ROO Durability... In the "trenches"
Hey Guys,I recently purchased my first AP. It's the grey themes ROO in titanium on a titanium bracelet. I normally wear my other pieces (Panerai/Rolex/Ulysee/GP) to work (physical job) and night out (ie.Vegas/Miami/etc) without worrying if it gets scratched. My PAM actually looks like it came from pre 1950 ( I kinda like it like that/with some good patina). Wondering about how the AP will hold up? I think my PAM looks great the way it is but not sure if the AP will look good scratched up. The AP looks so great the way the bezel and case play off each other right now and don't want to ruin that. I like using my toys and wondering if others wear their watches the way I do. Thanks Guys P.S. would really appreciate if anyone would be willing to share pics of their pieces.

Request: 5167/A Wrist shots
Hey all, anyone care to share pics of the 5167 in action on a 7-7.5 wrist?

p.9000 running fast
It looks like my new 305 is gaining time. The first 24 hours it seemed to be fine (+2 seconds) but I wasn't really that focused on its timekeeping and I might not have timed it correctly. Then this afternoon I noticed it gaining significantly more time while waiting for my flight to land. At the moment, it looks like it's ~+2 seconds per hour. I am thinking that I should give the movement a few weeks (4 - 6) to see if it is just breaking in (I've read that p.9000s sometimes run fast during their initial break-in). OTOH, 2 seconds an hour is pretty fast...the watch has 2 years of warranty so I am not overly concerned; I am sure Panerai/Shreve will stand behind a brand new watch. Should I be patient and see if the watch corrects or should I just take it in tomorrow and let professionals sort it out? Any idea on how long Panerai will take to get the watch back to me?
