Watches - another OCD problem

Graeme

I'd heard that Panerais could be inaccurate, but three to five minutes per week is terrible. Rolex's standard is +/- 2 seconds per day, or a worst case of 14 seconds out a week.

The long power reserve sounds cool. I'm into having one watch, so it wouldn't make much odds on an automatic, though it would save me winding a manual so often.

@Graeme Yes the Mare Nostrum, to be precise, the Models without Numbers on the Bezel PAM603 and PAM300.

Graeme

@Steffen the PAM603 is the one I like. Shame they cover up the oh-so-sexy Minerva movement with a solid caseback, though.

^ Can I be the first to say, «Fekk me, that is beautiful»?

Graeme

I agree with @neph93 that it looks great.

I'm surprised that the strap has lasted so well. I had a bridle leather one on my Tender watch, which cracked and split after a few years. I need to source a replacement.

Luminor GMT with Gaurded goods Reverse Shell Cordovan strap. I’m disappointed with the quality of the strap.

Deluca natural Shell Cordovan on my PAM212….I have be playing with the idea of getting a NATO strap, but I really am loving this one.

What watches do you think have the most interesting display back / skeletonized dials, sub ~$5k…?

Chris

As far as I'm concerned, the most interesting movements to look at are manual wind chronographs. No recommendations on skeletonized watches, but a Speedmaster Professional with a display back is in that range.

Or you could get something like this for about 10% of that.

Graeme

The Nomos Neomatik watches have a nice movement, and come into the price range.

The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control Date with the sexy sector dial comes in at $5700. Its movement is neatly decorated.

The Omega Seamaster Aqua-Terra is $5500, and has an attractive, albeit industrial, movement.

@QuantumMechanic:

I’m considering parting with several and maybe getting something really special.

What are you considering getting instead? Something like a Patek or a Lange?

^ your 88 deserves better.

I know Greg (for full disclosure) and am a fan of his straps https://www.gregstevensdesign.com/watch-straps.html

Thanks. They look very nice.
