looking at the Thousands of Feet models from U-Boat?
On a random side note, Dave Holmes from the show "Holmes on Homes" wears an older model U-Boat Classico. Yeah, I'm that kind of watch nerd.

Chris - Nope, though I do like that model. Too similar to what I've already got, I'm more interested in the Flightdeck models, gotta get a round face watch next.

I've got the bug for a different Panerai so my current model, a PAM111 is up for sale.
I will list it in the 'For Sale' section so as not to clutter up this thread.

It is so pretty… Good thing I'm totally out of the watch market for 2010 and probably 2011. Otherwise, I'd be sorely tempted. I'd also have to figure out a way to explain a new watch to my wife, which probably wouldn't go well.
And sadly, she pays enough attention when I talk about watches and jeans to notice when I have a new item, and approximately how much it costs. No way a Panny is sneaking past her.
