Anyone else surprised not to see this on the PP website?
By this I mean the advanced research 5650G, I love it, unfortunately my AD's is already going to another client, and anyways can't justify getting another watch this year, the 5711 and Daytona will have already done a dent in my watch budget, but not too big, but the Vouti has been paid upfront 70% and still need to add 30% to get that bad boy, so adding the 30% plus 52.000 CHF for the Aquanaut on top is quite impossible this year, too bad as I really find it very interesting.

What Panerai would complement a Rolex
I was hoping to get advice from those that already own a Rolex and Panerai on what Panerai you would advise on getting to complement an existing collection of Expy, BLNR, SubC, Z-Blue. I think the Panerais are straight up ugly when juxtaposed to a Rolex, but there's something about these grotesquely huge watches that I find appealing (I'm just not really sure what that is yet, more visceral than anything). The problem for a first time Panerai buyer is that there's so damn many to choose from in a sea of sameness from one piece to another. It appears that a generally desirable piece would include a clear case back and some complication(s). I'd prefer a piece that's not huge, and would appropriately fit my ~6.5 wrist. Also, I'm not really sure if I like the crown guard or whatever that things called that protects the crown (on the Luminor maybe?). Any advice will be helpful. I'd like to stay in the LNIB range of $5K-$7K range (more towards the low midpoint). Or should I just totally forg

First day with the HULK !!!
The HULK is here... for those who saw my last post and were interested in seeing some photos... here they are. They aren't the best, but I'll be taking a lot more. This watch really is stunning in outdoor light. Indoors it can almost look like a Kermit as the Bezel still looks very green but the dial does look very dark almost black. But in the sunlight there's no doubt about it, HULK IN FULL RAGE
