Grieb & Benzinger Create Unique Skeletonized Chronograph “The Blue Wave”
Grieb & Benzinger’s workshop has created a unique piece for the discerning collector, called The Blue Wave. The 46mm rose gold piece features a rare Minerva monopusher column wheel chronograph movement created circa 1925. The movement has been hand skeletonized, hand engraved, and hand guilloch��d in the Grieb & Benzinger style, resulting in a deeply-textured three-dimensional space that draws and holds the eye. In its heyday, Minerva was one of the finest chronograph makers in the world. They were among the first to incorporate a minute counter. Minerva named its company after the Roman goddess. Traces of this Roman deity can be found again and again in fine watchmaking��even A. Lange & S?hne has immortalized the goddess on its most exclusive pocketwatch cases.Grieb & Benzinger’s typical blue platinum coating of the base plate has found its way into this new unique piece. The base plate was first hand-skeletonized to its barest minimum in characteristic wave

Buckle discomfort .....help me out
So, as my recent posts indicate, I'm new to Panerai. The tang buckle on my 111 is killing my wrist, the inside edge rubs nonstop. Can anyone recommend a deployment buckle that fits the rubber strap? The watch came with a deployment buckle, but it seems way too narrow for the rubber to fit through....or option B, maybe a buckle that is more comfortable. Has anyone else experienced this same complaint?**posted this from my phone, I apologize for the huge picture. ...not sure how to control that**
