Just seen this thread, Ken. As with others I think the steel is far and away the nicest of the three and the one I would buy without hesitation.

I suspect you’ve just talked yourself into another job, Paul!
Simon
Bingo!
Glad it worked, although I’m going to stick to Imgur.
Simon
Absolutely worth considering, given the sentimental value.
Unbeknownst to my wife, I had Paul Walker (Post #2) restore her late fathers 1950s Favre- Leuba. He did a fantastic job on it, she was...
Top post of the day!

I’m not quite sure what you think you’ve gained from all these threads, OP, but for what it’s worth I would go for the Omega out of these two. Better finished, better engineering imo, better size.

This would be more convincing if I could actually see what you posted [emoji6].
Simon
Yes. Nice Longines.
Simon
No idea what the post above has to do with anything [emoji2957].
I use Imgur for photo hosting - dead easy to use.
Simon
Great to see you back, Rich.
Your Panerais make me miss my 156...

A good question.
I have a modern Navitimer World worn on either leather or sailcloth. I have always been conscious that it has no screw down crown and chronograph pushers, and so I would never...
This was mine - grey dial DS Action Titanium.
Lovely watch but sold it, as you do.

I bought my godson an Orient Bambino for his 18th birthday and put it on a mesh bracelet - he loves it.

A third of my watches are currently on bracelets and will remain on them as I think that’s what best suits those specific watches.
The other two thirds are on a mix of rubber, leather and...
There are certain features I think are just unacceptable in a Panerai, and which I would avoid.
So I would never consider a PAM with 42mm diameter, or with a snap-on back or with springbars.

Blimey, Ken, I thought you had vowed to calm down a bit [emoji15]. What happened?!
And no, I really can’t see you staring at an empty wrist all year!
Simon
Since the conversation seems to be leaning towards iconic designs, I am surprised that nobody has so far suggested a Breitling Navitimer as a potential option.
Plenty of choice around £4k.
Simon
Spot on wileeeeey!
I could see a theoretical situation where I would consider buying a JC at rrp to replace my current 116660 plus two of my other current watches.
I can’t see myself being...
As of now, £10,350.
Anyone care to guess why?
Simon
That is absolutely appalling. They don’t deserve to be in business if that’s the way they treat people.
I’ve also just noticed snowman’s comment about a $600 rrp for the watch still with a...
From memory there were 3 or 4 members here who bought from the initial KS issue, including snowman, Steve Harris and me.
I quite liked mine initially, but the novelty soon wore off and I sold mine...
Use a free photo hosting service such as Imgur.

My wife regularly puts things away in odd places for safekeeping (her words not mine) and then forgets where she has put them.
At various times these have included her purse, my wallet (why?),...
I suspect the soft black ones are all much the same, if those are the ones to which you are referring. When I bought my two 12-watch boxes they came with the very stiff cream cushions and I replaced...
If ISOfranes work well for you but you cannot stomach the cost, I would echo the recommendation by vortgern for the Borealis version. It is 90% of the strap for 25% of the cost.
