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. The Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge brings together magnificent yachts from days gone by, restored to their former glory and ready to do battle in a series of regattas on an international circuit, with stages in the

Bavarian Crono Focke-Wulf FW 200 Watch
When it comes to using bits of historical aviation equipment in the physical construction of a watch, it would seem Bremont has some competition, and from Germany no less. We have showed you watches from Bavaria Crono in the past and today's watch features a handmade dial which uses original metal from the last known Fock-Wulf FW 200 Condor. The Condor was a very advanced (for its time) commercial airplane and is known for being the first airplane to travel from Berlin to New York without stopping.The Bavarian Crono Aviator��s Focke-Wulf FW 200 is a 46mm stainless steel watch powered by a lightly-decorated ETA 6498 hand wound movement. Along with sporting original metal from an actual FW 200 Condor, the FW 200 watch features a hand design which is similar to that seen in the gauges of the original plane and the hands, minute and chapter markings have been fully lumed for low-light legibility. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal while the display case back employs a mineral cryst

Honest thoughts on the Emergency
I have ALWAYS like the Breitling Emergency. It's the aesthetics! Just something about its robust look. The only drawback to me is the fact that it is quartz. I wish there were some way that this timepiece could be what it is with an automatic movement. Still it is a really desirable watch to me.Did they ever make this watch in a mechanical movement? Seems like I remember seeing one, but not sure.

How water resistant is a Speedmaster?
I know my SEAmasters are dive watches and should be waterproof and has the screw down crown.However, I took my new Speedy to the Caribbean and it got rained on and splashed and a bunch of other stuff. Just made we wonder - how water resident is it? Have you swam with one? Or just washed your hands with it?SuzySent from my iPad using Tapatalk where I can't do quotes, do smileys very well, or attach pictures easily. :( Wish they'd fix the iPad software so it doesn't crash.

Panerai Mind Boggle
I would like to acquire a Panerai sometime this year. I am having a few holdups and wanted everyone’s opinion. Below I will list what I know/want.- I love the open case back ala 112- I love the icon logo ala 000- I think I prefer the old ETA movement over the new in-house but not 100% on this fact- I do not want any date / power reserve etc basically a base color doesn’t matter technically just a simple face is the criteria - I believe the “older” models have a screw down back over a newer designMy biggest problem is the simple fact if I can get a new 8 day in house movement with an msrp of 6k for 4-4500 vs a used 112 for 3800-4400 do I see the value in the more preferred dial(not reading 8 days), and easier eta movement for years to come? Or just go with a brand new piece due to the close proximity in price.I also am not knowledgeable on the difference of series, if anyone can shed some light for me?I know I have a lot of criteria and some are impossible and
