These are so so poisonous.. am in love with those broad sword hands and lovely blue dial. and shiny bezel. May just head down to K2 later to take a look!

By the way does any bros here know if K2 still stock oyster/president bracelets for SKX007? Much thanks!

Is there going to be a resurgence in FFF craze? Darn, makes me want to buy another again. :s22:

This was my seiko FFF with a tropic rubber strap.

Back to basics Tuesday. Been neglecting her for too long.

Putting her on again reminds me why I fell in love with Panerai. :D

Hi guys, i'm considering a PAM after selling off my current watch, i do have a small wrist thus i cant pull off a 44mm which most pams are. Are there any PAM with 40 - 42 mm for my consideration?

small wrist here too. 392 @ 42mm fits just nicely.

392 is kind of all round, sandwich, date, in house.

Guys, base watch is around 180, modding depending on parts. Can be cheap can be expensive. See what you fancy. I spend 55 on dial 60 for bezel. And labour see how handsome you are.

My wrist is puny as well. Tried the 392 n found it to be too thick and out of proportion on a 42mm. Tried on a 312 n surprisingly can wear and feels more balanced.

Suggest anyone who is interested in the 392 to also try the 312. U may b pleasantly surprised. Pams are meant to b big n their 44mm can fit most people. 47mm on the other hand could b abit harder

Read something interesting in this issue of WOW magazine.

wow-march-issue-races-ahead-with-a-world-exclusive-cover-and-top-novelties-from-the-geneva-watch-fairs.jpg


Just realised that all this time, what I thought were deployment clasps, should correctly be called deployant clasps!

Accordingly, "deployant is a technical term in Swiss French referring to the folding nature of the metal clasp that adds a level of security to watches with leather, and sometimes rubber straps. There is no direct translation for deployant"

Just thought I share this here.
