Watch magnetized at airport??
Following a recent business trip to Europe, I found that one of my watches began running fast, really fast. I carried 4 watches on my trip, Rolex Sub Ceramic (which I wore on my wrist on the airplane and through all security points) and a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony, Patek Philippe 5146G Annual Calendar and AP 15202ST in a watch roll that was put through the x-ray machines.

ROO 42 vs 44mm
Hello gang,I need some advice.I am considering parting with my APROO Grey Themes to get into a 44MM Big Panda.My question is; Does the 44mm wear that much bigger than the 42mm?I do wear suite often and occasionally have the ROO 42mm on my wrist.I don't want to lose that versatility if I get into a 44mm.I don't have a boutique close by that I could try on.Any advice, comments or side by side shots are greatly appreciated!Roger

Question about OEM straps
Hey guys!I need some help. I just picked up a 233 and when I have it on my wrist, the strap is either too tight or too loose. I'm between sizes, I believe that it has to do with where panerai punches their holes on the strap. So with the said, do I have to go aftermarket?Thanks in advance.

A DIY Leather NATO
Being somewhat partial to nylon NATOs I haven't tried this myself. It seems easy enough. Why pay $50+ for something so simple? Just take your time..designsponge/2012/03/...atchstrap.html
