That escalated quickly..
Hi guys! After being an enthousiast for a while, this weekend the moment I became a watch owner was finally there! Having had no previous luxiourious watch, You could say I went from zero to a hundred acquiring this ap 15400 as a first watch. But It is the watch that instantly captured my imagination 2 years ago, and has never left since. Literally a dream coming true! Shoutout to my homie Arjan93 for helping me get a very good deal! For now I remain in the new watch honeymoon phase! Cheers

Superocean in the ocean
Just returned from a few days diving in Siladen, Indonesia with my recently acquired M17393. I did not take it off for almost the entire trip (Indonesia airport security insisted). It was successfully subjected to several of the is it safe scenarios: sleeping, showering, sand and sweat on the beach, drinking alcohol, and 28m maximum depth underwater. Lume is long lasting and the dial is easy to read. So far, the DLC coated case and strap buckle are resisting scratches. Accuracy is consistent at +4 seconds per day. Overall, a great travel/adventure/sports watch!

Seamaster: Aqua Terra
Because there has been quite some show of Aqua Terras recently, it makes me want it more and more and more...There was a chance where I could get one earlier in the month, but I passed on it because it was a quartz. No harm there, but I don't think the asking price is justifiable, so I passed on it.Until last week, an AD-friend told me that one of his regulars wants to trade-back an AT he sold him some time ago, around last year or so - and asked me if I was interested in seeing it. I said sure - why not, I always wanted an AT in my collection anyway, and this one is said to be in great condition. I had my reservations, so I told him Let me know when you get it.So a few days back, he did get it, and I came over to see the watch.The watch turns out to be in great condition as stated - not so good on the leather band though, so the picture here is with my own croco strap. It also unfortunately came without a bracelet... I had a bit of a doubt regarding that, so if I make the purchase - m

Panerai Service Center
I've read a good amount about bad experiences through the Texas service center so figured I'd share a story with a happy ending.About a month ago my 111 I-series stopped running. Having purchased used and being unaware of the service history I decided to go for a full overhaul. I'm thrilled with the results.The watch was in for 33 days total well within their estimate and was polished to like new specs.the cool service boxes are back too!
