STINGER93 462 Posted January 24 (edited) Longines steel calatrava against my Stevenson 727s. I was NOT planning on buying any more watches for a long time, but when I got the opportunity to snag this one I couldn't say no. Most collectors favor these with sector dials and/or arabic numerals, but I'm a huge fan of how closely this one mimics the applied baton index dials Patek was putting on the original reference 96 around the same era (1930s-40s). Edit - cant get uploading to work, despite using a properly sized jpeg... Edit - There it is! Edited January 24 by STINGER93 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was mindblown they even had any given it’s been almost two years since the dial change. I’ve somehow come full circle; When I bought the titanium version (SBGA031) it was my grail and I always wished I could get an 029 in steel (the watch shown) as a daily beater. I’ve gone through most all Seiko divers since then and ended up with the 029 after all. Everything else seems moot now so I plan on selling off the others. That, and GS is likely to release a new diver at Basel in a few months lol Was it the Timeless Luxury in Atlanta? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aho 675,972 Posted January 31 (edited) ^So good! Really loved the Submersible series shown at SIHH, looking forward to whatever else they release this year as well. Would like a Panerai as my next luxury watch purchase, but don't have plans for a big purchase for a few years yet. Also big fan of Norwegian Wood, brings back some good memories of my years in Japan MM300 again...I'm planning to sell, but so far am having trouble doing so as it's been through so much with me. Ultimately it's too large and I should peel the bandaid but what can you do Edited January 31 by aho 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnM 704 Posted January 31 ^ Just finished reading Murakami's 'Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World'. What a great book. The Panerai is huge at 47mm. Despite the size, I love the simple, two-hand design with sandwich dial and manual wind movement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDelage 2,376 Posted January 31 I have that fantasy of getting one of the 8-day Panerais, probably the most basic 560, especially if I can find one with the sandwich dial..;. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnM 704 Posted January 31 ^ That's a great choice. Tough to find those first year editions with the sandwich dial. While I love the sandwich, the current painted dials are very nice too. Big, bold numerals with lots of lume. The current brown dialed 560 and 564 are great, as is the earlier 176 with a black dial. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spiraltoy 1,415 Posted March 5 Thanks @goodrain. That Nomos one looks good and they have it in 19mm small which is what I need. It’s in Europe as well so no import fees and such. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
