Yep, looks like a good 'un Ian. What style strap have you gone for?

The original is a Rolex President style bracelet and fortunately Cousins sell a good copy that comes with the curved ends that fits my wrist.

After lengthy negotiations with DHL (the tracking part of their system wouldn't acknowledge that I'd paid import taxes / duty so the watch was 'held' while I sorted it out - took three days to get from Australia to the UK then four days to get to me from Docklands

) here's the Panzera Atlantic Blue Fathom, I think it was worth waiting for.

When you get bored with it you can send it my way, lovely looking watch.

Fitted the new bracelet today to the Citizen, it's identical to the original and I was even able to use the Citizen clasp.

Thanks for the positive comments about the Panzera gents, I'm pleased with it & it was reasonable value (would have been better value without the import charges however..).

Looks smart Ian, hidden crown?

Invicta diver on silicon/metal strap today

Yes the crown tucks nicely into the case. I do need to take the movement out of the case as the crown is loose on the stem, just needs some thread lock to fix the problem but best done with the stem away from the keyless works.

A larger Parnis (Matron). Not crazy about the strap but it was the only one I had that fitted, it came on an ill fitting nato,
