Watches - another OCD problem

That GS is interesting. Beautiful, formal dial, contrasting (imo jarringly) with a sporty case and strap (of course the latter could be replaced). To me it looks confused, which is a shame given how nice the dial is.

Cool tech on the Speedy, meh dial design for me.

Black urushi is not that visually interesting IMHO. What is beautiful on this GS are the gold indices.

Morning commute. Big storm is coming to NE Ohio.

Love that patina on your PAM. Is that a 000?

@Anesthetist yes sir! Bought it at the Panerai boutique in Tokyo in 2010. Got really nicked and scarred from going in and out of the helicopter, and general life on the ship. I didn’t like the polished looked after all and hit it with a Scoth-Brite pad and made it “brushed”. Much better now in my opinion. On the hunt for a 47mm Submersible. Love these big tool watches!!!

Just got the email notification this morning from them. Looks interesting…

[Giles]

Erm........@Autorotate Like this - and it is for sale.......

[Anesthetist]

@Autorotate I owned one and didnt like the polish either, the scotchbrite is a good call. It looks much more purposeful than with that mirror finish. Strong work!

[Giles]

Think I will wear it to the pub tonight as I went to the trouble of getting it out of the safe.......

[Autorotate]

@Giles that watch is tremendous. What model is it?

@Anesthetist i scuffed it up almost as an afterthought. It was only afterwards that I said to myself “well I guess this a forever watch for me…”. Hahaha. And buying it was somewhat an impulse as well. On the bright side (pun), when a polished watch is worn and beat to bits and really shows the wabi-sabi, I just go crazy for that. I’ll post my speedy soon, which has been with me since 2004.

Patina is not as apparent as the PAM, and the crystal was replaced last year, but this thing has scars that could tell a story. It’s my all time favorite.

[Giles]

Got one of them too. Does not boast nearly as many scars as some of mine because it is not waterproof, and I cant trust myself to remember.......

[JDelage]

I want to know what happened to tha middle link. You had to parry a ninja's sword attack?

[Anesthetist]

All this Speedy talk breaks my heart. I traded my Moon To Mars edition years ago and had INSTANT regret. I have a Speedy X33 which I love but nothing matches the Speedy Pro feel.
Nice Omegas gentlemen!

Also that PAM is a friggin BEAST and if I had the wrist to pull it off I would.
