Stallone Wears Panerai Luminor Regatta in The Expendables
In his new movie The Expendables, Sylvester Stallone wears the Panerai Luminor 1950 Regatta Rattrapante (PAM332). Panerai will produce only 500 examples of the chronometer-certified special limited edition, which features a split-second chronograph that counts down the 5 minutes to the start of a yacht race. The DLC-treated Luminor case measures 44mm in diameter, and DLC treatment has also been extended to the three buttons, winding crown and trademark lever bridge which protects the crown and ensures its watertight seal. Waterproof to 100 meters or 10 bar, this watch has a screw-down back plate which is burnished and engraved with the logo of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, along with the edition year and the model’s identifying numbers and production number.

My steel diver has been running fast since the very first day I received it... never sent it in since I was too worried that fixing that would mess something else up.

Seamaster ranchero
Here is an interesteing watch i picked up on ebay, a seamaster in the ranchero case. Some semasters from the 1950's where made with the same movement and encased in the same case as the famous ranchero.

Sealed 5167A-001 for USD 21.5k
I have to decide in the next 48 hours if I should get a sealed 5167A-001 which would have my name on the certificate for USD 20k + USD 1.5k for insured shipping & customs duties.Now, I know this model retails for about USD 19k in the US and continental Europe (16k if you remove the VAT in the latter), but it's never available.I'm very tempted and would like to have some opinions from Aquanaut aficionados.Thanks!

Now that's a watch box!
