      Wow, that's a cool way to adjust time: unlock and rotate the bezel.

        Just been reading a review of the Pinion TT on Fratello Watches. What really jumped out at me was this shot of the dial, which looks so clean, and that awesome, bent GMT hand.

            The Titanium on the Pinion looks really cool, I orderd myself a Titanium Mug a couple of days Ago just for the looks  😃

              Thinking about changing the NATO strap on my Steinhart Vintage as seen below

              To this Strap. Thoughts ?

                When I was into watches Squale and Glycine I preferred in the sensible price range.
                Not rare by any means but I found Steinhart, Seiko, Hamilton and CW so common on watch forums that it was like everyone had the same watch.

                  I like NATO straps better in general, but in this instance, I think your proposed switch is the better of the two options.

                        Just picked this up on the weekend at the Panerai boutique. SE - PAM 716 Mare Nostrum

                        Will need to get around posting some pics of the watch box. Panerai is second to none with their presentations.

                              The blue dial, the steel case, all of it. I’m normally not a fan of chronographs but the design here is sublime.

                                  The watch box has to way 10 pounds, and in typical fashion comes with an additional strap. But this SE also comes with a submarine which if you're a collector are difficult to find.

                                    It triggers my OCD that it specifies kph when units are independent in a tachymeter (you could be measuring anything per hour), but it is a beautiful take on a chronograph regardless.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                        I spotted a Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Bronze in their boutique a couple of days ago, and since people here are fans of the metal, figured I'd post it.

                                        And here's a photo from Instagram showing what it'll look like with a spot of patina.

                                        Monochrome have just posted a review, and they mentioned it's got a soft iron inner case to protect the movement from magnetism. The product page on the Bell & Ross site doesn't mention this, so I don't know if it's a mistake.

                                        Incidentally, or coincidentally, Fratello have an article on how to patinate a bronze watch, featuring a Pinion Axis.

                                          See? Normally they get the screws uniformly aligned on those square B&R cases, at least that I've seen.

                                          My travel schedule has had me investigating GMTs, and the winner is the Tudor Black Bay variant. It really seems to be a good value and I like its looks, particularly the more subdued (in color and finish) bezel versus a GMT II. The large crown is also appealing in a watch that would get adjusted more frequently.

                                          For now, however, I've opted to dip my toe in the water with a more modest variant. I want the rotating bezel so I can track triple time zones (e.g., home, current, and next destination), jumping hour hand, and a modicum of ruggedness. I found a cheap quartz variant that has the above and a lumed bezel. I'll post impressions in the less intimidating thread when it arrives.

                                          Think it, be it.

                                            @mclaincausey there's always the Rolex Sky-Dweller. Hodinkee have an extended review.

                                            Good luck in finding one, though. They're one of the models that Rolex doles out in very small numbers, meaning they're likely to end up on the grey market at twice RRP.
