The power reserve dial is strangely comforting.Quote:

Although a cheap watch and the strap cost more I quite like ithttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0ea346ab64.jpg
That looks good Struth.
More of a fake than an homage but I don't think Panerai have ever made a watch like this. Bought from the long since defunct 'Poshwatch' website this is about 15 years old and surprisingly still fully functional (other watches I bought from this site have long since failed / fell to bits).

This just arrived, very happy with the build quality (got two spare links for you Grant)

This came as well. How you getting on with the strap on yours Grant?

yeah. its an odd strap. think its because of the way its seated in the lugs. personally if i felt more confident i'd change it. I do have something similar but more nato esque.. (similar colour) , coming...

My hands dont work so well and that strap is difficult to work with. still the one on is easily adjusted
Yes, I've got a black leather 'quick release' strap coming that I think might suit it also an orange silicone one I might try?Quote:
