45.5 PO/PloProf comparo photo
As some of you remember, I attended a Swiss Watch Event at a local AD last fall. The manager was gracious enough to allow me to spend a couple of hours comparing the Rolex Deep Sea, all the PO models, and the PloProf.I had admired that PO since its introduction in 2005 but could never decide on a configuration; 42 or 45.5, black/orange bezel, red/white numerals.It did not take me long to decide that the Deep Sea was not for me. I am big on comfort and the DSSD seemed unbalanced due to the heavy head and light bracelet. The smooth caseback let it slip from side to side on my round wrist.Focusing then on the Planet Ocean, I decided that I preferred the 45.5 with black bezel and red numerals for a bit of color. The watch was much more stylish and nicely finished than the DSSD but still tended to slip from side to side. Certainly a snug fit is achievable by adjusting the links but my wrist contracts and expands during the day. An all day fit would be close to impossible.That left the

Panerai S.L.C. Question
Awhile ago I posted a thread asking for suggestions for my first Panerai. I went their boutique in Manhattan and tried on several models in varying sizes. I have looked at everything from their ETA models to their in house models, from Luminor to Radiomir. I know everyone says the 371 or 372 is the way to go to get the best example of a Panerai but I really have my heart set on a Radiomir. If you look at my Rolex collection (with the exception of my Submariner) I tend to like the less sought after models in collections. This is what first brought me to the Radiomir line. In the line everyone has been suggesting the 183 but I wanted something in house and a little different. The new in house 42mm Radiomir is too small for me, I already have 39mm and 42mm watches. I definitely am considering the 190 with the JLC movement, however also in my crosshairs is the 425 S.L.C. model. I really like the minimalist design. I also appreciate it's size and in house movement. My question is
