Depending on the angle and the lighting, the color changes of this very unique dial never cease to amaze me.

312 misaligned hour hand - Panerai struggling to fix...
So I talked a watch neophyte buddy into buying from a Rock Solid trusted seller. He wanted an auto Pam and settled on the 312 after a year of thinking about it.Not long after buying the watch - and wearing it sparingly - he noticed the hour had was so misaligned...he could not tell if it was resting on the hour correctly or not.A local AD nicely sent it off to Panerai for him. Eight weeks pass and he gets a call saying the watch came back looking exactly the same...so back to Panerai. Now, nearly a month later Panerai QA calls the AD saying the hand is still misaligned. It's supposed to be back any day now.Is such a thing so difficult to fix?!?

New Panerai
So I took the plunge and flipped my 214270 Explorer for a PAM 00024 Luminor Submersible. I found the Explorer wasn't getting as much wrist time as it deserved and I realized that I picked it up more because of its history and classic looks than it being something novel in my collection. I emailed DavidSW and set up the trade in about an hour's time. I will hopefully have it in hand by tomorrow and will post pictures once it arrives.Now time for my questions. I was able to source myself a rubber accordion dive strap with buckle to replace the one that comes standard with the model. I have heard only negative things regarding its comfort. I am looking to additionally pick up the OEM Panerai strap that comes with the PAM 00510 model. I think it's called Luminor Vintage. Does anyone have a good resource other than scouring the classifieds here or do I need to walk into a Panerai boutique?I am open to any other recommendations or suggestions from Submersible owners.

Only "swiss" on 14060 dial.
Hello everybody, here we are again. I found this 14060, 1997, T89..., and I really love it. Is it an only swiss dial possible? I know some U could have it, but I'm not sure about this reference. What do you think, is it original and coeval? I'm also trying to contact rolex (maybe they are the only one to know what they did!). I hope someone can help me. Thanks a lot.
