      Panerai OEM straps are great, but strap collecting can be a problem with Panerai. Particularly when there are some great strap makers out there…MP being one...they last forever.

      A few more…

      On the wrist…

          ^ Thanks.

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

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

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                  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…?

                      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.

                        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.

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

                                Thank you for the suggestions!

                                (I ended up buying the Oris bronze watch BTW. Very happy with it.)

                                    Thanks, I'm very happy. It is not too big or too high and the color of the dial (dark blue) and the bronze are lovely.

                                        Glad you got the Carl Brashear @JDelage, and that you're happy with it. 🙂

                                        It's a nice looking watch, probably a better piece of design than the Tudor too. I do like it, and hopefully you'll post some evo shots in the future.

                                          As someone who's never looked very carefully at watch prices, I am surprised to see how much pre-owned watches are discounted. At Topper, there's a Nomos Lambda wg, 95% condition from Sep '16, for sale at $11k, which is a sharp drop from the $20k MSRP (not sure what is the true retail price).
