    The Paneristi are going to come and take these away from you and break them I am afraid. I LOVE that look! Simple, clean, elegant! In this case they are not actually pretending to be something they are NOT! I may have to send another wheel barrow full of money to you Chris!

    I have heard a lot of good things about the IW Marine Divers. They have a strong following on TimeZone.

    Nice watch, but over 16mm HIGH!?

    I would absolutely demolish that watch... or rather, would demolish door frames, sheetrock corners, and doorknobs with that watch.

    Anybody looking for a great watch, I highly recommend they snap up that Speedmaster. I have the "Professional" version, which is hand wound and considered the Moon Watch. Great piece and I'm sure Chris will price attractively.
