    I've been asked if it's the 37mm model. It is actually the 42mm model in grey. It's not that common. It does have the full kit, so bracelet, strap and rubber plus the pouch.

    Here it is beside a 41mm Sub. Both have 21mm lugs so that's perfect for swapping the strap about.



    I have the grey ghost - it looks great on the official Rado red strap.

    The Grey Ghost does look good.

    Over the moon with this new arrival - I think it's had several previous forum owners and a Zenith was an obvious omission since I sold the bronze Chronometro Tipo CP2 flyback ... this wears surprisingly well for its size, it nominally larger than the PAM514 but feels and looks smaller on the wrist.

    Got this yesterday, I’ve had a few Military Tutima’s including the Commando versions and fancied trying this one out.

    Initial impressions are positive, nice and light for its size, legible dial and the central seconds/minute hands are super smooth.

    The bracelet is little rudimentary but does the job and fit/finish is good too.

    All the best,
    Sanjay

    Never seen any genuine owner feedback on one of these, I would be interested in further thoughts once you've had it a while.
    It looks fairly big, and the amount that the first link of the bracelet has hinged looks a little odd.....

    It’s not that bad in real life but I guess my wrist size is marginal for this one - 6.75”.

    I’ll try the Kevlar at some point but the thought of using the hammer tool supplied is a bit of a worry!

    And in it was this



    Coveted almost since they were released. Tried on and chickened out at least twice.

    Contrary to popular opinion the black is the better looker IMO.

    Picked this up on Thursday - waiting on a red rubber strap as an alternative to the one supplied, which unlike the regular FXD is really quite short.

    Thank you, it may have been better with gold second hand and open case back (the only 2 small downsides for me) but... hey... I woulnt turn it back.

    Always fancied trying a G-Shock, so no better time to nip into town and pick one up on this miserable Monday morning!

    I like that model. I tried it on twice, and I can't remember why I didn't buy it, could be the the negative display.

    Yes the digital display isn't the easiest to read, but the analogue more than makes up for it, I'm glad they set the time at the shop because it looked quite overcomplicated to me, but having said that I'm not a techy kind of guy

    Got this for my 40th after a very short wait. Not a big Rolex fan as a rule, but always liked an Explorer and Milgauss.

    Lovely! These are superb watches.

    I presume you snagged one of the EJ ones?

    Did like the look of these, but seems to look even better in these pictures. The texture of the dial looks really excellent

    Been a while since a Seiko took my fancy (for a long while they were THE brand for me) Picked this up today, and extremely happy that I did. A real stunner (IMO) everything about it is spot on, size, weight, comfort on the wrist. The AR is fantastic - the crystal is non existent at most angles, and then there's the dial!
    Couple of pics below, first in natural light, and a second under night lights really shows it at its best.

    Wanted one of these for a while. Been debating between the Panoreserve and the Panomaticlunar for a few months. I like manual winds, so went for this in the end.
    Traded an Aqua Terra in for it.

    Love this line and the lume on the hour and minute hands kind of makes it less dressy than it could have otherwise been. I also like the mix of brushing and polishing again making it less dressy. Enjoy.

    Ended picking up this instead of the Ceratanium version. I am delighted. It’s distinctive but not blingy, incredibly legible and comfortable, and oozes quality.

    I do like them ^^^ especially on a dark strap. The Petronas coloured rubber is also a good option for sunny days… but the combination of the pinkish coloured strap makes my eyes bleed.

    Cheers.

    I didn’t get the pink strap. I think that’s only available in the online version anyway. Mine came with black textile, turquoise rubber, and I added a black rubber.

    The turquoise really works - the pop of colour offsets the titanium. Recommend trying one on if you are a fan of the IWC chrono at all.

    I haven’t seen it on a black strap before, looks so much better. Perfect variant of the Pilots watch in my opinion.

    Disappointingly, the date changed at 23.40. Is that acceptable for a 5 year old watch, or should I be speaking to Watchfinder?

    Did you get this in store? Desperate to try one on but always thought the Petronas was online only
