[yattokame]

Gunnystrap or the other local one is.....errr...cant rem pai sey

Haha but highly unlikely a watch for her. Already gave her a Mont Blanc ballpoint pen.

......I can see you wun be getting much fun for the next few months.
Just kidding

A bit OT but was in the office lift with a guy who pulled off a Panerai on his wrist well, then I thought, maybe it could be me.

Suddenly i remembered guy was a fair few CMs taller than me, and about 1.6 times me breadth wise.

Note to self: If I ever have to shop 42mm and upwards watches in the future (right now still saving), an "extended test drive" is required.

Hoot first talk later.

I'm pretty interested in the steinhart watches as i do not own 1 yet. How much is the one that is display here that look similar to bell & Ross design? Where I can buy it? Seems like preown shops dun have it as they don't accept this brand? How much is the 2015 limited edition steinhart & where I can purchase it?

I'm just a small watch collector with few rolexes & AP but more into Rolex datejust. Now considering 1 each of Steinhart, Cartier, IWC, JLC, Hublot, PP, Panerai, Breguet, A.Lange, Richard Mille in near future. A great hello to all dear pro watch collectors.

Hi any bros here have lo bang for my friend? He is Looking to get PAM312 but it's about 3 months waiting list in Indonesia.

He really wants it before Christmas, was hoping if any bros here can contact their SAs for availability check.

If stock is ready, he'll fly over. If need to deposit I can make a bank transfer.

Thanks

Ps: I've emailed ion Panerai boutique and the general email of THG but no reply yet since yesterday.

Got stock at AD. Just viewed it last saturday. But since yattosan has given u the contacts, i'll leave it as it is now. He confirm have a better lobang. Good watch hunting time.

Actually with good contacts, AD will cost u more but are not much more expensive i think. Esp when u treasure the whole watch buying experience and a peace of mind. So far i only went to see at grey dealers. Eventually, i still bought at ADs. Personal preference anyway.

U can try the 42mm pams. I am in the same situation as u with regards to wrist size. I have tried and The 42mm pams sits pretty ok i feel.

Of course there r ppl who feel we should not get small pams as they r meant to b wore large...

 

[BERSERK1980]

Its different. Trust me.

I was going for the deepsea sea dweller as 40mm rolex were getting too small for me. The dssd didnt have enough wrist presence.

Went to try the pam24 and got hooked. Since already at pam, either go big or go home LOL. End up with the 47mm pam305. Love the see thru caseback.

My dssd is seeing very little wrist time. So far i can conclude that part of the reason for lesser wrist presence is because of the tapered bracelet which is slimmer than sub's bracelet.

Im 1.84 and 85kg but my wrist is only 6.25", 47mm luminor 1950 case is the max i could go. Tried the bronzo 382 under AD's recommendation and it was too much for me. Depends on your attire and how you carry it, was having lunch and saw a guy probably only 1.6 and 65kg wearing a bronzo..he can carry it off better than me.

Seems like those who like the DSSD like Pams. The tapered bracelet was the reason my wife strongly dissuade me from getting. But DSSD getting more common. Think I saw 2 over the last week.

You are observant bro yatto, the dssd is thicker but the dssd may appear smaller than the sub. Another reason, the dssd has a dome sapphire which under certain angles, kinda distorts the dial.
