        @celik glad to help

        @Appfaff I saw a comment the other day that the ETA movements are super reliable because so many have been made, and all the problems have been ironed out over time. The chances are that the fake Franck Muller uses one of these, or a clone such as a Selita, so that might explains its lifespan.

        Then again, real Mullers also use an ETA based movement. 😃

          I’ll take a pic of it later and maybe you can recognize the movement since it’s a glass back.

            Got to try one on last night in person.  I didn't love it when they announced it, but it's pretty good IRL.  Word is they're almost sold out…

                After admiring and drooling over this for the last 3 years, one of these finally came up for grabs in a price range I could semi-afford (although I am currently moving some of my gear to help cover the costs).

                I realize there are some very strong opinions about panerai on both sides of the fence, but this particular model has always been one that really appealed to me.

                You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

                    I like them alright, but they're too big for me. I love the bronze ones.

                      Love Panerai’s, and a 321 is my next planned watch purchase, probably towards the end of next year

                        @tigerpac I can't see the photo. What were you trying on?

                        @Dstauffer I'm not really a Panerai fan, though my love of the Mare Nostrum has been documented here, but I do like that one.

                          Thanks @Graeme. Overall I’m not particularly drawn to the brand, and to be perfectly honest I don’t see myself every buying another…but there was something about this particular model that kept drawing me back to it.

                            @Dstauffer your Panerai is one of the more sedate models. I think that the brand's aesthetics work better when dialled back a notch or two.

                            I saw a Panerai a few months back that had a sunburst dial, the 687, which I rather liked.

                              Pretty nice for the price, especially considering I got it for a steal.

                              Some nice yinzer colors in there too.

                                  I finally made my decision and chose a watch that I believe is very much “me.” It’s not flashy, is substantial in weight, and kind of “punk rock” in a way.

                                  Very happy with my decision, and it’s procurement for the celebration of my 30th birthday (next week) is all the more meaningful. A very special thanks to the friend who was able to facilitate the sale for me.

                                      Thanks Gav, after trying on 100 stainless band watches, I realized a leather band was the way I wanted to go.

                                      And SINN seems to be a pretty rare brand in the US, so the likelihood of running into someone on the streets of Alabama with it is probably about as rare as seeing some Iron Heart jeans walking the streets lol

                                            I made the switch to leather bands (from stainless steel) about 3 years ago and I just absolutely love them. Nothing against stainless, but IMHO there is a certian aesthetic of leather that really appeals to me. Especially with contrast stitching.

                                            If you are ever in the market for more of a high end band, DaLuca has some really great products.

                                            Great piece though sir. Truly unique and very appropriate given your personal style.

                                            You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.
