Panerai PAM305 Luminor Submersible 1950 Dive Watch Is Surprise Hit
Panerai's new P9000 automatic movement line was the star for the watchmaker at SIHH this year. The entry level in-house made movement is meant to be a friendly rugged machine with function and reliability in mind. This is particularly seen in the watches that the new movement line showed up in. My favorite of which is this PAM00305 (PAM305), also known at the Luminor Submersible 1950. In addition to being Panerai's first exhibition back diving watch it also has a face without a number 12. This is the first time I have seen this on a Panerai watch, though I am admittedly not a Panerai superfan like some people out there. You have to give this watch a double-take to make sure it is in fact a Panerai, because that "12" always in the same font, is just SO Panerai. Actually the look is based on some historic Panerai diving watches.Like many Panerai diving watches, the PAM305 is made of titanium, and is a lofty 47mm wide. I like the clean look of the design and the dial. The rotating diver's

Impulse buying at the pawn shop¡­
Realistically, I shouldn't say it was an impulse buy, since I did see it two months ago. I did however manage to get 25% off the price they were asking, so there's the impulse part.And here's my "new" used Tissot Navigator (T30.1.485.12)

Sub vs Sub date opinion turns into ramble..
I was trying to decide whether to get a Sub or Sub Date and have seen SO many debates on here I thought I¡¯d share my thoughts (for right or wrong. And I know, it¡¯s already been done to death..*yawn*)As far as I can tell it all comes down to these two things:Do you want a date function or not?And do you prefer an older model or new?That¡¯s it. There¡¯s no other arguments to be had and here are a few things that lead me to this conclusion.Firstly, the issue of the date function making it not a ¡®classic¡¯ Rolex.From what I¡¯ve been able to read the date was introduced in 1969 on the 1680 meaning the Sub has had the date for 49 years (only 16 years less than the Sub has been around.)How many years does a feature have to be around before it¡¯s accepted as a classic?Secondly, the dial is more balanced/symmetrical without the date.True but again isn¡¯t this a matter of preference?It¡¯s a design change to add functionality, not just popped in there to mess up the balance.The date window doesn¡¯t make
