CARTIER Pantheres et Colibri Wristwatch
Lounging leisurely among the silvery stalks of grass, against a diamond-besprinkled black backdrop, Cartier's emerald-eyed panther appears pensive. Her white gold body is covered with a 270-diamond-bejewelled coat, set off with lacquered black spots. Just above her shoulders, off-centred at 10:30, two tiny, sword-shaped, gilded steel hands display the hours and minutes discreetly. They are prompted by the 9915 MC calibre housed in a white gold case of around 43 mm diameter set with 314 diamonds. This automatic movement offers over three days' autonomy, featured on the dial in an incredibly poetical style: by pressing the diamond-set crown, the wearer can contemplate the hummingbird (colibri in French) ascend into the sky whilst a golden panther cub emerges from under its mother. The height at which the bird stops indicates the power reserve. The Pantheres et Colibri wristwatch is also proposed with a diamond-paved bracelet. Price upon request. Sharmila Bertin

A visit to DavidSW this morning....
resulted in this:Only a few hours on the wrist, but so far I find it to be extremely comfortable and legible. It's a stunning piece and it's hard to stop looking at it. To those of you who offered insight on the 5712 in my previous thread, I thank you.

And so it begins....New Buffalo Nunbuck strap on the Pam104
This is a Vertigo Buffalo strap in nubuck finish. Very soft and comfortable. Tappers from 5mm to 2mm. 24mm to 22mm. I think the string color about nails the color of the Panerai numbers in the sun. Very happy with the leather color. Classy light brown/sand casual look.I have 3 new straps in bound. Kinda switching up between deployment and tang buckle.
